extra 45 mins for the train vs driving sounds like a pleasurable experience, do you have a link?

I will be coming during the week, in part for biz, hence the selection of days can be flexible during the week if it helps find games I would like to play.

also if you're flying back to LAS straight from AC...you're better off catching the train back to Philly and flying from there...the AC-Philly leg of the trip schedule is found here: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/r0090.pdf

my personal recomendation is to book the WAS-PHL leg on amtrak.com then match it up w/ the above sked...that way if you want to take the acela (a nicer and faster train, but not much faster) you can do that and then book grab a ticket to AC directly from the machine (Philly-AC is $8 each way)

Anyone playing in the Junkies Poker Open tomorrow? I have always wanted to give it a shot but wish they would do it on a Friday.

I have been on the floor numerous times at peak hours and have never had a problem approaching the floor, getting a seat or waiting a brief period of time on a list, the borgata floor competently seats folks efficiently, - take advantage of that, cutting ahead of a list or sitting in an unbalanced game (9 players, where a 7 player game needs players) makes no sense [

] ...let the floor seat you, it's their job and they do it well!

re:

Need more floor people. I'm staring at empty seats at games with waitlists. Five more minutes and I'm taking the seat. Screw the list.

We haven't had to do so in the past but this has been a crazy day and i think it will continue tomorrow and through the weekend ($500k Guaranteed Tourny). With that said i make no promises.

So far it looks like renting a car and driving is the best bet, do you have any other recommendations for mass transport? I was hoping to take a plane but there seems to be nothing out of DC, how about trains?

PS: I generally play 40/80 to 60/120 for limit hold-em, 5/10 + NL, 2/5 or 5/5 PLO, and 50/100ish HOSE, Stud/Stud 8b games if there are any going, I don't mind changing some dates around to arrive when these games should be available if you have some recommendations.

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding some of the games on your list. 40-80 LHE, 5-10 NL go all the time. See you in December.

Been away for a while on biz... I see the PCG (HE) doesn't seem to get going much anymore... WTF?

I'm planning to come down this Sat. So, there would be some dead money in the game, if we can get it started

That's going to happen from time to time, espescially on extra busy days...
cause no matter what, only one microphone can be used at any given time,
and only one type of game can be filled at one time...

Often a seat will LOOK open, but it's really NOT open...
You may want to alert the floorperson, just to make sure that they know there's an empty seat...

I'm also willing to play short for at least an hour or so (then if the games not going I'll give up).

For sure. I may play the 500k satellite Saturday at 11, so depending on how that goes, I'll join the PCG. I'll be in town Saturday-Thursday, so I hope to get some PCG hold'em in.

damn 2:30 hr wait for a 1-2 table yesterday, had to go back to the dreadful Trop. Played the softest game of hold-em all year and still made less than i usually do at Borgate. Hate the Trop.
