Default Re: AC Trip This Weekend

I like Borgota and Taj tourneys, followed Hilton and Showboat. They say Showboat has the best tourneys, but I have never gotten comfortable there. I really don't like starting 11 handed and there seems to be disputes at the color ups most times. I gave the Showboat another chance last week and busted early (my fault not their's), so I walked over to Taj to play some 1-2 and saw that they had a tourney starting at 12:15 PM with a decent looking structure, so I played. This was my first Taj tourney in a long time. It was very well run and the dealers and floors knew what they were doing. I didn't see anything out of line with the structure like I had read in the past. Other than the grimy chips, it was a great tourney. I will definatly play their tourneys again.

I would not recommend any tourneys or S&G's at Wild Wild West. The dealers know a little about poker, but very little. The players constantly have to tell them how to make change. A side pot usually requires help from the floor, who seems to feel it's necessary to hover behind the dealers in case they screw something up. They'll pull in bets before the round is complete, flash cards, etc. They also play with eleven at the table. The S&G structure makes it a push fest after about the third level. WWW is where I played (and won) my first tourney, but I doubt I'll bother with them any more unless things change. If you want to play S&G, Borgata is the place.

A (little outdated) list of AC tourneys is available here: http://www.acpokerguide.com/dailytournaments.htm

The Hilton $25 Sunday 7 PM toruney is the lowest buy in in town. The play is decent, dealers and floor are competant and the room is nice. It's a little fishy at first but there are enough chips that it's not an all out push fest, even with the fast structure. It is at 7, NOT 9 PM.
