Poker in NYC

so i ended up going to a 5/5 on friday with my friend, i was going to get some rest for a wedding saturday but my gf was just generally being a cunt so i decided to have my friend pick me up and go play.

a little background of the game, its a game i have never been to before but it was ALL asian (mostly philipean/koreans) who are semi recreational players composed of either fancy play asians that make fancy plays for no reason or degen gamblers.

raises were generally $20-25 preflop and there are players with like 10-15% 3bet preflops that would pop to like $70+ and half the time show their J10s or pocket 7's ect.

i started well up around $500 within the first 2 hours, then eventually got into a few drawy hands that missed, had to lay down a set on the river to an obv flush and got AA cracked by K10 pre. its ok tho i still walked out with almost $200.

il be going to a 1/3 at a different spot tonight who my freind swares its 1000x softer. i could really use the money at this point in my life.

in a game like this, im only playing my hand for value.

i have been getting tired of driving 2+ hours to play poker in another state. its frustrating to be in new york city and be surrounded by neighboring states where table gambling is legal.
i have linked up again with one of my old d-gen friends from childhood (we both got our poker starts in high school online) to get into some 'card clubs' around the city. there are 3 running games he explained to me, a saturday and sunday 5/5 and then a 1/3 on tuesdays. i think they have hourly charge to play but no rake.
i would play in the saturday one but im going to a fuckin wedding (second time my cousin is getting married in 5 years) out in long island an hour away. im taking my gf and my mother along aswell. should be ok. il certainly be drunk considering we have a room out there to stay.
hope to pick up a few hundo. gambowll

iv recently begun playing poker heavily again because of a sudden increase in time. im from queens NYC and have played sc1/sc2 for prob around 10 years. thats how i found out about this site. got my start online (like 99%) of the rest of us here, and im looking to see if anyone from here ever goes to the sands casino in bethlaham pennsylvania. i have gone the last 4 or 5 weeks in a row and i like the 60+ table setup and regular $200 deep stack tournaments.

does anyone on here go there?
atlantic city?
