It opened last thursday (11/03). Don't know about multiple shots at the bonus, though. Room was pretty crowded, though I think the other posters are being a little tough on it -- Palace Station...

Re: 7-card stud Hi/Lo on the East coast
Definitely agree on the 3/6 game. Most of the folks who play the 10/20 mixed game are really there for the Omaha, so that side is a little tougher (but certainly beatable); the Stud side can be...

Re: AC this weekend
I'm planning on being at the Taj at some point this Saturday, playing either 5/10 O8B, 3/6 2-way or 3/6 hold-'em. I've never played at the Trop, but I might stop by there, too. I'm thinking maybe a...

Re: Viva Las Vegas
Omaha is spread 5/10 Hi-Lo at the Mirage or 4/8 Hi-Lo at the Orleans. I'm not sure what level (4/8, I would think), but I've heard the Orleans spreads Omaha Hi on a regular basis. I've only played...

Re: AC @ Taj this weekend
I'll be there Saturday, probably starting around 12:30. I'll be playing 5/10 O8B (most likely), 5/10 Stud or the 3/6 mixed game (1/2 Stud 8B, 1/2 O8B). And if I'm running good, I might even attempt...

Re: AC $5-10 Stud ?
Borgata does spread 5/10 pretty regularly (maybe not everyday). Stud's not my main game, but I think the play varies depending on when you play (during the week it's a bit of rock garden, weekend...

Re: Best Stud or Stud8 Games in AC?
10/20 two-way is a good game. Mostly regulars, but these guys (and gals) tend to favor the O8B, so if you're dealt some good cards during the Stud 8B rounds, you can earn pretty good money. You...

Re: O/b games in Las vegas
Jay,
When you say "worst," do you mean a bunch of regular tightwad nits or worst players that make for easy pickings?

Stud 8/B board lock
I'm relatively new to Stud 8/B and believe I've missed bets and raises when I have the best low hand. I obviously have board lock for low when I have, for instance, 5-4-2-6 and my opponent has...

Re: Atlantic City Poker Rooms
The 5/10 game is usually good since the majority of the players don't try to scoop pots (only HOPE to do so) and are passive -- many check/call their nut low draws, won't raise their made nut lows...

Erby,
Does the Trop still spread Omaha 8/B games? I'm sort of a Taj weekend regular, but was thinking about a change of scenery for next time

Re: AC This Weekend 8/20-8/21
I'm an Omaholic, so I'm forced to go to the Taj. I'll be there one of the two days. The evil wankers who run Borgata's poker room claim there's not enough demand for Omaha for them to spread it but...

Re: Two-way game at the Taj in AC
Yes, the 3/6 and 10/20 are both 8/B. The 3/6 game has no ante in Stud (just a $1 bring-in) while the 10/20 Stud has a $1 ante and a $3 bring-in.

Re: Two-way game at the Taj in AC
The biggest problem with the 10/20 game is that often there are several players at the table who really only want to play 10/20 O8B and sit out many hands when it's time to play Stud. Makes for a...

Re: First live O8 session
The Taj in AC has 2/4 and 5/10 O8B, along with 3/6 and 10/20 mixed games (1/2 Stud 8B, 1/2 O8B). Both games tend to turn over rather slowly (the first 10 at the table often don't leave for several...

I take the Gambler's Express to AC. If I catch the 10 AM (give or take 5 minutes) train, I usually have no problem joining a game. If, however, I catch the 12:15, it's 50/50 sitting down within...
