Re: Trip Report, the Taj: First Casino Play
[ QUOTE ]
I stayed at the same table for 7 solid hours.

This is not unusual. In fact, I'd bet most people did at least this on their first trip. I usually play about six hours minimum and up to 18 without anything more than a short meal break.

That said, I felt I had slightly worse-than-average cards, but only slightly so. I saw high pocket pairs four times in 7 hours: A, K, Q and J each once.

30 hands an hour, 7 hours, 210 hands. How many times do you think you should get each pocket pair?

Anyway, after 7 hours I finished (drum roll) down one SB. Yep, I had spent 7 hours at the table and lost $2. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

At a 2/4 table with a $4 rake, breaking even IS winning.

Would I go back to the Taj? Sure.

Glad you had fun, but next time in AC, go to the Borgata. You'll never go back to the Taj (except for the occasional long Borgata waiting list).
