The rates vary and you'd be best off calling the poker rooms directly. The only rooms that consistently spread 2/5 are the Taj Mahal and the Borgata. You definitely won't get a poker rate at the Borg without prior play at a higher limit. I'm not sure about the midweek rate situation at the Taj. You might succeed in getting a poker rate elsewhere (I've heard the Hilton is relatively liberal, if you talk to the right manager) but you won't be happy having to meet an hourly play requirement in any of the other rooms if you want to play 2/5 all week.

If you're not wedded to staying where you play, my personal recommendation is the Sheraton at the AC convention center. It's a nice, well-appointed hotel. You can walk from there to the central Boardwalk resorts (Trump Plaza, Bally's and Caesar's) and it's a short cab to any other casino in AC.

If you want to be walking distance to the Taj, you may find it's cheaper to book at Showboat or Resorts (adjacent on either side) than at the Taj itself. Nothing is really walking distance to the Borg, but Harrah's and Trump Marina make for very short cab/jitney rides; Trump Marina can be a good deal, though the decor is cringe-worthy.
