I stand corrected then. It is legal/allowed.

Is such a player following a sound strategy? If not, you should be happy he is there.

If you are not comfortable playing too deep, then change tables or if you don't want to be too obvious, then pick up, go for a walk/etc. & come back & get on the list & buy in again for what you're comfortable with. Don't listen to the people who say this behavior is "annoying" or otherwise don't like it. Plenty of people do it for whatever reason. You shouldn't be worried about what other people might think. You should play within your own comfort zone.

I am happy when they are there! It is annoying when someone immediately switches tables for less right after they double up though.

If your really lazy do the following.

Valet your car at MGM, when you are ready to play poker call the valet and tell them to pull your car up (so your not waiting). Drive to Foxwoods, and Park in J lot, walk to poker room from your car. This takes no more than 5 min.

Pretty sure this takes more effort than just walking.

Yea it's not so bad plus a little exercise is good for your game. Most younger people can probably do it in under 10.

Whether it's 10 or 15 min it's an easy walk either way. It includes two escalators and a moving sidewalk. You also pass most restaurants along the way.

It's only about a 7min difference from staying at Pequot.

I can't see doing it in less then 10 mins unless its liek 4am and no ones there. There's alot of people that like to walk slow at Foxwoods and you will get caught behind them.

Played last night. Was surprised at how slow the room was. I think there were only 6 2/5 games and my table had empty seats most of the time I was there. Action was good though.
Didn't go anywhere else in the casino. Heard that a Pizzeria Regina location is going in. Anyone have any details?

Pizzaria Regina went in by the corner by Cedars. Where Carnegie Deli and Ben and Jerry's was. Also a fish place and a deli went in. Not sit down, just counters with tables located over by Cedar.

I thought is was expensive. $4.50 for a slice with one topping. They leave the pies under heat lamps for you to see, did not look appetizing more dried out when I walked by.

Deli sandwich's were around $11.00.

The fish place had a clam plate for about $16. I'd go for that if they were whole belly like you'd get at Kellys.

I don't get the price points if they are trying to get traffic in from the outlet malls once they open. (i think the food court reopened at MGM is also pricey) I wonder if the premium outlets they are opening are discount outlets like Kittery, Clinton Commons, or Wrentham, or Premium means higher priced stores like Newbury Street.
