She will not have a problem, at all. It's only about a ten minute walk fron Two Trees to the poker room, up hill.....

ill be down there tomorrow around 4ish playing 1/2. any one up for a meetup?

i grew up here so don't get offended anyone. i just think this place does not get it, and never will, and the culture of the region helps ensure they will not get it. just went down to an "essentials" shop in my hotel lobby here. nice room, nice hotel. i bought toothpaste, some pills, etc.
it came to $10.01. I gave the permafrosted /claw haired lady a $100 bill.

she took her sweet time and gave me back.. yes, $89. 99. a fistfull of change. i couldn't help but laugh. I donated my four pennies to her, telling her next time, go crazy. she probably put them in the till. I know it's not a big deal, but this displays horrible customer relations.
I could be anyone. i could have just lost 30g at blackjack. and and seeing the shop be stingy with a damn p[enny would put me on tilt more than losing the money. it's the little things that leave a bad taste. like being charged 10 bucks every 8 minutes in this internet "business center".

sorry, had to vent. i'm shocked at the regular shoddy experience i have with
people here in shops/restaurants/etc. i would expect it anywhere else around here, cause imo people around here are just surly cretins, but in a casino it's a bit much. i'm winning, i feet great, i have pocketfuls of money, but still somehow feeling like the place is a dump...

My money is on Suffolk Downs getting tricked out to be a "resort" casino. They already have a ton of land, and a bunch of wealthy college students to bloat the pots

I'd really like to see that place spruced up too. The concrete floors are so wobbly it looks more like a skate park.

Suffolk would be a dream come true, all the horse racing degens, it's be a AC-north. Granted it would be much more Trop than Borgata, but the clientele is ready and waiting to donate.

Ill be there every tuesday-thursday oct 5- december. Lol - my new home.

the shuttle picks up in front of the Rainmaker and drops off right in front of Two Tress

- from the entrance of rainmaker you'll be walking for maybe 2 mins to get to the poker room stairs (unless your degen and detour at the lovely craps, bj or roulette tables on your way!)

wife should be fine - theres a guard at the stairs and she doesnt have to head outside of the stairwell until the shuttle pulls up

I could definitely see it being at Suffolk and I agree it would be a dream come true. It's still a ways off before anything happens though.

Foxwoods must be crapping their pants at the thought of it because they may as well shut down if it does happen.

If they put the casino is Middleboro I think it would just be a rival because it would not have the same ease of accessibility that a place like Suffolk has. If they put it in Holyoke I am like 2 plus hours from there(I think) so I may never even go there.

I mean think about the attractions having it at a place like Suffolk. Airport 10 to 15 minutes. Downtown Boston 10 minutes. Nice beaches(some not so nice lol) up and down the North and South Shore. New Hampshire 45 minutes away... Cape Cod 1.5 hours.

My house 30 minutes

Palmer FTW

Thank god they aren't doing the BBJ at 2-5 NL and above.. Now I really have no reason to play 1-2 unless I plan on getting really wasted.

Bill could help tribe secure land for casino

By George Brennan / Cape Cod Times | Friday, September 25, 2009 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Local Coverage

A bill filed yesterday by U.S. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-North Dakota, could pave the way for the Mashpee Wampanoag to get land into trust for a casino, reports the Cape Cod Times.

Dorgan, chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs committee, proposed an amendment to the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, which would give tribes recognized after that date the same rights to put land into federal trust as those acknowledged before that date.

That includes the Mashpee tribe, which gained federal recognition in 2007, and hopes to build an Indian casino on 539 acres in Middleboro. The tribe has also applied to put 140 acres in Mashpee into federal trust for housing and other tribe initiatives.

That application has been stalled by a February ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that stripped the U.S. Department of the Interior’s authority to take land into trust for tribes recognized after 1934. Though that case involved a land dispute between Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri and the Narragansett Tribe, it had far-reaching implications for all tribes, including the Wampanoag, according to legal experts.

Damn it, anywhere but Middleboro, that's further away for me than Foxwoods!

Guess it's high time to move to Boston, eh?

Ya.. I feel the same way !

But I also play 10/20 Holdem (when we get it going) and I guess any hand/pot that does not reach $100, does not qualify to win the BBJ ! I was told they will take $1 once the pot reaches $100 then it will qualify....

i've played heads up at least 4 times in the last month

3x 20-40 limit and 1x 5-10 nl

any shorthanded games running?

Had anyone heard of these tribes before the casino industry? Mashantucketts especially.

I see some bigger $$ tables running shorthanded in the cage area.

I think it's probably omaha or horse-type games.

There aren't any 6-max tables or anything. Most of the regulars cry if it gets 8 handed.

Someone wrote a book about how the whole Foxwoods is an Indian Casino is really just a big scam. I forget the name of the book, and I'm not sure how accurate it is.

be up again the 19th - 21st of oct

Howard Beale (not his real name) said it was called "Hitting the Jackpot" I haven't seen it.

http://www.amazon.com/Hitting-Jackpo.../dp/0802141714

I believe " Without Reservation ", by Jeff Benedict was one of the first books outlining the whole time line of the rise of Foxwoods and the Mashantucket Pequots. Also IIRC, both the Connecticut tribes have been recognized by the state since well before the forming of the USA, and that went a long way in " filling in the gaps " during the recognization process. Books a good read.

so is it official that there taking $1 off of the 1/2 and 4/8 pots now for the bbj? and has it been changed to Quad 8's or better.

One thing weird about FW is you can never sue them.

Ever.

For anything.

Ever.





Edit: See.

haven't played down there in a while but ive played HU/3handed 40/80+ games. granted they were against pretty decent players and we were playing 100VPIP but i think it's nice to have the option........ when they have dealers.
