I don't think it's disingenuous. There are other strong options for sure and I've discussed them in other threads, but as of this writing FW still has the most games and game types available on a daily basis in New England and that's just a fact.

Chasers is cool, gives people another option. I don't like that it isn't 24 hours and many regs have told me you can get shut out of games on certain days if you don't show up by 4pm because it's only 16 tables. Not for me, but I'm glad there's another good option to play poker in New England.

Twin River sucks. Worst run poker room in the Northeast and the action imo doesn't make up for it. I live 10 min away and my business is literally down the street and I'm there once a month. I was there early on a ton, but I just couldn't take how the room was run. 3 years on it's still a trainwreck. Also some of the few good staff they had just left for Springfield. It does have a daily 5/10, but it's dried up significantly.

Mohegan is alright, but more of a weekend room. Their 5/10 is good but as you said it's really only weekends and as I said PLO is basically non-existant there. The daily action is meh alot of small buyin daily grinders going for promotions.

Foxwoods still has a ton of games daily and good comps. People like to complain about what we lost (guilty as charged ), but they still give you alot for just poker play compared to others. The game types are also second to none, which may not matter to everyone, but personally speaking I've played PLO, NL and limit all in the same day there and no other current Casino in New England can offer that kind of variety.

Most importantly, the games are still good imo. I do think that will change, but for right now FW has a good mix of games and at least recently the action was great because of all the tourneys. And they had 5/10 nl all weekend for the record. That's not normal, but neither is 7 plo at chasers and I think it's disingenuous of you to type that in caps like it's a normal occurence.

I'm aware FW is heading in the wrong direction. I just booked some trips to Springfield (comped but had to pay for resort fees ). I still for the time being am happy to call Foxwoods my base casino. Offers the most for what I'm looking for between comps, game types, amenities and action.

What's the deal with the BBJ and HH and rake? At 2/5NL for example, is it $1+$1 for the promos then $5 max rake for a total of $7 taken out of the pot?

It should be 5+1. They rake for bbj on non hh days and no bbj if it's a hh day. That's why the bbj jackpot growth is slow.

I have a friend who gets them a day earlier than I do, even though I was a higher ranking in FW’s system. And if you just received yours, then you are 3 days behind me. Somebody please crack their system!

Are you sure you're a higher ranking? I've got the system pretty well cracked, it's the only reason I still go there.

I was until October and he still received them before I did. We are now the same ranking even though I play more and always play long sessions. He also received Fridays at Fox while I only get them at TT

They also took away my choice rewards and I had to visit a host and ask why. She gave them back to me but she had no reason as to why I didn’t get them automatically

Then you're not the same ranking, he is higher. We can talk more outside the thread if you want.

I remember a bit back people were stating that foxwoods wasnt allowing people to use tablets/ipads to watch videos while playing. Is this still the case?

There was some email with a digital scratch ticket for how much you would get. The email had the available dates as Fridays. They haven't shown up on my app yet though.

I haven’t received any along with everyone I’ve asked. I saw a host in August about choice rewards specifically and she told me that I was getting them in September so I’m confused

Same. Not online though Have not confirmed if they’re really there. The scratch ticket is pretty sad though.

I see the Karting is open. I heard it was delayed because of the exhaust fumes. Looking forward to the first report on how it is.

Anyone want to guess how long the wait list for cash games will be on Sunday while the MoneyMaker Event is going on.
