Dont know how, what why or when, but the guys at the Borgata have this poker thing figured out.
Over a thousand players paid the $3000 for the main event. Steve something won. That is not important. The world is melting down and they got a 3 million dollar prize pool in January in Atlantic City. They should make these guys the mayor and city council. I wont name names, but you know who you are.
I thought poker was dead in Atlantic City after losing 95% of its TV coverage. I guess people truly want money more than fame.
Suck it

Stout Wins?
My boy Matt "all in at 420" Stout took down his first 6 figure score recently. Winning the poker stars Sunday $500 buy in tourney for just over $100,000. Good on you. Not the 12 mil Jaime Gold took down in 06 WSOP but it will do.
The Borgata Winter Poker Open starts next week. This is the first BWPO without a televised final table. The main event of the series is a 3k buy in and they are guaranteeing a 2 million dollar prize pool. Didnt they learn the last time not to guarantee money? Jesus. Ray and Tab are great at what they do, but I am unsure about the EV on these guarantees.
I am happy to say they FINALLY added a pot limit omaha event to the schedule. I may even come out of semi-retirement to play it. I really have felt for a while that PLO is a next level game. People who have grown bored with Holdem but still love poker cant get enough of Omaha. For those of you who dont know the game: you get 4 cards instead of two. The board runs out just like it does in holdem. The other big difference is that you must use exactly two cards from you hand with 3 from the bpard to make your best 5 card hand. In holdem you can use 2,1 or none if need be. Try it if you havent yet. I think you will be hapy.
Good Luck,
Krusty
