I was probably 3rd in chips with 17 left when the deal was made. I should have said no to the deal (although I only had about 17 BB's). It was getting late so the deal made the tourney end quicker. Not the smartest move on my part, but I'm fine with my decision

Ran the numbers (because I'm always interested in the ICM math) and it's really only the top three that gave up equity - and not nearly as much as I thought, either. The calculator doesn't take into account the location of the button relative to the short stacks and the fact that we were on two tables with one table having fairly equal stacks and the other having most of the short stacks.

Average stack with 14 left (bubble) was 10.5BB. 17BB was a monster stack.

No complaints about the deal and it gave me an opportunity to work another math problem which, in the long run, can't hurt.

Was surprised that the TD wouldn't rework the prize pool to save the trouble of collecting and distributing cash. But it worked out so no harm I guess.

What table were you on? I was table 1 seat 5, I think

And rethinking the math, on the bubble, I had 14 BB's

I can only imagine how slow going the tournament was on the bubble prior to the deal. Thanks again for the details, hope I'm able build up a 10BB stack on Sunday

Any idea where each of these will be located? I would imagine 1 or 2 will go in the unused space outside Rainmaker Garage where Stadium and the Rewards store used to be. They'll also need to put something in the closed off half of Rainmaker casino to help generate traffic over there.

The press release said the Garage Bar and Grill will be in the Rainmaker area and the other three will be around Grand Pequot.

Thanks for that link
Have to admit those are solid adds and at least on paper great options for reward dollars

Sorry, it might not have been in the press release, but it is reported here:

Did anyone checkout the Al Pacino event that they had there last weekend? I'm curious as to how it was. He is not known for doing this, I know it was hosted by Joy Bayhar. That's all I know about it.

got a K hi straight flush for $1k yesterday at 4-8 with about 13 minutes on the clock, table next to mine had a couple guys friends with the guy next to me, and for some reason they thought he was the one with the high hand. So with 15 seconds on the clock they had their whole table let out a loud chair as if someone had hit the royal. They didn't mean to, but they got me pretty good.

A gaming store that opened at the Tanger Outlet recently may have what you're looking for.

Looking to play the $200k guarantee on 6/24 but the hotel rates are nuts right now. I called the front desk and they said to call back later in the week but the poker block is currently full. Has anyone had any success getting the poker rate once the block was already filled up?

If you don't have rooms locked up anywhere in the area that week you won't be able to find one at a reasonable price. Barrett-Jackson is hosting a Collector Car Auction at Mohegan Sun from Wed-Sat that week and rooms everywhere in the area have been either sold out or jacked up. It is expected to bring over 100,000 visitors to the area between consignors, bidders, fans, and sponsors.

When I was at Foxwoods last weekend, I had heard rumors that it would be held twice in July. I talked to a woman at the poker host call-in desk who told me that she thought that the dates would be July 11 and July 25, but I would not find anything in writing on this, either on the foxwoods website or the bravopokerlive website. So someone should verify this with the poker room.
