Borgata or the Taj Mahal

To play at the Borgata or the Taj, that is the question? It used to be that the premier poker room in AC was at the Taj Mahal. Sure the Trop had a room but it just wasn’t the same. These days there is a new king in town, it’s the Borgata Poker Room. It’s new, spacious, and clean! When you order a beer they will actually give you a bottle! What a new concept, cough Vegas baby. Most of the limit games have moved over to the Borgata. On a recent Saturday they had 6-$10-20, 3-$20-40, and 3-$40-80 games going. I love playing at the Borgata but the sharks have followed the action. The games at the Taj are much softer. At the Taj you have many pit players coming over with black chips to give poker a try. Rarely do you see that at the Borgata. Also your food comps go so much further at the Borgata. There are so many more nice places to eat. They also have a food court right downstairs from the poker room. (The Taj has the crappy poker snack bar upstairs.) As for the Borgata babes, no other casino can compare. I think the measure there chests when hiring them. OK 34C or bigger you have a job . IMHO the Borgata is the place to play for an all around great time. If you only are going to play to make money the Taj wins hands down. Borgata 6-Sharks, 2-donkeys, 2-Average players in every game. Taj 2-Sharks, 8-donkeys,2-Average players. Good Luck at the tables.

Taj sounds like the better choice to make some money these days. Plus, you don't have to wait for a table to open up!

The Taj is a lot softer these days. The Borgata has taken care of their waiting problem. They have 85 tables now. Thanks for reading my BLOG Dr. I read yours all the time, it's the best! Tony

I have only played at the Showboat in AC. I like it but have nothing to compare it against. How does it hold up against the others?

John The showboat is very small with a limited table selection. It's a nice room but what do they have 18 tables? All the action is at the Borgata and the Taj. Showboat is like the rooms at Harrahs, Ceasers, and the Hilton. Their biggest limit games are $3-6 or $4-8. For no limit they have mostly $1-2 and a little $2-5 sometimes. Tony
