Things you see at the Taj, not the Borgata

[afish]

Played some 20-40 at the Taj this weekend. On Saturday afternoon I dropped by the Borgata. There was only one 20-40 game running and a list with 5 names. I hightailed it over to the Taj, where there were three main games plus a must move game, along with a decent list. Seems like the mid-limit players are coming back to the Taj.

On Friday night, the Taj had a 3000-6000 game going, so the high action is not totally gone either.

Of course the Taj also gives you some things you'd never see at the Borgata. At around 4 am Saturday, a completely desheveled guy with a torn shirt came to our table and tried to sell his watch to get gambling money. When everyone declined, he cursed out the table. Later that morning, a homeless guy came in begging for money. One guy gave the homeless man a sandwich, but he kept pressing for cash. Eventually, the man left. These are the added benefits of the Taj experience.

How often does the taj have 30/60 through 100/200 LHE going?

On Saturday, they started a 30-60 hold'em game, but it broke fairly quickly. If you want to play higher than 20-40 hold'em, you need to go to the Borgata.

if you had to compare the taj 20 to the borg. 20, which is softer?

Taj players are worse, but much wilder. Variance will be much higher at the Taj.

I think 20-40 players are coming back to the Taj because of a combination of (1) the weaker gambooling regulars, (2) the Borgata's restriction on poker rates, and (3) to some extent, the relative quality of dealers and floorpeople.

His shirt wasn't torn, just unbuttoned almost all of the way down. At least, it was when he hit up our table for a watch buyer.

Did he call you guys snakes? That was every other word out of his mouth for us.

Is there a 10/20 game at the Taj, and how does it compare to the Borg? I have no complaints thus far with the 10/20 at the Borg, but I wouldn't mind checking out the Taj if it is equally donktastic.
