Top AC Players
 

Who are some of the top players in AC? Where and what games are the pro's playing? I hear the high limit mix games have alot of top pro's? Is the 80-160 stud game at the taj's a tough game? I see alot of older players in this game.

Re: Top AC Players
 

the 2-5 game has alot of selfprofessed pro's, meaning its full of regulars who claim to play for a Living, but dont let this fool u, the games are 100 percent beatable, and most of these players arent very good, and will pay u off. As for the high limit i just got back from borgata and cindy violettte and victor rambdin were in the high stakes room, violette playing 3-6 stud, and rambdin 10-25 nl.

with 3/6 you mean 3/6 or 300/600?

Re: Top AC Players
 

I don't know about top players per se, but whenever I go, I usually see some of the same people dominating the tables who I saw on my last trip.

when we discuss highlimit games we usually leave off the zeros.

I wouldn't have expected Cindy violette to play that high. She's never come across as a good poker player to me.

Re: Top AC Players
 

Cindy Violet may not be good at Hold'em, but she played Stud HI professionally for several years.

She is one of the most feared stud high players around, unlike 90% of the TV donks she is the real deal.

Re: Top AC Players
 

crazy, wouldn't have thought it. Now I know not to play 300/600 with her.

Re: Top AC Players
 

I watched her win her first WSOP bracelet in Stud 8 back in I think 2004 at Binions. She plays well and took it down after a getting HU well ahead and then proceeding to need hours to finish her opponent off. She stayed tough. Stud is her game, NLHE is for TV.

Re: Top AC Players
 

I remember Daniel Negreanu saying that she improved a lot in NLHE but that stud was her "bread and butter". I think she plays at the Hustler's 7stud game.

Re: Top AC Players
 

I consider myself to be one the good poker players in Atlantic City. You can catch me playing 1/2 at Resorts. When I am not at Resorts, I am online at PokerStars playing 2/4 (cent) limit hold-em.

Re: Top AC Players
 

Chris reslock plays down there a decent amount. I have heard mixed opinions of him but he won a bracelet in stud this year beating Ivey heads up. I haven't seen him play that much to know how good he is.

Anyone actually know where he plays. I figured I would see him at the Taj since he is a Stud player, but have not? Is he usually at the Taj or Borgata?

QFT - Everyone out here holds her in pretty high regard as far as stud goes, and that's saying a lot considering the status of 7stud in AC.

Judging her by how she plays NLHE on TV is like judging Barry Bonds by his outfielding skills.

Re: Top AC Players
 

Is there anyone who prefers SHL over SH besides me?

Re: Top AC Players
 

i prefer shl over sh as well, I love nothing more than to see people steam after they get a full house and i have a 2 4 5 8 and we have to split the pot. Its good for like 10-15 bb later from the same guy cause they get so steamed

lol, hi/lo is very cruel

Re: Top AC Players
 

Its not the fact that its cruel but to me... stud-hi bores me to the point where i will start to chew on the rubberband that I wear on my wrist cuz ima 5 star G ....

but on another note...yea Stud Hi just blows man

Hi-Lo games actually were invented by people who had gotten bored with the hi-only games. I'm not at that point yet, though.

I haven't been to the taj in a while, mostly borgata lately so i can't say if he plays there or not. I do see him on weekends at the borgata in the 150/300 or 200/400 stud and up. While taj has many more mid limit stud games, the borgata i believe offers higher nosebleed stakes. Not sure how high taj limits go but Borgata, at least on weekends spreads all the way to 1000/2000 sometimes.

Re: Top AC Players
 

Borgata will spread whatever they can - from what I've seen, when its a 'normal' weekend (nothing in town) its 80/160 holdem, 75/150 stud hi, and the occasional 100/200 mixed. NL its generally 10/25 or 25/50.

When its tournament circuit time, I've seen the 4000/8000 game start.

I don't ever see him at the Taj. He must of gave up poker and went back to driving the taxi.

Re: Top AC Players
 

There is one really good asian kid playing the 2/5 and occasionally the 5/10 game at the taj. I heard he studies computer engineering at stony brook.

i am here now. cindy was recently playing 4/8 stud and everyone seems to think she is actually a formidable oppoent fwiw.

and yeah, there are tons of guys in the 2/5 and 5/10 games that suggest they play for a living or w/e, but i have a really hard believing poker is their only source of income. of course, they are in the poker room all day every day so who the f knows.

Re: Top AC Players
 

Borgata high limit stud has been 100-200 lately instead of 75-150. Previously there had usually been 75-150 and 150-300 stud. Now usually it's 1-2 and something much bigger like 200-400, 300-600 or 400-800. It all depends who is there. Borg also has one 20-40 stud player that has a pleasant crowd of regulars that like to play a lot of hands.

In the mid limit stud arena, Taj has 10-20, 20-40, 40-80 every day. 80-160 stud goes many weekends.

Anyone know the older asian guys that play in the high limit room at the borgataon the weekends? I think they play stud/omaha games
