Biggest NL game in AC?

[Mike Gallo]

some kid who was a 'regular' at Taj said 2/5 is the biggest game in AC. that's ridiuclous, needless to say.

He jerked your chain. $2-$5 no limit is sometime the biggest game that the Taj spreads.

When the WPT visited town in September the Borgata spread a $50-$100 no limit game that went every day. Jim Miller, Amir Vahedi and other "celebrities" played in it.

who plays the big games that is well known?

I do not play the big games, and I certainly am not well known, however I have played next to the big game. I would say Jason V is the best known player who plays in the big games.

The Borgata now spreads $25-$50 and $10-$25 no limit as their biggest game. The Trop spreads $10-$20 no limit as their biggest game. The Taj sometimes spreads $5-$10 no limit, otherwise $2-$5 is their biggest game.

There are some good players that play the 10-25 but I don't know if they are known names.
I'll be at the Borg tonight. I won't play it (I never have) but I'll find out what the max buy in is for the 25/50 game.

I think part of the reason for a capped buyin is to prevent someone from bringing a huge stack and using it to play aggressively. I don't think it is a bad idea.

This isn't a tournament, a big stack makes no difference, if someone can buy in for $1 more than me, and has money in their pocket, having $10,000,000 extra on the table won't help them in ANY way.

I play NL at the Taj, Trop and Borg, and the biggest games are at the Borg. They will spread almost any game if there is enough interest. The 10/25 game has a cap of 5K, the 25/50 game has no cap. I have played in both games and not seen any 'big' names', although i did hear that things were different in Sept. during the WPT. Contrary to what some folks may think the cap has a huge impact on a game, if i could sit in a 2/5 game with 5K, I would be able to bully the entire table as i can break any and everyone in one hand. even if someone doubles through me twice, i would still have them covered, i have seen some LAGs go on a rush at 2/5 and win 2K and then proceed to push around the entire table, sometimes raising 10 hands in a row making it impossible to put them on a hand and allowing them to hit weird two pair hands and stack players with one big pair. i for one wouldn't sit in a game if someone had 1K x BB, and i didn't.

Hi Mike,

I was curious whether Jason V still plays in AC, and if so, which game & casino. I know he used to play the pot limit games at the trop but they've stopped spreading that. I have always wanted to meet him because he is the only semi-famous Thai poker player I know (I've surmised he's originally Thai from his extra long last name Viriyayuthakorn ... )

He plays the $10-$25 no limit game or the $25-$50 game when it goes.

He was born in Thailand.

The 25-50 didn't go Friday night or the early part of Saturday (10-25 couldn't even get going by 7:00 Saturday) but I asked the floor and he said the 10-25 is 5K min, uncapped.

Holy F*ck are u serious about the no cap buying?
I only stopped goin to AC, because i felt my deep stack nl play was much better than with 100bbs. I f*cking luv goin to AC way more than foxwoods anyway, cocktail waitresses at Borgata alone!
Next stop... the Borg
