I haven't been to Emeril's Burger in a while but what I didn't like about it is the bread is so big that it overtakes the burger. I think the burger at Steelworks is better overall, but that's just my opinion. I prefer a softer smaller bun but they changed their menu recently so I haven't tried one since. My favorite item at Emeril's is the catfish sandwich.
Nice trip report good luck on your next trip back to the sands fish bowl!
Back for an overnight trip again. Headed up Thursday afternoon, and home Friday afternoon. Dealers seemed MUCH better. Must have been a bad run the last time.
Arrived and sat right away, love the high hand promo, mostly for the change in play for the rec guys. Spotted a couple of LAGs at the other end of the table. Made a few plays and collected a few chips. After my buddy arrived, I took a quick break and got a quick sandwich at the croissant place. Was nice, I'll be back. Back to the table, gave it all back. Turns out the 7 seat was just a donk splashing around occasionally, and the 8 seat was a grinder who must have just gotten good cards.
Back to Emeril's for the burger. The Steelworks was considered and postponed. I comment to the waiter at the end, that I sort of want them to bring me a bad burger one time, so I can try something else on the menu. Good for a chuckle, but you liked the catfish, and the hot chicken looks tasty too. Might have to double dip (lunch/dinner) next trip.
A nice cigar and burned through a Jackson while he went to check-in offsite.
About 10 minutes after sitting, I make a bad call with Q9 on the button, but flop a boat and call his flop and turn bets before making a min-raise ship on the river. He says he thinks I flopped the boat, but makes the call anyway. I slightly more than double up (multiple callers pre and on the flop). A few more hours of no significant action, table thins out, we take a final cigar break and call it a night.
$599 high hand today from 11-2, and again a few hours tonight. We get the just after it starts, the room is busy, but we get seated at a new table. The 1 seat looks like action, and sure enough is successfully aggressive the first orbit, but mostly from getting hit in the face with the deck. I'm down half a buy-in before I decide to play right. Turns out that does me no good, and I decide to spaz a couple hands. Late position raises with junk, firing multiple bullets, and I take down a couple pots to almost get back to even. I blow out at 2, beat some (but not all) the traffic back home.
Booked at the Borgata next week already (comped). Then, UGH, back to work the next week. Summer vacation is over.
I will say I'm much more likely to return to play at the Sands, but would really like cheaper rooms.
