Depends on who is flooring at the time. Kinda not really.

Where some are incompetent, any major situation will get ruled correctly. If you don't like an immediate ruling you can call one of the supervisors who do all know the rules. You can always request to go over their head if it comes to that.

The problems lie in two things:

1. The ******** dealers. Solution: I go out of my way to move to a table with one of the better dealers at this point. It doesn't look like they care to fix the bad ones of fire ones who don't want fixing. When you get on a good dealers table though you get them for their entire shift due to the odd lack of rotations, which is nice.

2. A few bad low-management floor people that seem to focus more of cell phone use, head phones, and other pointless things, then actual poker. They put their attention in the wrong areas, and go way overboard. Solution: Get a good dealer who knows the game, and also protect your action/hand. I treat it like I do when I play with an angleshooter at the table.

Sucks that the player has to do a little extra work, but I love how loose and easy the play is. My win rate justifies that bit of inconvenience.

I still don't get not rotating dealers, even if they do pool their ips.

I don't seem to recall ITT issues about cell and headphone use. Examples please? (Even though I don't use either at the table.)

I just played here this week. The play was very passive and there were lots of LOL moments.

Guy has the nut flush and tosses his cards Maverick style into the air on top of the pot. Luckily for him the loser of the hand started to get up and walk away when Maverick flashed his hand. Later on Maverick limps in with kings with 3 callers in front of him, limps with AQ, etc. He had to be told like 4 times to just table his hand. He almost does the same thing on several different occasions but never as blatant as throwing the winning hand down on top of the muck...

Most hands had 6 limpers to the flop. If there was a preflop raise to 12-15 it usually got 4 callers. Good stuff. Sometimes in early position a guy would regularly raise to $40-50 preflop.

The WSOP was on TV and some guy at another table was literally yelling at the TV. Mizrachi was in a hand and the guy is yelling "YOU CAN"T call here, no way he calls"

have they started tournaments there yet? I can't find anything about their poker on the website.

I don't get the non rotating thing either, but use it to increase my hands per hour.

ITT issues? Not sure what that means (I'm prolly ******ed). But floor, dealers, and security yell at people all the time for hoods, two earphones in, cell phones even sitting on the table, and talking or texting on a phone while at a table.

I've even seen arguements over the fact a younger guy was on his ipod changing music or playing an app in between hands and was told he can't have it on the table. Ridiculous.

It is general more strict earlier in the day and during slower times.

The floor person Cis said later this month for tournaments they might have tournaments and they are adding 2 more tables. She said they were talking about having tournies on weeknights.

Okay there has been talk since July about tournies. And the move upstairs in October. I'll only believe it when I finally see it.

I wanted to head up this weekend but never made it. Any word on whats being spread lately? I like the twitter page for the Mohegan Sun - nice feature. Then again every room seems to be way ahead of HC.

I've been told not to text on my phone, even though other players are at the table doing exactly that.

They focus way too much on the little BS things and apply rules inconsistently.

The incident with the cell was not the first time I'd seen and experienced inconsistent enforcement of rules.

I like everything about Mohegan Sun, including the twitter page. They probably dropped the move upstairs idea because the players are dwindling. They have less and less tables filled. Which isn't a surprise when players really aren't taken care of, there is a 6 dollar rake and so much inconsistency. Go during Brian's Shift (our favorite floor person) Things run great during that shift, Usually late weeknights.

Very much agreed. I'd say the night shift seems to operate faster, smoother, and more consistant as a whole as well.

The only person earlier in the day worth a damn is Dominic, bald younger white guy, who is frequently in the room.

Was told today that sometime in December dealers will get to keep their own tips. Was also told that they have hired and are training a lot of new dealers, more then are needed right now. So maybe expansion......

They should consider training some of the existing dealers......

Made the mistake of giving this room another try. It's Friday night and they don't have enough dealers to man the tables! WTF? Last trip till you guys say they have vast improvement. Good luck with that. So sad could've been great

Any chance we can get a PLO game going this afternoon?

I heading over around 11am today. Would love to get a game going.

Expanding is pointless unless they learn how to run a poker room and act like they give a crap about their customers.

Amen brother

I played last night for about 2 hours and had the pleasure of meeting Brian (Viks). He confirmed that tournament chips are in house and 2 more tables are being added to the current room.
The entire room was full last night, but the wait for 1/2 was only 4 names when I arrived around 10. They were using the table computer system and did a good job of keeping my table at 9-10 players while I was there.
I hate the rake, hate that there is still no comp system but I do enjoy the ability to drive 15 minutes from my house and find a game 24/7.

I checked their website. No mention of any tournies yet. Did they give any possible start up date?

No firm date was given (or known?)

I'll be playing 1/2 today ~4pm-?. Anyone else playing this afternoon?

I talked to a regular earlier today. They said they heard beginning of December. They could use their website to get some info out. Just saying

Hearsay is just that.

Lol - yeah hearsay is just that, This thread is dying. So what is being spread lately at HP? I'm actually thinking of making the trip to Parx. They actually spread Omaha h/l.

The one 2/5 game they had going this afternoon was extremely juicy. There was about an hour there that the standard pre-flop raise was $50.

Searched the thread a bit but couldn't get a good idea for how regular 2/5 runs, will it be running tomorrow during the day?

Also, do they usually put a bunch of nfl games on or will it be the same game or two on all screens?

Thanks

There are about 10 or 12 TV's in the poker room and they change them upon request to any game. Last week my table had a TV changed to the Jets/Browns game upon request by our table (3 of us had money on it). They do have NFL ticket, so all is good.

2/5 runs pretty frequently as of lately. During the week, it usually starts up in early afternoon and runs till end of night. Higher volume days there are usually 2 of them, with one running until the late hours if not all night. Of course everyday is different and it varies based on who shows up. Some days, sadly, it doesn't take.
