Taj for thieves and dirtbags???

[stinkysam]

I was playing at the Trop on friday night and as I sat down there was a conversation going on among some regulars at the table about what a hell hole the Taj is and everyone was basically ripping the poker room there. The general agreement among the regulars was that the Taj is basically a den of thieves and dirtbags who will roll you in the alley in a heartbeat.

I have played several times at the Taj and I actually like it there. Although it is not as plush as the Trop and you are perhaps more likely to be hassled by hard luck railbirds for a handout I never felt that I was going to get jumped while going to the bathroom or catching a cab.

I chalked it up to these guys simply talking out of their collective asses or being too easily intimidated by the yelling that occasionally erupts, but it made me curioius- has anyone had an experience like this at Taj???
