On my way to AC for first time. Any Advice/Suggestions/Warnings??
 

Heading to AC with the wife. We're staying on the boardwalk and I plan on playing 1/2 NL at the trop and the taj.

Any Advice/Suggestions/Warnings regarding poker/food/activities in Atlantic City? I've never been there before so I'm not sure what to expect.

If you have never been there before, be forewarned that the casinos charge for parking in their lots.

However, you will not have to pay again wihtin the same day if you have a receipt from another lot with you (I think until 5AM or some hour like that).

Also, Ombra at Borgata == delicious.

1/2 NL action is pretty good at both the Trop and the Taj, however the Borg is the place to go for a very nice cardroom and good action. Although, since the new room opened, the dealer quality has slipped. Regardless, it might be arguably the nicest cardroom in the country.

If you only want to play 1/2 NL, you can play at any of the rooms. You might actually find the action is better at some of the smaller rooms. I usually play at the Hilton if I'm in the mood for 1/2 NL. I really like the room and they give the best comps, but it is basically the only game they spread.

The Borgata is obviously the nicest room in AC, but I've never played 1/2 NL there because I have heard it tends to attract slightly better players, and I hate their poker chips. However, they have the only regular tournaments worth playing in AC.

Bring lots of soap, wear a condom, don't look directly in their eyes, and if it ever comes down to it, kill the homeless guy and hide in his box until the coast is clear.

As you travel East on Pacific Ave (towards Showboat), the quality of the hookers tends to deteriorate.

BTW, if you are looking for a nice casual meal, I'm a big fan of the Mansion Cafe at the Showboat.

I like the trop tourney too. Bring a list of casino phone # if you want to play tourneys because their schedules change all the time. Eat at Fattburger or the Taj pokeroom grill. Get your chips first. Fold preflop.
