1.) Are the LHE games (20/40 and 40/80) always as good as they were this past weekend, or was this due to the Poker Open? If not, I will just find other games...

2.) Any comparisons of the 20/40 games at the Taj vs. Borg?

3.) I have looked at some of Stan's posts, but would still appreciate confirmation that the 20-40 actually goes on the week nights? Any difference between the week nights and the weekends (much tighter on week nights, I imagine)?

1. The 20 and 40 are always very good to great on the weekends. I was not there this weekend (I usually am) so I cannot comment specifically, but I have a feeling the answer will be yes.

2. When the Taj gets the game going I'd say its better, but its not by a large margin and the Taj poker room is such a dump and only going further downhill. Combine that with how awesome the staff and comps are for the mid limit players at the Borgata and I don't think the Taj should even be an option.

3. Yes, the 20 goes almost around the clock. It may get short or break at like 4 am (and start back up at 10-11), but if you want to play 20 you can expect the game to be going at all times. During the day on weekdays the game can become a regfest with mostly quality players, but in my experience at night time even on weekdays the game is always worth playing even though it may not be as good as the weekend.

bph7: Thank you for your insights! Sometimes it is hard to get such good, quality information because, obviously, the only people qualified to provide it are the players in the game (whom, of course, I will likely play against). Everything you wrote is in keeping with my experience at the B. last weekend.

I was struck, too, that several of the reg's from the 20 game from the time I was a regular at the B. (back when the room was in the basement) were playing the 20 game at the Taj this past weekend. I got a head's up to play over there on Sunday night, and I assure you that it was a great game... Thus, my inquiry for a comparison of the games. I suspected even as I played on Sunday, however, that there was something unusual about the 20 game at the Taj this past weekend, and it was later confirmed for me that the game was built on two guest donks + me (though I was 3+ racks winner on the game--hehe--as only two of the people at the table remembered me from "back in the day," and each was nice enough not to rat me to the rest of the table ).

Anyway, I look forward to playing with you. I will be the guy wearing the Saints hat whenever I make it up there next. In the meantime, good luck, and, again, thank you.

There are some excellent poker rooms that have opened in the region over the course of the last year, but only the Borgata and Atlantic City can claim to be a destination.

It doesn’t matter what poker venue that you compare this room, including the Las Vegas Bellagio, Aria or Venetian. The Borgata is a first class poker experience and is easily, one the best rooms in the world.
