Also it is ten dollars to use the Pequot gym even if you are staying there. It includes a locker and use of the steam, sauna and showers. If you are just using the pool it is free.

I am pretty sure you can use the Cedar pool and gym for free if you are staying in any of the hotels. The Pequot is much nicer than Cedar and even though I have not used MGM yet I have heard it is nicest out of all of them.

stayed at the Pequot and used the gym w/o being charged or hassled back in Dec. is this new?

I got into the MGM pool/spa for free another time but that is more of a brag on my part as I sweet talked the cute girl at the front desk into letting me in

I dunno. I was there this past Sunday and paid ten dollars for use of the gym/locker room. Pool is free but they still charged for locker room/gym. Once you get down there and use the pool and are not using a locker I can see it being pretty easy to sneak into the gym and locker room. I am pretty sure you are supposed to pay ten though. If you get a massage or something then you get all the amenities included.

Why do I have a feeling that no one itt has ever been awake for the 9am $60 Turbo ... lmao ... honestly if it wasn't for my situation getting up there at a reasonable time on Sunday I wouldn't be considering it one bit neither .. Assuming that many people don't attending the 9am Turbo, could this be in my favor to warm for my first live play? I honestly have no interest/exp. in MTTs but you guy think for $60 it might be a nice warm up to get a feel for live action for the first time?

Dude honestly I equate you playing that tourney with putting 80 bux on a blackjack table. You are either going to win or lose. Once the middle stages begin you are going to build a stack or lose a stack. It's not a big deal.

Last time I palyed one of those I cashed. I shoved my button with 66 and was snap called with a guy who had me slightly covered... Ya he had QJ. He outflopped me obv...

in short...the saturday $120 has polarized levels. the first set of levels drag on forever, and the last 2-3 tables are avg stack = short stack when being a nerd and using the concept of M


ive bubbled the FT 2x in a row there, playing solid for a few hours just to make standard shoves and losing both. very frustrating.

deep stack structure ftw, 45 or 50 min levels and 20k chips....awwwwwww yeaaa

Played the $180 tonight, and had such a crazy session. Barely played. 1st hand I play, blinds are 100-200 I have AA in the SB and make it 700. I get 2 callers the BB and the Button. Flop comes 10c 3d 8c. I bet out 2100 SB folds, Button moves all in for 8k. Of course I call and he has what I thought he had Kc5c. Well didn't know his flush draw was that terrible, I assumed it would be at least KQ or J9, something giving him more outs. He hits the flush in the river of course. Hand I go out on. I am in middle position with blinds 400-800. I have 11k. I push all in with AJ and BB calls my all in without even thinking, so I assume I am dead, and he turns over Q8 off. Hits running 8's for trips. Back on 95 by 830.

Crazy assed night.

A fellow 2/5er convinced me to go play drunken 1/2 with him. It was the best idea that I had heard in days. Downed 2 tequila shots, one beer and one kamikaze before being cut off by these bitchass food and beverage people. I was in no way drunk, just having fun. UGGH. So, as they were walking away from our table, a fellow 2/5er(diff from the one above) commented on one of the ladies ass, long story short, he and the guy who agreed with him were led out of the room by security. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. They dress these girls in hoochie outfits for the male viewing pleasure but dont you dare comment on what they are putting on display!
Won $550 in 2 hours of 1/2 so yeah, fun times.

Were you doing shots with a puerto rican guy? He's a pretty tight player. I don't know if he gave his name (it was Dan). He was at FW last night, and texting me that he was doing shots at the table. Just curious

And I started out playing 2cent, 5cent on FT!
Madmaniac, Jerseys and I met someone tonight at David Burke and I cannot for the life of me remember his screenname.....Golf something???

I really should not play after 12am. What was it??? The Gremlins that turned into monsters after midnight? That's me.
Hahaha, PLO was so absurd, I'm so happy that I got it going. ******ed floor person decides to break up our 3 handed must move 2/5, so i'm like EFF YOU we're switching to PLOL.

I played 100% vpip 6 handed. I actually might have been 100% pfr. Can't believe I folded a straight to Jerseys when he bet a set on a 3 straight 3 flush board on the river after having just FLATTED the flop with the same set! I'm such a fish.

Pretty sure JP was going to kill me at one point as I would pot, she would fold, then see my 4 cards and give me a "WTF U DOING" look 9/10 times.

2. This one is priceless. I am playing 4-handed 2/5, and I am stacked with KK against AA. Twice. In the same orbit.

I love poker .

Pft, if by bad you mean awesomely fun then yes.

Also - after having a bad steak at Burke some time back, I was pleasantly surprised with how good their short rib was. And only $29!

JP, the 2+2er we met was Colt45ss (sp?)

You know that you play too much poker at Foxwoods when all night you dream about being at the same table as James Woods.

No, unfortunately, we could not get any of the 1/2ers to drink with us. Party poopers

Oh, okay! lol. He just mentioned people were doing shots (and he was too). Naja! That is fun (what you did), as I do it sometimes too but at like 2/4LHE. I did that in Vegas at the lower limits in March. I find it particularly fun if you've been having a downswing. While in terms of BRM, it's not "fiscally sound," but sometimes letting loose and buying in for $100-$200 at 2/4LHE can be a good stress reliever. : ) I know D.Negreanu was a big proponent of doing that before.

I might be there this weekend. I'd certainly do some shots!

Come and get it! The 2/5 tables are filled with the worst players that I have seen in forever. Limping KK, AQ and then never folding no matter what the action is. Tell boxes. Insta calling shoves on rivers with top pair. Calling $50 pre with 86s with 40bb stacks. I could go on for days

And as usual, I can't beat them
