Played 12 hours on Saturday(7/6) at 1/3 and parked in the parking garage. Was sat immediately by the floor no wait. Drink service was spot on all day. Cash out at the cage was about a 10 minute wait. Parking voucher from floor and was out of the garage and on RT. 1 headed north in about 10 minutes. Good action, cant say anything negative about the place.

What a scumbag!

I made a mistake the other night at 2/5... I had AKd on a board of 10-J-2-Q-Q The guy made a 200 river bet into a 450 pot. I thought I had less but I had a dirty black (100) in my stack of reds... So it ended up being an accidental raise to 275 or so which I would NEVER do... The guy said "Its up to you" I gave him my money... Why? It was my mistake, you should always be aware of your chips etc...

If Player A had already folded, I don't get how anything he had done afterwards could constitute action. I was under the impression that folding supersedes any action that follows it.

If the bet was 200, and you put out 275, wouldn't that be a call? I thought you had to put out 50% more than the bet to indicate a raise, so if you had put out 300, then you would've been obligated to put out an extra 100 to meet the minimum raise to 400.

$275 was all his chips.

It is supposed to be angle prevention, I think. ie: Two player team, player raises, team member 1 3 bets, team member 2 throws his cards in then pushes chips forward to indicate huge raise. Original raiser folds, team takes down the pot with a "raise" that was never a raise.

I still don't agree with it, because in that scenario the team still wins since the original raiser is folding anyways, so the chips are just being sent to a different member of the team or the forced raise is just being shipped to the first team member. I doubt you'd see a floor rule it this way unless they already suspect collusion and somebody put up a stink.

Unless that's all your chips, then you're all in.

Lol I never seen those in the casino.
I played 5/10 o8 with a kill that made it 10/20 and these chips would have been nuts.
Never saw them.
Instead with all played with red and greens and huge stacks

The player bet 200$ and I announced, "Wow, you must have a set of deuces. I can't fold here." and I slid my stack in thinking it was less than 200$ (I thought it was ~175-ish). The guy had a lot more behind and I ended up having a black chip in my red stacks. He knew I was just calling but it was my mistake so I gave him the chips. He said "Its up to you". No big deal.

He had Q10 if your curious. Board 10 J 2 Turn Q River Q

I’ve only seen $10 chips once so far. Someone had brought them to a 1/3 table (and had left before I sat). Another player had mentioned he thought the player had mentioned playing blackjack beforehand and that the chips were from there.

10/20 NL greens don't play and most of the chips at the table are the blue $10 chips. Only other place I've seen so many $10 chips at a NL game is at the Bellagio. Takes some time adjusting to it.

Also the yellow $20 chips were used at the 10/20 game on opening day, but haven't seen them used since.

I used to play at the Tropicana in AC and they had a pink chip game, 7.50 -15.00 limit

Was a great game because you could bet 30 after the turn if I'm not mistaken.

Made those prevalent river rats pay through the nose for their fishing licenses.

Aside from pushing stacks into the betting area and not recognizing a dirty stack there is the ole conversationalist who is discussing a previous pot while saying the phrase “All in” as part of his story while he has cards and the action is approaching them or on them. It would suck if the novice player was penalized for not knowing a certain rule but as you say, it is ultimately the players responsibility to know and abide by the rules.

Regarding the cage, there are other cages outside of the poker room if the line is long. Several players go down the escalator, across the floor, and up into the high limit room which has multiple cages. Rarely ever much of a line.

Mohegan uses their pink chips for 7.50 -15.00 HORSE. I assume at Encore they're only used at table games.

When does the 4/8 O8 half kill usually run? Has the 20/40 O8 been going at all?

No, at Foxwoods. We used to have a regular game years back that ran on weekends all the time. Then they added high hands so no one would play Omaha anymore at least not as often.
We have 4/8 o8 with a half kill at encore. Almost same thing and good game

Haven’t seen the 20/40 but I’m not there all the time.
The 4/8 is on every night I have gone. Usually a line wait too.
Last time I waited 3 hours to play it but it didn’t matter since I played 1/3 while I waited. I was happy to see it healthy without my help
