I was at the 5/10 last night. I was hoping for an influx of LHE players because of the $400 LHE tourney...there was last year, and the years before, but not last night. We were barely able to sustain one 5/10 table. Mostly regs too. I believe there was one 10/20, and a second was called, but I am not sure it went. Plenty of 20/40, and NL games though, as is the state of FW these days. You couldn't even get a parking spot in J lot during the tourney in prior years, though it is early in the classic.

Any pro's around for the prelims ?

Actually the WPT effect is more pronounced in November than in March. And probably more in nl that in limit. I bet you will still see a lot of 20-40 action Mr R, as the events get bigger.

Meanwhile, 9 people @ 10 will still be on a first name basis.

Guys, a busy tournament weekend is probably not the best time for them to run a 2/4 HORSE for us. Maybe make it slightly higher so some of the tourists will want to play.

Was there anyone around late Monday night that knows the cause of the 30 minute cluster*** at one of the tables near the host desk? From what I heard, a player left the table and his chip stack for extended amount of time, some random guy sat down at his seat, added his own chips to the existing chips sitting on the table, and shoved all in. The first guy came back and then it was a free-for-all with spectators, security, the floor, God, and everyone crowded around the table for a good half hour. Anybody got any dirt on exactly what went down?

Wed nite they had a 8-16 horse running one 10-20 game that was still going strong when I left at midnite, looked like lots of 20-40 too.

there was also 8/16 horse and 1/2 PLO8 which is a suckers game IMO but it was running. there was 4-5 20/40 tables 40/80 LH.

games where pretty good, playerd 1/2 till about 1 AM last night, cashed out a whopping +22 bucks ! Reedcusa I think I saw you over near the windows/stairs didnt say hi though you were in a hand.

Played in the 300 Shootout, u guys probably all seen me around, I was wearing a Celtics Garnett Shirt with a Celtics hat dark black Oakley's, finished just in the money, wouldn't have gotten there if it wasn't for rivering Quads after getting my money in with bottom set, against middle set...Cooler...played Aggresive with a short stack on the bubble, but couldn't get a double up...then I dwindled down after the bubble and finished 117 out of 1341..can't get down there til next Tuesday because of Money issues.

Thanks for the November info.

The action Tuesday night was amazing. I couldn't leave the table. I lost one hand with AKo against 3 opponents when I bet the K85r flop and lost to the lone calling Q3 when a Q and then a 3 hit. The tragedy was that the guy won so much (he had cashed ten racks off the table before I got there and put the money in his pocket assuring everybody he would take it out as needed, then went to his pocket in the middle of a hand some hours later and caused a whole bruhaha because by that time the dealer no longer was being apprised of the situation though pretty much every player told him it was OK after the fact and why) that he moved to the 40/80 table at about 2am...

I will be back on Friday/Saturday. I'll look for the one 10/20 table to say hello. Actually on Monday I think there were at least two 10/20 tables so I briefly felt encouraged.

Wed evening I was in 10-20 seat 1 from 6pm till midnite a few regs but did not ask if anyone posts here took 2 1/2 racks to cage wish I could stay longer but I had a long ride home, be back sun morning for a short session.

Very early in the morning. Two main games, one healthy with eight players, one sick with only four players.

The sickos could all agree to draw cards to fill the two open spots. But one sicko is stuck and doesn't want to get shut out of the action even though he has to leave soon (by his own admission). So no draw. Another sicko decides he doesn't want to play short anymore and makes im-quitting-and-going-to-bed sounds, sits out, but never picks up.

Game plays three handed for a while until stuck sicko realizes that quitting sicko isn't really quitting. We then learn from the floor that when a sick table has less than 5, nobody's forced to play short and sitting out does not affect one's ability to draw to get into the healthy game. Stuck sicko decides he doesn't want to play short anymore, either, but still refuses to draw. Third sicko decides he won't play me hu.

Now I'm at this table with two racks of red but that's way more than any of the other sickos. I want to play hands at the sick table, but I can't. I want to join the healthy game with chips galore and play hands there, but I can't because stuck sicko *still* won't draw. One player who won't play and won't draw keeps me out of action. WTF!!!! Stupid stupid rules.

I do the only reasonable thing. I take my chips and leave. As I hit the door with cash in pocket, those three are still sitting and waiting for someone to blink.

What rule did floor say that they would not move two from must move to fill empty seats at main table???

My friend was there at the table and that's exactly what went down. Apparently the guy who sat down and played the other guys chips was really drunk. They killed the hand, went to the cameras, and finally gave the the guy all his money. Not sure what happened to the drunk dude. Apparently he maintained the entire time that they were his chips.

The rules are to protect the fish who says "I won't play short but I am content to sit and wait for a seat in the main game". In fact that's usually me if I am up against good short players but the main game looks good. Sometimes I'll volunteer to go to the bottom of the broken game list and go play 1/2.

anyone wanna try to get 1/2 PLO going on sunday?

Going down tomorrow night, love the cash games during WPT visits. Remember last year, some older guy I played with on weekends was several tables over and remember looking up, seeing the guy surrounded by different people, people looking at him.

The dude was white as a ghost, everybody checking on him, something wrong with the guy. People motioning for him to leave the table, he's not going anywhere. We figured the guy's having some heart "event" but he ain't moving, shooing everyone away.

Paramedics show up, they talk to him, try to take his pulse, dude's not having any of it. They leave, wheel the stretcher back out the door, he ain't on it.

More theatrics, then things calm down, we look over again, dude's still playing, all the commotion's over.

Floor came by and said the old guy said he was feeling dizzy, nauseous, floor said they tried to get him to the hospital but the guy refused because he was on a good run, had too much money on the table (1/2 table).

Unbelievable, got to love poker players. I've seen the old guy there since, I'm mostly an early Sunday morning player, so he wasn't drawing dead.

i understand "content to wait" if there are no seats in the healthy game. but if there are open seats and all sick game players wont play short (or all but one) then there has to be a draw. not playing (gambling) and not drawing for open seats (gambling) to sit and wait at the whim of one player is an undefendable result.

Was I there for this? I remember one of my tables going 4 handed then 3 handed while there was a near full game going but I do not recall anybody openly advocating a draw.

Also, does anyone know of a cheap motel near Foxwoods/Mohegan?

anyone notice the guy who made what I would call it a Flag? or more like a fishing pole out of hundreds in a 2/5 game near the cage wendsday night?

The hilltop is not too expensive. And there is one called The Stardust down the road on route 2. I'm not kidding, FW really has a Stardust. It's beyond the rotary on the road to RI.

I was at a table right near the security desk were they took that dude aside. Nothing they could say could convince this poor bastard that that wasn't his seat or chips. It reminds me of a time a friend of mine left to eat leaving about $300 on the table. Another friend, whom was quite drunk decided to sit down at his seat and play his chips. He got it up to like $850 before my friend got back. When the original player came back, he went off on our friend who sat down. As a result, he had to return $550 that are other friend won. He shoulda just kept his mouth shut. LMAO How they determined where the $550 went too , I have no idea.

I might be interested. I'll be down a little after 8pm Sunday. I started an interest list for 2/4 horse but yeah that didnt work out too well last night.

Also it was nice meeting you kirkdiese and reed.

The Cedar Park Inn is pretty cheap, I'm staying there this sunday for $69 at a "suite". Its alright, about a 5 minute drive from Foxwoods. They have complimentary limo service too.

did you get any interest at all?, i would have played but somehow i missed the announcement. thought briefly about the 8/16 horse but the dealer told me it was a nitfest.

I didnt get any interest. I added 3-4 of my friends initials on the list to try to get it running in case someone added their name. I did not hear it announced that they got it started. All of my friends who were initially going to play it decided to play the 40/80 game or the 8/16 horse instead. Oh well, I ended up having a solid night at 1/2 instead so I'll take that.

I don't think they announced there was a list of interest on the intercom for 2/4 HORSE, so thats probably why it didn't get off the ground. Maybe if PLO doesnt happen sunday I'll start one for 2/4 HORSE again. Are you going to be there sunday worm?
