Even Miss America has bailed out of AC
The three "optional" good rules in shoe games are :S17, RSA and LS. No point in traveling to play a game that doesn't have at least 2 of the 3. Many of the Strip stores have all 3. The pen is nothing heroic in either venue. New Jersey is the most densely populated state and the crowds at the tables in AC reflect that, making backcounting very impractical. Not to say that AC is unplayable, just that if you are traveling to play BJ there are a dozen better places to go, so why go there?
The two good things about AC are the lack of heat (which might make it even a better choice for a team or a really big player who is running out of places to play) and the presence of a lot of weak dealers who can be exploited. The AC BJ dealers look like the people rejected by the Salvation Army for bell ringers.

Mohegan dealers
They are shot too. This one dealer hit a hard 17 and busted and this old man said something and the floor superviser came and said my hand was a push and I flipped out because I had a few black chip on the table. I should have hit him but I was tired from playing all night at Foxwoods. I was up a couple thousand and went there on my way home and lost 3k. I am never going back unless I can st. How does their shuffle compare to Foxwoods? I heard a counter walked in with 3k and walked out with 300k? Could it have been a weak dealer?

You'll find that everywhere
Dealers who pay you when they shouldn't are all over this place. My last session at Mohegan I was paid on a push right in front of the supervisor and neither the dealer nor the supervisor noticed. Same thing happens at Foxwoods. Of the two, I'd say the Mohegan dealers are slightly weaker.

3 to 300
Is it possible that a counter walked in with 3 and left with 3 hundred? I guess but more likely these are the things that are told to dealers by management as reasons for tightening of a game. Sort of this way, "We now must cut two decks instead of one because a card counter or a team did such and such, and the SOB did not toke a cent!" Use could also be for adding CSM's, Mindplay etc. Just get the dealers on the side of paranoid management by developing a myth.
Or it could have happened.

A dealer at Foxwoods told me
That a guy walked in with $300 and walked out with $140,000. And that he wasn't counting and this poker player told me the same thing. The same dealer said that at Mohegan someone walked in with $3,000 and walked out with $300,000 which is crazy esp, if you try to cash out 10k at every window in the casino and go back a few times. Anyway before I forget, I was at Foxwoods one time in the stargazer room and I wasn't rated. I was down like 15k and the floor superviser or pit boss said I had to write my S.S # down because I bought in for more than 10 grand. Is this normal? What would you do give them the wrong number? The guy told me it's okay they already have me afterward. Do I have to tell me accountant? I lost money so...

The good thing about AC is that you can find $25 minimun 6 decks games compared to CT where the only $25 are at Nohegan where the pen sucks.
WELLLL, I dont know when you're going to the tables,unless you're going to Borgata, but, you can find $10 tables, and sometimes $5 tables during the week, and even at the Sands on the 4th floor on the weekends. Resorts has $10 6D, and SD tables on the weekends, as well as the Claridge. They usually have a few at Rowboat, but they are always packed with Shoebies....
