Default Re: Atlantic City: Where\'s the best place for small stakes NL?

Oh man.

1) There is no .50/1 no limit in any casino in AC. 1/2 is the lowest you will find anywhere. Most 1/2NL games in AC have a 300 max buy-in, so you will be severely shortstacked if you buy in for the minimum.

2) Don't go until you are 21. A lot of bad things can happen. AC is beginning to crack down on underage players, and young kids playing 1/2NL are very, very suspicious. Unless you look like your are 25, just wait the four months.

3) DO NOT order alcohol. You might get away with playing underage, but ordering drinks is pushing it. If you get caught doing it, not only will you get thrown out and lose your chips, but you could face penalties for trying to drink underage too.

4) If you have a fake, make sure it is a VERY good fake. The penalties for getting caught with a fake are severe.

Now, I hope you don't think I'm some adult who's against underage gambling. I'm in the exact same boat as you. I turn 21 in December and I've been dying to get down there since I only live an hour away. But my buddies have been playing all summer there, and have warned me constantly about not playing. AC's fun trick is to card you when you cash out your chips, and if you don't have ID, they just take them from you. Ouch! You're best bet is to just wait the four months and play legally.
