Clueless Norwegians ask: Advice for trip to N.Y/Atlantic City?

[wrschultz]

Again let me stress, do not walk along the boardwalk in AC at night if you like your money/life...

[ReeRayz]

Thanks for all the feedback.

So:
No drunk ego trip on the boardwalk after cash out. We'll remember that.

Any Pot Limit Omaha in AC? I enjoy this action packed game, but it seems from what I have read so far, that its generally an unpopular game in the US.

We have decided to spend Sunday 16th in Washington Square Park, to hustle or get hustled, gonna give the local chess masters a good fight for sure. If we cant win at poker, we'll at least have a last chance to get even before departure to Scandinavia. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This is a great place to play backgammon and chess in New York City.

No Pot Limit Omaha in AC. You can usually find low stakes Limit Omaha High Low at the Taj Mahal but that's about it.

Some places in the south and midwest have mid limit PLO games on weekends. It is often spread with high blinds and mostly strong professionals in Las Vegas and during major tournaments.

In AC, there is order of popularity, no limit holdem, limit holdem, limit and spread limit stud, limit Omaha/8, limit mixed games, and limit stud/8.

The higher limit games are mostly at Borgata, the Taj, and to a certain extent Tropicana. Borgata and Tropicans are tourist attractions in themselves, whereas the Taj is dumpy. I would check out the Tropicana atleast for the atmosphere and decour and the restaurants. There are lots of smaller rooms, with some small stakes NLHE, limit holdem, and spread limit stud, as well as tournaments.

AC is general should be sort of an interesting place for a foreign tourist to see. However, it is kind of sleazy. It is a very poor run down city and old beach resort with all these casinos built in. The game "Monopoly" takes its streets from AC, and there are lots very rich and poor areas, just as there were in the 1930s when the game was developed.

Last yuear when i played at the taj they would sometimes have a PLO8 game going. usually 3 or 4 handed. you can always ask.

[Jeffage]

Really? I believe this, but I literally have never seen it in AC. How big was this game?

Its usually like 10-25 blinds. Moon, a vietnamese guy and another fellow play it as I recall. Went occaisonally. PLO/8. For those blinds they will start a game, I suspect.

Ask. See you in May, BTW.

[Jeffage]

LOL, no way I'd want to play it with those guys, I was more curious than anything. See you soon.
