Thanksgiving weekend in AC
 

I'm heading down to AC on Friday and I was just wondering if the holiday weekend is typically more or less busy?

Going to play the daily's at Showboat if anyone has any more specific knowledge.

Good to know, thanks!!

Last year's Black Friday is the single busiest day that I have ever seen in a poker room. I will not repeat that experience personally.

What room? What time? What game did you play/try to play?

Re: Thanksgiving weekend in AC
 

Borgata around 1-2 PM. 2/5 and 5/10 NL both were slammed with lists out the door.

I plan to show up at 10am for limit, either 10/20 or 20/40. Hope it won't be that bad then.

On black Friday last year I got to the Taj around noon. It was just starting to get packed. Well, at least the low limit side was.

I played at Foxwoods last year and got to the room around 10:30-11. I waited 3-4 hours for a seat in the 4/8 game.

[censored] ridiculous.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Heading to the Boat on Saturday. See y'all there!

Last year the Borgata ran their Friday tournament on the day after Thanksgiving. It took up most of the room and the lists for cash games were unbearable until around 5 pm. Assuming the Friday tournament is a go, I'd avoid the Borgata until Friday evening. Other rooms should be ok, and Saturday and Sunday will be fine.

they will have the friday noon tourney, 6pm is cancelled

i was going to try and play all poker this trip (lol glgl me) but wont be down on friday until about 1, hoping lists are tolerable

Re: Thanksgiving weekend in AC
 

between the Taj and ceaser's which tournies would you pick for friday afternoon?

don't think i'm going to be able to make it in time for the noon tourney at the borgata

Re: Thanksgiving weekend in AC
 

Trop has a 7:15 tourney. I think I might be playing in that one.

Play at the Taj. If you are talking about the 3:00PM tournament at Caesars, avoid it at all possible costs. I played it yesterday, only becuase it was $50, and I had never been in the Ceasars poker room (until yesterday, it was the only poker room in AC I had not played in). The tournament is a total crap shoot.

I was up to about 7,000 going into the first break, and then went card dead. I got knocked out in level 6, 17th out of 40.

Caesars 3PM - 5,000 starting chips, 20 minute levels.

L1: 25/50
L2: 50/100
L3: 100/200, ante 50
10 MINUTE BREAK
L4: 200/400, ante 100
L5: 400/800, ante 200
L6: 600/800, ante 300

EDIT:

L6: 600/1200, ante 300

I just came back from a 15-hr session at the Borg. Played 1/2 NL and 10/20 LHE, both were very good games. Hardly any wait times for either. The 10/20 had 2 main games going up until about 5am. We were in the high side too, surprisingly, so got to enjoy the "perks" (free fiji/red bulls).
