check out the 2+2 mag this month. Its got a whole review of all the good card rooms including what games and limits are spread as well as many other details you might be interested in.

As far as Absecon goes, I stayed there once. The drive is less than 10 min and totally worth it if you cant qualify for a poker rate at one of the casinos.

Places in Absecon are hit or miss I have stayed at the Days Inn, it was OK. There is also a new Knights Inn just over the bridge past the Borgata that seemed to be in pretty nice shape

FWIW, I found even the poker rate at the Borgata to be more than i wanted to pay. (They quoted me about $100 i think.)

I really need to save up a bankroll so i can play high enough to make these trips pay for themselves. :-D

During the week (Sun. - Thurs.) the Borgata rate is $39 if you play for eight hours, $59 for five hours.

That article is helpful, but it contains some inaccuracies. For example, it mentions a bunch of games at the Showboat, which is a little misleading, because many times the games are not spread. In all the times I've been there (Friday/Saturday nights) I've never seen a 2/5 NL game, and I've never seen stud there, either.

Additionally, I am pretty sure that the Showboat's Sit & Go's, and the Taj Mahal's are shootouts - not top 3 payouts. I know for a fact the Showboat's were shootouts as of a month and a half or so ago (though one of the dealers told me they often make deals at the end).
