Atlantic City Trip in October

Nooner81

My wife and I (with another couple) are heading to New York for a weekend in October. On the Monday they are flying back to London and I am heading to AC for 3 nights.

My plan is to play only 1 tournament a day. (I plan on grinding it out on ring tables at least 12hrs a day).

I would appreciate if any of you could offer some insight into the tournaments you have played. ie; Casino and blind structures. I would of course prefer to play in tournaments that are not all-in fests.

As well I love to eat (steakhouses and Italian are my favourites) and would like to hear where and where not to dine.

Thanks,

Dave

I have found and most of my friends agree that Borgata has the best play for your money as tournamnet poker goes.

Here are some links..
Single Table Sit and Go's

Late Night Tournaments (60 bucks 10K in chips)

Wow $80+20, $60+15.

Way too much rake!!

No way anyone should even consider ever paying that high a rake?

But at least structure is playable that you can justify paying that high of a rake.

I'm headed there this weekend with a friend to play the WPT @ borgata on Sunday...I hope I like it...lol..The structure of the main event @ borgata is sick...30k in starting chips starting @ 25/50...so sick...

GL when you go in October...I'll let you know my two cents when I get back next week sometime...

Dude, $15 bucks to play a tourney at the borgata.. That doesn't even pay for the power to light your table for the 4 hours you'll be there :-)

If someone could suggest a good hotel ($150 US range), I may be heading down there in December as well.

I would recommend the Borgata, everything is great there.

Thats the story of my tournament(i had 85k behind after i lost this one) and Ramdin had showed down the following in this level: Aces 3x already(four with this one), queens 3x, jacks 2x... I failed you Canada...

Spicol

That would make a good sig:

"Known all over as a player in seat one"

Choron

So typical of the WPT live bloggers too lazy to ask for a fucking name...Seriously...lol

I am staying at the Trump Marina for $99/night. It doesn't have a poker room which sucks but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than at the Borgata.
