Blackout at the Borgata.

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Finding the gym went just swimmingly. It was easy to find and I got myself a 3 month membership. I got a good workout in today, my first at the new gym, and made my way over to the Borgata for some poker. Those of you who were at the Borgata tonight (Friday night) probably [...]

Harrah’s AC

Friday, May 29th, 2009

The plan for the night was to come down and play at Borgata for awhile, before eventually retiring to my hotel room at Harrah’s AC. This is my first night staying at any Harrah’s property, and I don’t end up getting in until pretty late. Since I’m tired already, and since I rarely get a [...]

A Fresh Start (hopefully)

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Right next to the cage was exactly what I was looking for to start my “new” session. An action table. There was yelling, laughing, joking, alcohol, and a lot of money on the table, the perfect recipe for profitability imo. I quickly joined in and promoted the boisterous atmosphere, and also soon learned why the [...]

An uphill battle.

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

A robotic-voiced woman wakes me up with a phone call at the ungodly hour of 10:30 AM. Just as I’m preparing to tell her off for waking me up so early, I realize simultaneously that A) I ordered a wake-up call and B) it’s an automated message with no one on the other end. Being [...]

A loooooong Grind of a Friday at the Borg (part 2)

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Here is the promised second installment of my Poker Friday at the Borg. After Panda express I head back to the room and sit down. I put myself on the 1/2 plo interest list as well, hoping that the game will run later. After around 40 minutes of completely uneventful poker at my nl table, [...]

“A Looooooong Grind of a Friday at the Borg”

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

I’ve split my long Poker Friday at the Borg into two blog entries because it’s going to be rather long… I slept in until afternoon time, and after showering, hit the tables at around 2:30 pm. I was at a pretty boring and nitty table (a theme of today’s session) and dropped a little more [...]

“Stak against the Redskins.”

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Trip Report #2: “Stak against the Redskins.” The Borgata once again for my Memorial Day weekend poker excursion. I finally got to the room at 12:30 AM on May 22nd (I still consider it my Thursday night session) and was told there was open seating for 1/2. I picked the seat closest to the podium [...]

“The Encounter at the Mcdonald’s Drive-Thru”

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Trip Report #1—May 15. “The Encounter at the Mcdonald’s Drive-Thru” Right around 8:30 pm on this Friday night I arrive at Borgata. Borgata is definitely the classiest casino in AC, and it has a very upscale feel to it. The poker room is huge, always crowded, and nicely decorated. Also, it is always clean and [...]

Hey

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Welcome all. From now until August 18th, I will be updating this blog with a new trip report for every visit I make to Atlantic City. If you don’t care about me or what I play or any of that bull**** feel free to skip past this post and straight to the trip reports… I [...]
