1/2 NLHE games in AC
 

I have about 10 vacation days left at work I need to take before the year ends. I plan on taking random days off on non-busy weeks to head down to AC and play some poker.

I've never been to AC so I was wondering where some good 1/2 NHLE games are on the weekdays. I'll be getting there around 10-11am and plan to play the entire day. Are these games always full early in the morning? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Tropicana has reasonable lists sizes and poorly played, beatable games. Decent enough room when it comes to navigation, etc. Otherwise, Borgata.

I have a 2 part/reply question.....

1. AC 1/2 games as a whole are pretty beatable. again, i dont have enough hours to quantify, only like 80-100, but I've seen easy tables at caesars and taj, and rocky (for 1-2) tables at Taj, havent been to borgata yet but from all peoples accounts it varies too and can table change to find drunken fools. trop pretty good too from what ive seen.

my question concurs with the OP. Lets say I wanted to take extended few month trip to AC and grind day in/day out for extra cash. Are 1-2 games like on a tuesday in october existent? are they just full of local typical weak-tight stiffs who wont pay anything off? or are still some action. I'm curious to see replies too, I'd have to think borgata has best action any time. You wont find great games weekdays anyway but maybe they exist decent to a certain extent though theyll never be summer weekend quality

I have not read any other responses yet.

Visit all of the room and see which one you like best.

One day visit the Taj and the Showboat. You can park for free with a member rewards card.

Next time visit the Trop and the Hilton.

Another time visit the marina area, Borgata and Harrahs.

I played at the Showboat this past Tuesday around noon and they had many 1-2 games going. I walked through the Taj around the same time and the Taj also had a lot of games going.

You will find action during the week.

Re: 1/2 NLHE games in AC
 

Borgata is certainly the nicest room and always has the action you are looking for. Just some advice though, is that the games get better the later in the evening and into the night it gets. And weekends are best. Sometimes during the day you will see a ton of weak/tight players, which while profitable are not nearly as profitable as drunk buffoons who are more prevalent the later and closer to the weekend it is.


That being said I have never played at the other rooms during the day on weekdays. Perhaps their "regulars" are more of the gambling moron types.

I'm going to check out Casesars and Trop. From reading some of the old threads, seems like these rooms are the easiest games. I'm going to check out Borgata too if I have some time just because everyone talks about how nice it is.

Caesars has the BBJ which makes the drop 5 bucks instead of 4. Since the BBJ gets taken out at 20 bucks, if you win a 25 buck pot the drop is 3 bucks which sucks. That being said you might win the BBJ and be rich so who knows. Caesars does have the advantage of being centrally located on the Boardwalk and having the Pier which is nice. Caesars is my second favorite place to play.

awesome, thanks for the info man. What other casinos are located on the Boardwalk and do you recommend any other places around there? What's your favorite place? Borgata?

Re: 1/2 NLHE games in AC
 

If I have it straight from North to South on the Boardwalk with poker rooms

Showboat
Taj
Caesers
Ballys
Trop
Hilton

About a mile from Hilton to Showboat

Trop and Taj have the biggest poker rooms.
