So not much hope for a limit Holden game between 2/4 and 20/40 on Wednesday or Thursday?

Guess 1/2 it will be with tourney Wednesday night. I will probably be wearing some spartan gear if anyone wants to say hi. Should arrive mid afternoon.

I'm guessing for most of the past year your V5 offers were something like Su-Th Pequot, Su-F everywhere else? And now for June they are Su-Th everywhere, or M-Th Pequot Su-Th everywhere else? That's the type of downgrade I'm talking about.

Lattimer - do you know what all the V ratings mean? I’m a V6B.

It's just the level of your room offer.

Most of the year, they mean:

V1 - Diamond level - 4 rooms/wk S-S all hotels
V2 - S-S all hotels
V3A - S-F GP, S-S GC/MGM/TT
V3B - S-F GP/GC/MGM, S-S TT

and so on, you can see how they gradually get worse.

I've heard Wednesday is pretty dry lately for H. Sorry.

Holy crap. Parked 10 minutes away from the poker room (fox tower?) 15th on 1/2 list so after going tonplahers card cafe, poker desk, and tournament desk, got registered for tourney and now grabbing some salmon at Hard Rock. Figure no point waiting for a seat with only an hour before tourney.

10/20 has 1 name. 20/40 has 3. I’m going to need to cash tonight to play 20/40 tomorrow. I purposefully didn’t bring enough bullets for that game. Too big a percentage of my poker stack to shot take in a not great daytime game.

Went out in spectacular fashion. Set over set vs flush draw. Got it all in good on flop with the higher set but no waiting for flush draw on turn. River brick. Would have put me at 75k from a start of 25k in level 5. Off to 1/2.

I don’t see the horse listed on bravo. When does it run?

I’ll have to figure out Razz on the fly...

I assume it’s my best 5 card hand so a pair of aces doesn’t hurt me as long as I have 4 other non paired cards? Q7542AA plays 7542A?

How early does it start?

QQ on T5352 board no flush. He had TT. He raised and I 3bet pre.

Dealers all very good and fast. Atmosphere a bit sterile. Nice that whole part of the casino is nonsmoking. Tons of food options.

I'm betting you cant get much lower than V6B so this is ok with me lolol

Yes, that's correct. Of course, you will only have that when someone else has A2347.

Last year I had 6 perfect in stud-8 after 5 cards. Other guy had the wheel. I know the drill.

I got in on the must move. Thanks for heads up. Should be fun. Couple of chatterboxes- Boston accent grates a bit but that’s what headphones are for.

You'll get a lot of NY/NJ there, too.

Being from Philly I hate them all (I’m not a native so it’s mild hate).

5/10 runs only during a tournament series when Foxwoods has enough dealers to open games which is rare these days. Last month we had a whale wanting 5/10 with a list of 10 so we pushed for the game to be called but they had something like 50 on 1/2 and 20 on 2/5 so our game never went. They really need to begin shipping in dealers for these series events now that they have downsized their staff of dealers.
