Borgata this week/weekend

colgin · #1 09-16-2005, 08:46 AM

My wife and I are considering hopping on the first NY to AC bus tomorrow andheading over to the Borg for the day and returning in the evening. I know there will be a bunch of 2+2ers there for the day or the weekend.

I suspect with the tourneys it will be fairly zooish. My question is for those of you already out there (or who are geting there later today and can report back). How crowded is the card room? I don't want to make the five hour round trip to get in 2-3 hours of poker because of long waits. While I can play a little higher to avoid waits my wife needs the $3/6 table.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks.

Colgin

maybe your wife and mine can wait for a 3/6 seat together, i'm sure the lines for that will be incredible after noon

This is precisely why I plan on being on my way before 9 am.

Someone here said you can call the Borgata poker room and get your name on the list in advance... even if you aren't staying in the hotel.

Is this true? And if so, what's the number because I can't find it on the website.

Seems like this would change lots of things...

what limits do you play

AC has other poker rooms? Explain please.

An alternate is Harrah's at the Marina. Since the poker room has been remodeled its pretty nice, it is not as crowded and is usually a soft game. They also have SNG's but the rake is heavy.

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] You are a Taj-hater too? Say it ain't so. I know that it's not as nice as the Borgata, but it has a special place in my heart since it was the first place I ever played live casino poker back a few years ago. Some old dude got super mad at me for sucking out on him in a 2/4 game and threw his cards in my face! How can you not love that!?!
