:D :x Ok, I went to the Borgata on the last thursday of august. I entered a $40/10 with rebuys and add-ons. This was my first ever live tournament. I usually play pokerstars.com, but I figured I would go cheap and give this a try. 130 people in the Tournament and I finished 5th, winning $725.00. So I figured I would give the $170/20 Satellite to the September 16th WPT Tourney ($1500.00 buy in)a try this past Thursday. I must say, Borgata does a very shitty job of setting up these tournaments.... I signed up at 6pm to be 6th out of 10 to play, 2 hours later and I am still waiting for 4 more people to sign up. The guy at the desk tells me that another Satellite will end soon, and we will probably get the other 4 players. At around 9:30 we finally got the other 4 players we needed. Then the manager tells us that the tournament will not be starting till about 12 o'clock. I wanted to reach across the desk and rip his damn head off. I didn't feel like wasting any more time for this tourney. I left the place. SO, word to the wise, if you are planning on playing any of these one or two table satellites at the BORGATA, you better have plenty of time on your hands, because it could be all day before you actually play!!! Good luck to ya all, and win lots of money!!!/b
