Atlantic City Tournaments

A couple of buddies and I are going to AC in mid-November. I typically play low limit tables online, with a couple mtt's thrown in for fun. One of them wants to play a tournament on the weekend. My question is where would we find 1.) a tourny that weekend, between $50-100 entry fee? and 2.) some soft 3/6 or 5/10 games?

Taj has 100$ tournaments on sat and sun I am pretty sure.

Borgata has tournaments that are $60 buyin with a $15 entry fee.

Payout is $500 for 1st, $100 for 2nd.

That's a damn 25% rake just for playing tournament. I think you should try the 1/2NL tables instead where you can buyin for about $80-100 and sit comfortably.

huh? The payout is based on how many enter. Last Borg tourney I played that was $60+15 payed like $3200 to the winner.

Showboat has an incredibly cheap $40+$10 tourney with a very good structure 5k chips, 20 minute levels and no antes! Best low dollar tourney in AC

he was referring to the new borgata sit and go's

Thanks for the help...So are there any with a more normal house cut, maybe under 20%?

Tropicana has a Sunday 12:15 $100 + $25 and they get about 100 players. I haven't played in it yet but it sounds like a good one. The rake is ridiculous but I think pretty typical of AC tourneys. I'm a fan of the Trop - their site has the rake structure for the tourney if you're interested.

As far as cash games go, everything from 2/4 to 6/12 is quite soft everywhere. I know that's not much on specifics, but you shouldn't have a problem anywhere.

No. Well, not really. For a low buy-in ($100 or lower), 20% is as good as it gets, and even comparatively cheap. Have to go $175 and up to get under 20%.


I compiled this list from the casino websites and re-checked it recently. I don't guarantee accuracy, but it should be reasonably close. If I'm missing any rooms that run tourneys in AC, or if anything is vastly incorrect, let me know.
