Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Indeed. There was also a hand you had vs the fat guy and the Asian next to me was asking me my thoughts during the hand and I mumbled "I dunno but that kid seems like a solid player" to which the Asian replied so is he (pointing to the fat guy). I chuckled.That straight hand where you busted that guy who had 2 pair was hilarious as I knew my aces up had him crushed but it also was suxor that it made yr hand. Glad you got action at least from him though.Ya, I remember you looked displeased when you mucked. Link to post Share on other sites
7s7c 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Anyone have any clue on how many FCPers actually frequent AC on a semi-regular basis? Besides the people in this thread and Tremomey? Wouldn't mind arranging it, though it'll have it wait until after my move at the end of the month, and just trying to get an idea how much work it would be.2008 BORGATA POKER OPEN09-08-2008 to 09-25-2008 Link to post Share on other sites

ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah I noticed both of those series coming up, though at this point I'm not sure if I am going to be playing in which/any of the events. Played in two of the Borgata Summer Open's events, but I need to see what my financial situation will be after the move (see how much money I drop on furniture, other apartment supplies, etc.).

Can you take the train from Penn to the AC station right near the new Conv. Center? If not, they should remedy that, I imagine lots of NYers would choose that option. I can walk to the New Brunswick station and that makes NYC trips a breeze. They should return the favor. Link to post Share on other sites

ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just got approved for my future apartment in Pleasantville, NJ (about 5 minutes outside of AC right off the expressway)! Probably going to move up there in about two weeks. Hell yeah! Weekend tourists beware... I am about to become a regular. Link to post Share on other sites

ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm 90% sure I'm playing these and hopefully a few others if anyone is planning on being therrrr.I will likely be playing cash games there during those weekends, since I expect the Taj will be the place to be to play with the crowd from the USPC, and those buy-ins are too steep for me at the moment. I am moving up there the 13th, so I should be pretty well settled by the following weekend when you play that first event. Once it is closer to that weekend we can figure out a meeting and I will come by a sweat you occassionally while you are playing / you can stop by the cash table I am at and tell me how things are going during your breaks.

7s7c 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Okee Dokee. I am driving down with a buddy of mine who will be doing the same (playing cash games). Last year I stayed there a few nights as I figured it would help so I wasn't tired from driving down for an 11am start time. That didn't seem to work as I tended to wake up late and was even drowsier so I'm going with the early wake up and lots of coffee this year. gogogogogo. Link to post Share on other sites
ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Mountain Dew Amp FTW. Especially Overdrive (the cherry flavor), its amazing. Lets try not to get stabbed over a dispute at the card table outside the Taj, like that incident earlier this year. Was playing at the Borgata one afternoon when rumors started circulating table to table that somebody had been stabbed outside the Taj. Got home the next day and found out it was true.

I was playing at the Borgata when someone had mentioned that as well. I think it was the day after though, one of the dealers alluded to it. Right after that I think I saw the auto shuffler display "dealing cooler to seat 4 ha ha ha" Link to post Share on other sites

7s7c 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Safe to assume you were occupying seat 4?Favorite seat. Bobby Orr. I always joke with my buddy that those auto shufflers always print out what they are about to deal when the dealer pushes that button. You just can't see the text. "Dealing AA vs KK, ha ha ha", "Dealing Set over Set, ha ha ha", etc. They are alive IMO. I always try to be nice to the autoshuffler. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, treat the autoshufflers with care or else they will mess up consistently and slow the pace of them game down even further. Link to post Share on other sites
Vtlaxer09 4 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I might head up there on the 8th to play in a couple 500$ events in the Borgata Open... any suggestions on where to stay (cheap but not shitty) looking to spend no more than 120 a night. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
7s7c 0 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I need to win the HOSE event now to make up for missing my soon to be brother in law's bachelor party in NYC. Has to have it on the 19th obv. ghey. Could prolly do both but prolly won't feel like it, I'll prolly just play ring if I bust early. gg. Link to post Share on other sites
ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted September 13, 2008 Author Share Posted September 13, 2008 So I am not going to be up there next weekend. I got a phone call yesterday from my new apartment complex in Absecon and they said that the water heater in the apartment above me blew up and it messed up my place I was going to move into today. It isn't going to be ready for another 2 weeks. Needless to say, I am on life *ucking tilt. Link to post Share on other sites
