Borgata brat needs alternatives
Hi,
Since the Borgata opened, I've *ONLY* played there (for table games, slots, and of course poker). This time, I will be staying two nights near the Trop (got excellent deal at the Holiday Inn). Can you AC casino pros recommend a good Borgata alternative? Mostly in terms of poker action. I am accustomed to Borgata's low limit games (2/4, 3/6). Would like some nice soft, beatable low-limit games. Would also play some table BJ and craps, and a little slots. I'm thinking I'll definitely need to check out the Trop because it's right next door, and also check out the shopping at The Quarter. But what else is a must-see? |

Re: Borgata brat needs alternatives
Trop poker room is pretty good. I was there during the week of Thanksgiving and they had a real good selection of games going (2/4,4/8,7.50/15,10/20,1/2NL,2/5NL,1/5 7CS,5/10 7CS,
2/4 O8). It's probably better on the weekends,etc..Never played in a tournament there. I don't play any table/casino games, so I can't comment on those. Along with the restaurants/bars in the Quarter, I would say the Hooters downstairs is a must see.... |

Borgata is the only place that is any fun, although Trop would be next in my opinion.

"the pink chip game is LEGENDARY."
For good reason- this game is absolutely nuts most of the time. Generally features 3-4 middle aged asian guys who will raise/cap before the flop EVERY SINGLE HAND. 30bb pots are pretty common in this game, or at least they were when I played it like 3 years ago. |

It's played with all $2.50 pink blackjack chips...it was a decent transition to mid limits for me back in the day.

I was saying that I'm accustomed to the Borgata and wanted alternatives. I think I'll cab/Jitney it over to the Borgata for a short while, but it sounds like the Trop is definitely the place to check out. I'll be looking for pink chips too, hehe. Thanks everyone. |
