lolz.

A bit of personal preference falls into the fray..

As a poker player, I've gone to the 'woods with buddies most of the time, and most aren't poker players; rather, they tend to dink around in the table games and slots.. and I just don't understand it.

As a poker player, you tend to scoff at the thought of gambling aka playing table games. wasting BBs on three-card standup stud or betting on red just seems like a waste, considering most of us have an edge against actual players..

So for the guy misappropriating four-card with real games, there it is.

Ditto.

I'll be back Friday and/or Saturday. I was supposed to meet up with boxedin but my poker pal went busto early and made the night GG. Anyone else going up for friday/saturday that wants to hit up the Atrium for pregame, re-post, reply, or PM.

The Black card is checked monthly, but once you get it it's good for a year, right?

What about Platinum? I was told they're checking every 3 months, how long is it good for once you get it? Do you earn double points at poker like with the Black card?

The Platinum and Diamond cards are good for 6 months. If you have one of those cards, you get 10% (Platinum) or 15% (Diamond) off purchases in the Dream Rewards Gallery, excluding Gift Cards, Apple products, and discounted/sale items.

FYP

was thinking about buyin a ipod at the store upstairs its liek 240 but i herad that they make you spend liek an additional 70$ if ur using your dream card points for the purchase is this so ?

Supposedly, they are forcing you to purchase a some sort of a plan w/ it.

yea thats what someone posted on here somewere a week back or so. some kinda insurance policy or so.. sucks but idk. i want one for that price have over 200 on my card any suggestions? find someone to buy points of the card? anyone ever do this?

Which Cardroom is better Mohegan or Foxwoods.. Action? Seats? Comps? NLHE 2/5

Can't you get gas $? Imo, get the gas cards (obv you have use for them), and buy an iPod with real money.

idk i never really looked in there other than the ipods thats not a bad idea tho thanks

It depends, Foxwoods has better chairs, about the same, it depends.

$1.50 / hr @ 1/2NL is correct; double points ($3/hr) if you have a "black card" (75 days and 500 hours played within 6 months).
It used to be $1/hour but FW increased this to $1.50 last summer when they put in the Bravo computer system to track players at the tables (also roughly when Mohegan opened its poker room).

75 days and 500 hours within one year.. not 6 months

You're right; it's within a year for Black card , sorry. (I was thinking of Platinum, which is 2500 points in 6 months)>

So there's been some talk of 10/20 limit being dead at FW. Is this really the case? How are tables on WEEKDAYS? I'm thinking about going next week Monday-Friday.

I was there over MLK day in January (that weekend, left tuesday). There was a snowstorm, so Friday was fine, but the rest of the weekend there was only usually 1 or two games going. It's just hard to tell because even though it was a holiday, there was a huge snowstorm, so that probably kept people at home.

Anyway, what's the word on 10/20 limit, and 5/10 kill?

And I'll just go ahead and assume that you do not get credit for playing on 2 days if I go Friday night and play past midnight into Saturday?

What time if the day does the *new day* actually count?

are there satellites for some 10k event there next week?

Apple products are actually one of the best deals in the store as they are priced the same as the outside world. Yes, you do have to buy the warranty plan with the newer iPods, but that is beneficial. It covers your iPod for up to 2 years. I think it's 39 points for the Nano's warranty and 59 points for the Classic's warranty.

The gas cards are all right (although the store has been out of them for over 1/5 months) but they are marked up. A $50 card is 87.5 points. So you're paying 37.5 points more for a gas card and getting nothing for it, or paying 39/59 points more for the iPod's warranty but getting 2 years of coverage for your product. The iPod seems like a better deal to me. If you're short on points, you can pay the difference in cash at the ratio of 1 point = $1.

I think during 2008 a lot of players lost and had to drop down. I got this by looking at familiar faces in 4/8 and 5/10.

I easily played 500 hours and didn't get platinum too. I think they only give X amount at a time.

Your lucky if you get 50 cents an hour..They are still manually inputting the data from bravo to our accounts. I played 500 hours and got a total of 166 pts. My New Years resolution was to come back to FW on principle alone.

I'm pretty sure the new day for black card credit starts at 6am, based on the below...

I do know that before the tabletop sign-in computers, every morning at 6am the computer signed everyone out, and the floors would go around to collect everyone's cards and sign them in for the new day. This helped prevent people from just leaving themselves signed in all the time to accrue points.

ohh the good 'ole days

I was there yesterday... There was two 5/10 games til around 7pm and the main game was still full at 12ish. The 10/20 had one game going with a couple of people on the list most of the night and it broke around 12ish...

There was also two 40/80 games and one 20/40....

Really? Thats crazy. Did you try approaching them about it? I played like 50-60 hours and only got 10 points on my card at Mohegan. The floor told me to go **** myself basically (even though they aknowledged they had a faulty comp system). I refuse to give them my business from hereon.
