The reason they don't have many if any limit games between 3/6 and 10/20 is because of 1/2 NL and 2/5 NL. Not having the right chip structures at the limit games has nothing to do with it IMO. There's just no interest. I think it's safe to assume if poker was as popular as it is now and the no limit games weren't around the room would be chock full of limit games between 3/6 & 10/20.

haha oh so true.

desi is the odd one i must say.. lol


any 3/6 regulars posting here?

Yes Taj OFFERS 5/10, but I was just there on a Saturday and the game did not run. The floor called the game over the PA around 3PM, so I got up from the game I was playing (5/10 stud), and went over to the table. Three people showed up and it didn't go. The rest of the day/night the list never got past four names.

yea it wasnt running last night either, with a board of 4.

I visited the Taj a few months ago (March) and they did not have the 5-10 game going. I remember when they would spread 3-4 tables of 5-10 limit.

It's funny, the last time I was there (Saturday - three weeks ago), they spread two 5/10 O8, four 5/10 7CS, three 10/20 7CS, & three 20/40 7CS games, but no 5/10 LHE game.

Hey, that's OK with me. It's not like I'm dying to play 5/10 LHE at Taj.
It's just another option, that's all.

IMO, the stud games (5/10 & 10/20) seem to be getting better in the last year or so. Anyone else notice this ?

The stud games have been very good for years, but recently some of the old guys have had more gamble in them. Mario plays the 5/10 game all the time and I think once he and the rest of the Saturday night regs recognize your face they are more inclined to give you action.

The first few times I played the 5/10 game, I felt like the older regs would be reluctant to play many pots since they didn't think I'd ever return to give any winnings back to them. This may sound dumb, but think about their train of thought and it makes sense.

Does 5-10nl still run. If so what days?

I haven't noticed it sicne last summer. A few weeks ago I did see a shorthanded 5/5 NL.

I played my first session at 20/40LHE this weekend, after regularly playing 10/20LHE. Wow what a good game. Won more than two racks in the game.

The last time I went to A.C. (December), the 20-40 Taj game was the best I've sat in in a while. Great action. Even better than most FW games. I went to the Borg, observed the game there and it was like night and day comparing the two. Recognized at least 3 probable 2+2ers, and a bunch of older nits. Didn't bother with the game and ended up playing 1-2 and 2-5 NL.

Yeah I don't know what it is about the Taj's 20/40 game, but I have always heard that it is a great game to play in. I have just never been able to take a shot until now. I will be taking plenty more shots at this level. Its just so funny how people burn through racks there like they are nothing.

Last summer I flew from Britain to Lima via JFK and couldn't resist stopping over and catching the bus with all those gambling pensioners from the Port Authority Terminal to the back entrance of the Taj. It was my first time in AC and I knew that I had to play at the Taj, having seen Rounders and all.

I also played the other casinos, but after the Taj, the Borgata just seemed too swanky and soulless, the other venues too gimmicky.

I love the grimy chips and the glass chandeliers of the Taj, the paper cups and the crappy carpet. It's a bit like an ageing hooker - cheap and homely and guaranteed to give you a good time.

And the NL1-2 games are donk paradise.

Hey, does anyone know the younger solid good asian guy who plays 10/20 and 20/40LHE here? He is probably almost 6 feet tall, wears a Mets hat and thick rimmed glasses. He's definite winning reg? Or are any of you him, we were sitting next to each other at the 20/40 game this past weekend. Just wondering because I mentioned an online forum (sans "2+2") and you/he seemed to know what I was talking about. Didn't want to elaborate at the table

He is not specifically a taj regular, he also plays at the borg. Solid player.

as for the taj, i can't stand it there, will only play there for select tournament or if hubby wants to play stud, but the borg is getting better with it as well. 30/60 stud runs consistently on the weekend and occasionally it is 20/40.

The cocktail waitresses are atrocious at the taj. 50+ yr old women who don't belong wearing the outfits they are wearing and take an hour to bring drinks.

I no longer feel safe walking from the parking garage at the taj, i valet every time i go.

MOST of the great dealers at the taj, took offers to go to the borg.

The 20/40 game is FAMED for it's action at the taj, however it ONLY occurs on the weekends.... if compared to the borg, the 20 LHE during the week is better at the borg, the 20 LHE is better at the taj on the weekends.

All casinos are dirty, all casino chips are disgusting, however the ambiance and service of the borg cannot be matched.

ALL 1/2 NL games are donk paradise in AC....

Yeah I have seen him at the Borgata also. Just wondering if he posts here

hes a very solid player, was playing 3/6 last night with me lol. he didnt stay very long though, was probably waiting for a seat on another game


i had a sick night last night, had aces 7 times, kings 3 times, and queens 3 times. won 11 of those 13 hands. was up quite a bit, then hit a run of bad luck.. i capped it preflop with QQ, in the SB. flop comes 3Q7. i bet out, big blind calls, originally raiser, raises. i call, BB calls. turn is J. i check, BB checks, raiser bets. I raise, BB calls, raiser calls. river is A. i bet, BB calls, raiser folds.

BB rolls over the beautiful K10 for broadway.

yay for the fish!

so i was up 300 at one point, and after 9 hours of play i ended down 20 bucks

I can attest to this last night. I played 5/10 stud for a while yesterday with Mario (sat next to him, table 17) & the regulars. They've had plenty of gamble in them lately, and the 10/20 games are looser as well. One of the 5/10 regulars (Bill from Philly) had a few too many Drambuies, and personally donated about $250 to me. I know that they recognize me because I'm usually the youngest guy playing (I'm 35 y/o).

BTW, there were LOTS of stud games yesterday at Taj. At one point there were five 5/10 games going, three 10/20, three 20/40, and two 40/80.

Also, when I got there around 2PM, they opened up a second 5/10 O8 game.
I immediately went to the cage, got chips and sat down.
The game was going real good until the floor told us that it was a must-move. I had to go to the main game after about a half hour. I wasn't too happy because there were two total clueless fish in the must-move game. One guy asked if it was 5/10 hold 'em, and "What's hi-lo ?". Another younger guy sat down and said, "I usually play NL, how much can you bet, and do you have to use two hole cards ?". The main game was not nearly as good. I think I was there 20 minutes or so before I ended up playing stud.

Good crowd yesterday, maybe because of the Preakness ? I didn't notice too many empty tables.

BBJ hit at a 2/5 game friday 2222 vs A2345 went runner runner 22 to catch it, was 8 regs at the table the one guy that was at the table when it hit, said if it wasn't regs in the game it would have never hit, the money got all in on the turn and the 2h hit on the river to hit the BBJ.

Why wouldn't the BBJ have hit if it weren't regulars in the game?

[ ] Makes sense

Player A has 2 black deuces.
Player B has 45 hearts.

Flop comes Ah 3h x.

Turn is the 2s
River is the 2h.

Player A has quad deuces.
Player B has a 5 high straight flush in hearts. And it came running deuces to get there. Ez game.

This isn't the way it happened. Player B flopped a flush, and another player flopped a higher flush. Both of them checked the made flush on the flop!
Not sure why someone said regulars wouldn't have hit it, but good players probably wouldn't have.
