Headed to Philly next week for a business trip. Should have evenings and potentially a half day free. Are there any poker rooms within driving distance?

Atlantic City is your only option. Also, I wouldn't recommending trying to drive there on a Friday afternoon this time of year.

Traffic a total nightmare? Are there any alternate forms of transportation (rail, etc.)?

You can catch a train from 30th street station to Atlantic City then catch a cab/bus to get to the casino.

Definitely AC is the only option.

There is a NJ Transit train that goes to AC from 30th St Station. Draw backs are it does take a bit longer than driving given that you have to go on the train schedule and there is the time to and from both the train stations and the train doesn't run all night so you either have to make the last train at like 12:30 or whatever or come back in the morning. The train is cheap. Like $16-20 round trip.

Even if traffic is bad, driving at worst be a little longer than the train method but usually 30 minutes faster.

Traffic is annoying going to AC at the start of the weekend, and returning at the end. As for how bad it is, my 'commute' is roughly 5 minutes longer (Saturday late AM)- taking an hour instead of just under that. Just get left after the $2 toll (basically by exit 14 be in the left lane of the Expressway) and you'll be on the straight shot.
Get caught right, ugh.

Traffic is totally time, day and weather dependent.
