Re: Mohegan Sun (Uncasville, CT)

ok I'm dying to know & haven't figured it out on my own: where is the best place to park to be close to the poker room?! I always wind up circling around to the back hotel entrance, valet parking, and then walking a mile. There's gotta be a better way.

The riverview garage is where I usually park for the poker room. If you want valet, the sky valet is just a little closer.

Sky Valet as John just mentioned is closest. If you want to self park, park in Riverview Garage. When you pull in, go all the way to the right. (There are two sets of stairs/elevators)

Re: Mohegan Sun (Uncasville, CT)

Seems to be a ton of regs who play 2/5. Would seem that the kids winning there would just increase their hourly if they started 5/10 games.

Surprised some of the FW 5/10 guys don't come over to play. 4 bucks an hour comps and a nicer room IMO.

Had the pleasure of being stacked for around 150 bbs when I flopped a set of Jacks Thursday night vs. a set of Aces by an aggressive reg. kid with a shaved head who opened in the HJ.

Run awesome at blackjack and sh** at poker there.

Being a 5/10+ NL regular, I can speak about this topic.

It is a nicer room, but Foxwoods also offers its own perks that the 5/10 crowd finds very attractive:

--There is almost always at least 1 game going on, and this implicit guarantee is important to us.
--There is a firmly-established player base at Foxwoods that is loyal to the casino, and the player base is competitive and friendly to newcomers. Most of the regulars at MS who play 2/5 have no desire to play 5/10, often stating a lack of bankroll or a lack of success at this stake; it really does play differently than 2/5.
--Foxwoods offers its loyal black card holders 4 points per hour to match Mohegan.
--Foxwoods also gives its 5/10 players 2 comp rooms per week, which really eases the stress of driving down every day for people like me who live over an hour away.

EDIT: A nitpick, but MS has its safe deposit boxes in PLAIN SIGHT, which is a MAJOR turn-off for people who store large amounts of cash. I have had people leer at my bankroll and actually comment about how much money I have...it is very unnerving. At Foxwoods, the room is lockable and private.

If anything, we try to encourage those 2/5 players there who are likely ready to move up to come on over and to test our waters .

Re: Mohegan Sun (Uncasville, CT)

Anyone know if the 2/5 game is lame during morning/early afternoon still? I used to play there a lot. I haven't been in about six months. Thanks

Pat, do Foxwoods regs get special rates for Friday or Saturday nights? I assume you're never getting a weekend room for free...

And is MGM an option for the 2 free rooms a week?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "lame", but here's my 2 cents.

I was there during that period on Friday September 30th, and the first 2-5 table was being dealt by 8AM, with a second added later in the morning and both of them running into the afternoon. I don't play there much, but when I do it's usually on weekdays during daylight hours, and that's the earliest I saw 2-5 running, but I've also almost never not seen a table before noon. Regardless of the specific weekday or the time of year, once weekday 2-5 tables are filled, you can count on at least 50% regs at each one.
