Borgata vs. Taj Game Softness

[rubixxcube]

The only comment i would add is that at the borgata there will be more 2/5 games going then anywhere else so your wait for a game will probably be the shortest there.

But by the time he walks to the jitney stop, catches a jitney, and takes the 10 minute ride to Borgata (it stops at Trump Marina and Harrahs first), he will be losing time, plus the time to make the reverse trip when he wants to go back to NYC. If you don't care about ambiance, the Taj is fine. Showboat is right next door if you want a change of pace and they spread 2/5 NL as well.

I think 2/5 at the Taj plays slightly smaller than at Borgata most of the time. Also, if it makes any difference to you - 2/5 at Taj is raked vs time charge at Borg

How much is the time charge; $5 per half hour?

I have only played in it a few times, but I am 95% sure the 2/5 is time charge at the Taj as well. I thought the individual casinos didn't even have a choice, the rake/time charges were set by the gaming commission?

The 2/5 NL in Taj was raked the last time I played it. The 5/10 was $5 every half hour.

2/5 raked @ Taj as of yesterday

True that about the extra travel; I'll most likely play at Caesar's or the Borg. Since I'm already taking the subway to 42nd street and a 2h20m bus ride, I probably won't be up for more public transportation once I get to AC.

I forgot to mention you can also take a taxi, taxis are capped at $11 in the AC limits.

I think it is very close. Like someone said, the Borgata will probably have more tables going so you can switch fairly easily if your table is bad. I always liked the Taj though b/c it was in rounders [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and they have some big time spewing maniacs that have come through there in my experience.
