Poker trip suggestions please, first week in Jan
Might have some vacation I have to kill Jan 2 - 5 and my previous plan of a group trip to Vegas might be dead. Would there be much action going on if I went to Atlantic City or Tunica (or even Vegas for that matter I guess). I'm coming from NC. Suggestions?
I'm sure I'll be happy with NL action anywhere, but would appreciate some decent mid-limit limit action as well (10/20 to 20/40 range.) I like cheap hotels (either because it's cheap or because I can get a discounted poker rate) and being able to get around without renting a car. I like to at least make enough at poker to pay for my expenses (flight, hotel etc.) That means either softer games or lower expenses :-) If I went to Tunica I'd stay at the Gold Strike again. Buffet comps and poker rate make it very cheap. I've done Vegas and have some ideas. I've never been to Atlantic City. But in general, wondering if it would be dead during that particular week/weekend. TIA |

two big tournys in tunica at this time, the wsop circuit event at grand casino tunica jan 3-22 and a world poker open at the gold strike jan 3-23. this will for sure add all kinds of action tournament and cash games.
the circuit event offers lower buyins in the 300-500$ range. not sure about the open. plenty of options sounds like in tunica the week u r going! |

Why not come here to LA. The weather should be good and you can't go wrong with the number of card rooms.

There's always action in Atlantic City, and rates are lower in the winter months. I'm usually only there on the weekends, though, and I don't know about that week in particular.
I understand that there is usually at least one game higher than 80-160 on Friday nights at the Borgata. |

BJJIII and I have a Tunica trip planned for mid-Jan. We're staying at the GS and will be terrorizing the cash games and the $200 2nd chance tourneys FTW!

Always have games in vegas. The problem is paying for the rooms around that time. They really jack those rooms up for new years. Not to sure how it is the couple days after but I'm sure they're still pricey.
