All over the place!
The only problem with those $10 min tables is that they are 8 decks, H17 but they are around during the week. There are even $5 minimum tables in a few places!
Borgata- Has $10-15 min. tables during the week, during the day but only a few. Good luck on even getting a seat at these very few, very packed tables. Most of their tables are $25 min.
Trump Marina-has $5 and $10 min tables during the weekdays.
Wild West Casino- has $5 and $10 min during the week but have adopted strange hours in which they close the table games from 3 or 4 AM until 11AM or noon or something like that.
Claridge- always has $10 games during the week.
Taj Mahal- has some very packed $5-10 min. games during the weekdays.
Tropicana-has $5-10 min tables during the weekday, early in the day
The problem with almost all of these is the 8 decks, H17 situation which gives the casino an added advantage of .26% right off the top of the shoe! I THINK (but I'm not totally sure) that Tropicana and Borgata use 6 decks and stay soft 17 on their low limit games though I'm not positive because I don't normally play these games. All the Harrah's owned places, Taj Mahal and Trump Marina all use the 8 decks and H17 for a fact.
Should you get down AC way during the week look me up! I will likely be "foraging for chips" someplace there!

Trop
Ok Trop it will be! We are headed down Saturday afternoon evening, the teens are going to the Jesse McCartney contest. It gives me exactly 2.5 hours to play!
I will let you know when we go on a weekday, the first week in March!
Thanks for all the info. Your right, that hitting on Soft 17 hit me a few times at Ballys. I even saw it makes a big difference in the game.

Don't forget the one $5 table at Borgata
It's impossible to get a seat there but it exists. I've always been able to get a seat at the $10 table within 10 mins in the early afternoon and it offers the best odds out of all the places he listed unless the Trop offers 4 deck $10 tables. Forget about wonging though. The only places where you'd be able to wong are the Harrah's properties with their bad rules. The other places are usually packed at the lower limit tables. Resorts also has $10 tables.
I'll be going down there this week.

Oh I sit down and wong. I do piss of every other player, but oh well it is my money. I have no problem doing this, I dont care if they all hate me!
Are you saying they won't let me wong while I sit? I start and play 2 hands then I sit and I wong until it goes positive. I go in and out shoe after shoe.
Am I OK doing that at Borgata? I do it at the 4 deck Trop tables no problem and of course at the Harrahs properties too!
Thanks for the advice!
We go Saturday night for a few hours and next weekend Sat/Sun too for my birthday!!
I am hoping to get down there mid March mid week!

Wonging
Yeah. There was time when it was pouring down rain and I had a room at Bally's so I decided to go check out WWW, not giving them my player's card and sat down and started wonging. It pissed the players off as you know, and eventually I was approached by the pitboss and told sir if you're not going to play, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave. (This was after I guess not having had a favorable count once during like 4 shoes.) Normally I'd never do this type of wonging as it's a dead giveaway that you're a counter but frankly I didn't care since if was at a Harrah's joint and I pretty much never play there.

I play at the Claridge $10 tables. They dont watch closely so when they come around I play a hand each time (not often) and yes, sometimes I play about 5-10 hands every other shoe, but I have seen the account go --22, YIKES. Sometimes I wonder how I walked away with money when I didnt know how to count!
