Foxwoods Resort·Casino (Mashantucket, CT) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.09.16 - Page 18 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Will be down there Mon doing a coaching session for someone. Will probably stay over a night or two and play mostly 5/10. Not sure if anybody will be around or anybody else playing some 5/10. I'd like to get some PLO going also.

My name is Jose, I have very short hair and I am extremely good looking. =) Come over and say hi. Please don't come over to tell me a bad beat story, I hear too many of them as it is. I love to talk strategy though.

if this is the jose that put that beat on mike last week w/ 95 or something then please move back down to 2/5 immediately....you are actually decent

Please, I'm begging you , don't do this! A lot (most) of them have trouble following the action as it is. When someone flirts with them forget about it.

Hey, lol... not all us dealers mess up while dealing simply because someone is talking to us. Most of the time I mess up for ten to twelve other perfectly good reasons.

what can i expect moving from 1/2nlhe to 2/5?

i'm thinking about it- my last two sessions have been plagued by river chasers and suckouts-

is it the same game/players just more money? or are raises/ tag play usually respected-

of course youll find people going against the norm at every level and theres no prob with that...i'm just seeing too many $10-$15 preflop calls for my liking at 1/2

should i just stick to tourney/sng

move up to where they respect your raises.

I like your post though flys in the face of those on here in this and the MS thread crying about how 1/2 games are full of TAGs and such.

I mean its not just me- i saw alot in a these last couple of sessions...people going up crazy then down just as quick...mucking losers 90% of the time cause they were embarrassed to show what they were chasing etc

again i understand its part of the game and you can catch these people if your patient...i just want to play a better quality game-

at these stakes i play for the love- i'm not gonna go broke nor get rich

i guess my question is just a generalization but does the quality get better as you move up or is it the same game just more money changing hands -

Absolutely!

If you have trouble at 1/2, 2/5 is definitely not the answer.
No matter what anyone else tells you, 2/5 is generally much, much tougher than 1/2.

i'm prob not phrasing it right...i'm up overall- i'm not having "trouble"

what do you mean by "tougher" if your saying skill wise thats what I am looking for...if i wanted to just put my money in and pray i'd stay upstairs on the slots
