I put together a simple FAQ. Please correct or add to it if you wish to. I will submit this to the moderator to see if we can add it to the top of the page. I left out opinions on purpose, even though I know they are asked about a lot, such as, which casino has the softest 2/4.
Information as of 5/18/05: The following casinos have poker: Taj Mahal, Tropicana, Borgata, Sands, Ballys, Resorts, Harrahs, Showboat (House of Blues poker room opening 2005/2006). The first three are the major rooms in A.C. (House of Blues may become the fourth). Transportation in Atlantic City: The two main ways of getting around A.C. besides walking are jitneys and cabs. Cabs charge a maximum of $8 to go anywhere in Atlantic City. Jitneys are small blue buses that cost $1.50. They run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All casinos are accessible by a jitney. Only the #2 jitney goes to the Marina District (Borgata, Harrahs, Trump Marina). Jitneys are typically slower than cabs. Jitneys can be picked up on Pacific Avenue, among other places in A.C. Regularly Spread Limit Hold 'Em Games: Taj Mahal: 2-4, 3-6, 5-10, 10-20, 15-30, 20-40, 50-100/75-150 (sometimes) Borgata: 2-4, 3-6, 6-12, 10-20, 20-40, 40-80, 80-160 (40-80 and 80-160 weekends) Trop: 2-4, 4-8, 6-12, 10-20 (sometimes) Regularly Spread No Limit Hold 'Em Games: Borgata: 1-2 ($60/$200), 2-5 ($200/$500), 5-10, 10-25 (sometimes) Taj: 1-2, 2-5 Trop: 1-2, 2-5? Tournaments: Taj Mahal and Tropicana have daily tournaments. Borgata has tournaments Monday - Friday. Other casinos have tournaments as well. See casino Web sites for more details. |

Isn't the max 1/2 NL buy in $300 at the Borg and others, rather than $200 as you have it? Or am I misremembering?

I messed up, it is $300 max (according to someone's Web site I just saw) at the Borgata. I rarely play the game and should have just left it blank.

Looks great! Two suggestions:
1. I'm getting very interested in the idea of using a Wiki for all community-edited FAQ type uses. Check it out (Wikipedia is a community-edited encyclopedia, but the technology can be used for any community-edited pages) and see what you think. See also this discussion on the Beginners forum. 2. I wouldn't suggest having a "sticky" thread just about AC, because one could legitimately make the same claim for one for Vegas, LA, B&M in Europe, etc. Instead create a big FAQ for B&M with different top-level headings. AC would obviously be one of them, and that's the only one you'd need to implement at present. But I LOVE the idea of having a page with what's currently spread at what rooms. That's where I think the wiki idea could come in handy and improve upon the a forum thread for this purpose. |

Funny you should mention that - I thought the same idea and threw one together. Very incomplete as yet, really just a summary of some of Jeffrage's posts, but take a look:

Tropicana has 2/5 NL pretty much all the time. It has 5/10 and 10/20 NL on weekends.
Tropicana has 10/20/30 Stud/8 and 2/4 and 4/8 Omaha/8 with half kill. The Taj has 2/4 and 5/10 Omaha/8 with full kill. The Taj has a lot of various fairly high limit stud games. The Sands has 4 tournaments a week. Ballys has 2 tournaments a week. Harrahs has about 4 reasonably slow medium buyin tournaments a month. The motels on Route 30 outside of town are a good place to stay. The big three poker room all have poker rates. For the Trop, you have to average 5 hours of poker in previous visits to the poker room. You get much deeper discounts at the Borgata if you play over 4 or 8 hours. The poker rates are easier to obtain and cheaper on weekdays. There are also various special rates at casino hotels and other good hotels available on the Internet and elsewhere, primarily for weekdays. |
