$10-20 at the Borgata and the Taj.

We had a great labor day weekend playing $10-20 at the Taj and the Borgata. We usually love the action at the Taj but on sunday it wasn't great. There weren't many fish at our table. It was all regulars that didn't play great but didn't play badly either. We both did well but decided to leave after a few hours. One interesting thing happened at the table. I don't think I have even seen this in a live game. A guy in the 8 seat flopped 4 sets within an hour! All 4 of them filled up on the turn. Crazy thing is he got action on all of them, being 2 times someone else had flopped a straight! Overall I would recommend playing the $5-10 and $10-20 games there on weekends being they are usually juicy! We decided to go over to the Borgata to play $10-20 over there. What a great choice! The games there was crazy. People were playing at our table who had never played live poker in a casino before. What do you mean by fixed limits, I can't go all in? LOL. Also the people that knew how to play were totally over agressive. They thought top pair with any kicker was the nuts everyhand! One hand I had 2 queens and raised pre-flop. We took the flop 3 handed and I bet out. Got called by one person on a ragged board. Think it was like 8-7-2 rainbow. A ten comes on the turn and I bet, the 7 seat raises me. This slows me down being he had been playing a lot of hands and could easily have a 9-j for the nut straight. A rag comes on the river and I check. He confidently bets, like he had the nuts. After some hesitation I make a crying call, at this point just to see what he has. He turns over 10-Q offsuit for a pair of tens with a queen kicker! I win a nice pot with my 2 queens. This type of play was common at our table. In another hand I gad 10-7o in the big blind and decide to defend my big-blind. We take the flop heads up, I flop 2 pairs tens and sevens. I check-raise the flop against the raiser in the 8 seat. I bet the turn and get called. On the river an ace comes, I bet and the 8 seat raises me. I make a crying call to be shown A-Q offsuit for a pair of aces. I win another nice pot. Things went even better for my wife. I will post some of the hands she was in later or tommorow. We had a room in the Borgata and it was great. Definetly the best rooms in AC are at the Borgata. It was a great, profitable trip for us. That's all for now. Good Luck at the tables. Tony
