I feel that this place is as good as any to start up this thread. This will basically be a place where I hope FCPers will post where/when they will be in Atlantic City if they are interested in meeting up with other FCPers, post trip reports/cardroom reviews, or seeing if anyone wants to split a room. Going to be up there this weekend, arriving sometime mid-Saturday afternoon / early Saturday evening (anywhere from 4-6 PM). Not sure where I will be playing at, as I will likely be spending most of the time drinking with one of my friends who will be in town. Sunday however, I will be at the Borgata for essentially the entire afternoon and into the evening. Doubt I will be staying the night in town Sunday, but crazier things have happened. I will be playing 2/5 NL unless the games are exceptionally terrible, but its the weekend at the Borgata so I am sure I'll find a table to my liking. Probably be rocking a black Sevendust hat and a long sleeve collared shirt (its cold in there 24/7/365). If I'm not wearing my Sevendust hat, here's a picture:

Picture from the Borgata B Bar

It was taken at the B Bar at the Borgata maybe 6 months ago, I might even wear that collared shirt. Feel free to say hello. My first name is Chris.

I should be taking several more trips to AC this month due to my friends and I having a collection of free rooms/room discounts that we need to use up by the end of the month, I will post dates as I have them.

I'm new here, but I'll help you get this started. I'll be at Caesar's this afternoon playing in the 3 PM tournament. I'll be wearing a Villanova shirt.

Appreciate the help. Hopefully you fared well in the tournament. Might be up in Atlantic City later this week, possibly this weekend, but nothing set in stone yet.

I'm at the Borgata semi-frequently...around 2X month. Most recently I was there last Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday night. I wear comfortable clothes.

Looking like I will be in AC during the middle of next week (Tuesday & Wednesday, possibly Thursday too). No decisions made as to where I will play, though the Borgata is always a good bet. My friend mentioned to me that he thought Harrah's opened a new poker room recently, can anyone confirm this?

Haven't been there in awhile so it's entirely possible. The new Showboat poker room is pretty nice but the game selection is paltry.

I've heard Harrah's has upgraded their poker room somewhat recently, but I haven't been by to check it out.

I might be going down on Tuesday or Wednesday. Likely the Borgata this time.

I'll be in AC the weekend of the 8th. I'm visiting a friend in NJ the week prior and figured I'd go down there. Don't know anyone there, just going to play pretty much all weekend, but if anybody else is in the same boat and wants to split a room, I'm down.

I'll most likely be in A/C on Friday the 8th during the day through early evening depending on what time I can get myself out of bed to go play.

I'll probably be there by the afternoon on Friday playing either 1/2 or 2/5 NL at Borgata. Most likely be wearing a Chicago Bears visor or Notre Dame hat if you care to say hello.

Cool. If I'm there with my friends I will be playing 1/2NL and having a lot of fun isolating them. If I am there by myself I will either be playing 2/5NL or 5/10NL and not having as much fun. Nike Poker hat and since it's always cold as shit in there, a grey hooded sweatshirt most likely.

How did the game at The Showboat go?

I moved to a really good table shortly after you left and got up 700 when my friends of friends showed up....Not hot. At all. Very disappointing also that I said I would go out with them and had to leave the table.

Hilarious that your worst beat came away from the table apparently. We played at the Showboat for a short bit but the game ended up being extremely nitty, so I'm thinking my buddy lied earlier to me probably because he was bored. Then he got a text from another friend of ours that we should come by the Taj rather quickly to sit 10/20 stud with him which I did while my other buddy railed us. That worked out quite well for all parties and was easily the best situation of the night. I got home around 2am or so and crashed.

Borgata was fun(ny). The fat guy to my right smooth calling the river vs an obv. flush with a boat. How on earth you got action on that AQhh hand right before I left with that board was beyond me. I never get that action at that limit despite my best efforts early to showdown crap starting hands, get caught bluffing at a few extremely small pots and making sure the spectacle I make at that pot was enough for people to notice and congratulate the $20 winner for making a great call. They still later on always seem to have ace high when I flop a set and are never heroes. That table was so tight I was falling asleep. Luckily the Showboat has awesome coffee. gg.
