I'm making my first visit to Atlantic City next weekend. I'd like to stay somewhere that is decent/clean/safe, but also reasonably priced. I'm past the age where I can sleep in dicey hotels, and I'm...

First trip to AC
I will be making my first trip to Atlantic City in about a week (I'm usually a Vegas visitor, living in the West as I do). I will be looking to play some low-limit stud (hi or hi/lo).
You AC...

Re: Newbie Stud Hands
I agree with what was said above. Neither of these hands can stand the kind of heat they're seeing on 3rd. They're marginal/situational hands. Dump 'em on 3rd and save yourself the bets.

Re: MGM HORSE
If MGM spread this game regularly (up to 5-10), I would never play anywhere else in Vegas when I came. That says a lot of nice things about the management of that room that they'd spread a low-limit...

Re: Stud in Vegas
Every time I've been in recent months, both the Mirage and the Excal regularly spread a 1-5 game. Neither has an ante, so the play is very tight (unless you happen upon a lucky table). But it's there.

Re: 2/4 party hand.
Well, you'd be making a huge mistake to fold to a raise on the river with the pot being this size. Huge. If you were so worried that he might have you beaten, you could check and call the river. But...

Re: CA casino question
The smell of noodles, kimchi, and sesame oil are no problem. I cook a lot of Asian cuisine, so I like it. I'd take that over smoke 1000%.

The Amazing Republicat
I play most of my stud on Party -- now that I figured out that playing the 1-2 or 3-6 games tends to somewhat negate the terrifying disproportionate ante structure at .5-1.
Anyway, there is a guy...

Re: Beginner\'s Luck at Party?
They're pretty bad, but you are definitely just on a hot run right now. I don't think anyone would argue that 18 or so BB per 100 hands isn't really a sustainable win rate on this planet (or any...
