Any info on 2/5 games in Atlantic City?

[godofgamblers]

I'll be turning 21 shortly and I'm wondering if anyone has any information I might find useful for a 2/5 NL game. I'm mainly looking for the softest spot of course, but any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm primarily a 1/2 6max 6-8 table 22/17 player, so I assume I'll have to make a lot of adjustments to a loose full table game, as I have not played 10 handed nor live besides college dorm games a couple years ago. As such, I am also used to 100BB stacks, so would prefer a capped buyin at 100-200BBs rather than an uncapped, because I might very well make some big errors in a deeper game. If someone could suggest an online limit most similar to it, I'd like to get some time in to adjust before I play live. Thanks a bunch.

Edit: I only asked about 2/5 because I thought it jumped straight from 1/2 to 2/5. If there's anything like 1/3 or 2/4 I'd be very interested too, as I'm rolled for 2/5 but something between 1/2 and 2/5 would be ideal for me to get my feet wet. Live might be harder than I hear tales of it being.

The Hilton 2/5 game isn't particularly tough, especially if you do well at 1/2NL online, although it's not always running, and the service there leaves a little to be desired.

Overall though, there's really not THAT much different in 2/5NL from room to room here.

This isn't your question but if you are a winning 1/2 player online you will probably crush any 5/10 and probably 10/20 as well live.

Yeah 2/5NL shouldn't be any problem, but the live action, opening raise sizes (etc.) will take some getting used to.

Thanks for the replies, your statements make me want to play live so badly now.

I'm beating 1/2 6max for close to 200k hands, so if that's the case, I'm fairly confident then. I'm just a bit worried about adjustments to make to full table, low number of hands, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'd love to play 5/10, but I don't really want to be splashing around that kind of money (yet), especially deeper than 200BB. Btw, do poker room rates exist in AC, and if so, how would I go about getting it? I'd probably need one during weekend trips where I plan to binge-play.

Re: Poker rate

Recommend you go with a friend that can get a rate the first time you play in AC, build up some qualifying time yourself, 2nd time back is much easier to get a rate.

Average four hours of play at trop and you can get the discounted rate. I hear Hilton has a fantabulous $29 rate midweek, too.

If you need a cheap weekend motel, check out the places in Absecon (4-5 miles out).

Hilton does have a nice room and a great poker rate, but I would not count on them running a 2/5 game. It runs very rarely during the week; not sure about weekends.

BTW, all 2/5 NL games in AC have capped buy-ins of $500 IIRC.

I think this is wrong.

1/2NL : 60-300
2/5NL : 300-1000

Please, someone confirm this for me. I'm not 100% sure on 2/5 since I have only played 1/2.

They are all $500 max in 2/5 in AC
