If you want to take a shot at 20-40 i would suggest to play at the Taj. That game is just so much better.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have been very busy this fall, so I haven't been down to AC since Labor Day. However, the Taj 20-40 games are almost always better than the Borgata 20-40 games. I would say that the difference is that three nits are replaced by three LAGs. My general rule is to check out the Taj first and only head to the Borgata if there are less than 3 20-40 tables running at the Taj and it doesn't look like I'll be seated quickly.

Also, to answer the original question, 20-40 will be a little tougher than 10-20. There will be a couple of better players at the table, and the games will be more aggressive.

bankroll wise you should be there at 3k. Key to moving up is to run good. oggogogoogogogo no bankroll management.

You can drop 4K in a bad weekend at 20-40. No way is 3k sufficient. I think an 8-10K bankroll should be ok.

I play the Borgata’s $20/$40 every weekend and will move to the $10/$20 a few Sat’ nights a month if a few of my friends are in the game just to play with them. I know both games.

Of course the $20/$40 games are tougher. There are a few less fish and a couple more tags at each table. There is poorer game selection, as there are fewer tables. But moving up, getting better, and earning a bigger hourly rate seems to be our goal.

If you built a 30k bankroll from playing $10/$20 then I would think you are ready to start playing.

Start sitting in the $20 when the game is good and move back to the $10 when it isn’t.. I hate the term "take a shot" cause it sounds like you aren't ready to move up but you want to get lucky and run. Mix it up till you are 100% comfortable with the bigger game.

If you can consistently beat the $10 and have built that bankroll playing, I think you are ready and it will force you to learn to beat the $20 as you did the $10.

Yes, it is. Thank you.

From what I hear, you should start to make the move. I love your $10/20 bankroll.
