AC poker rooms - smoking or not?

[koko2315]

Just curious if all the poker rooms are now smoke free. Anyone know. I'm doing my first B&M session this weekend in Atlantic City...

[mostsmooth]

borgata, trop, taj - no smoking
sands- pretty sure no smoking
ballys- i think its smoking
harrahs- been to that joke once long ago, cant recall, but would guess non smoking
caesars-cant recall

Here's how things were when I went:
Sands - very small poker room with smoking
Taj Mahal (sp?) - Big poker room no smoking
Borgata - Big poker room no smoking.

I didn't play at the Sands (they had like three tables running when I went there, and I hate smoke). The Taj Mahal was ok, the Borgata was really nice.

Bally's is definately smoking.

How's the game at Bally's, if I may ask? Good times, or is it worth it to give up the smoking and play elsewhere?

Friend played this past weekend at the 2/4.

He said it was very loose/passive with a lot of limping but not much raising.

Lots of guys buying in for low amounts and losing it all shortly and moving on. High turnover at the table and only a very select few real players.

He quadrupled his money in about 4 hours.

He didn't get to play the no-limit table.

I'm pumped. Heading down EARLY Sunday morning. And playing the Sands tourney $40 +$10 Sunday afternoon.

skip bally's, the action is usually good but the dealers are terrible and like someone else said the turnover is high. you can take plenty of smoke breaks right outside any of the big three card rooms (taj, trop, borg).
