Having a Good Time in Atlantic City...
Drove up to Atlantic City on Sunday for a few days of poker. I'm really trying to get my game plan together for the Foxwood trip. The plan is to play as many tournaments as I can while here.
Sunday night, I hit the poker room at The Happy Place (aka The Borgata). My plan is to win enough cash to pay my Buy-Ins for the tourneys. Come to find out The Borgata has cancelled its Monday tourney as has the Trop for spring break. So, it look like I'll be playing the 6:30pm Tourney at The Taj on Monday.
Anyway, I play cash games all night at The Borgata and do well. Well enough to win my buy-in for Monday. I run into Alex928gts and PDoggie in the poker room as well on this night. MD-Poker represent! I also run into Bob. Bob is the gentleman I split with a few months ago when I did well in The Borgata tourney. You may recall he is from Upper Marlboro.
Anyway, on Monday, I play the Taj tourney. $100+$20 Buy-In. 225 Players. 1st place is about $8600. I finished in 40th place. Not bad conswidering the cards I got on this night. I'm pleased with my play and feel very confident that a big one is on the way.
After I busted out of the tournament, I decided to take a mental break and went to see Robots at the new IMAX theater in The Quarters at The Trop. Let me just say, The Borgata has forced all the casinos on A.C. to step up there game. The Trop is the only one to even come close to competing and they are doing a damn good job.
Tuesday, Morning, I jump in the Borgata Tournament. $40+$10 Buy-In for T1000 in chips and $40 Rebuys and a $40 Add-on of T2000 in chips at the end of Level 3. Well, I didnt need to do a buy-In since I ran my chip stack up to T3000 at the end of the Re-Buy level. I added-on to give me a stack of T5000. I was feelig good til this I had one bad hand which sent me into a dive and I never recovered. The board paired on the River in one hand and A guy went all-in on me after I lead the betting all the way to the river. I'm pretty sure he caught a set when the board paired. I folded and lost a good deal of my checkers in that hand. I stole the antes and blinds a few hands but was forced to go all-in later on with AJ and I was up gainst 1010. THis guy catches a 10 on the river to take me out. As you can see, The 10s were after me.
I still had a good showing though. I'm ready for the evening tourney at The Borgata. I'll report back later.
