Was anyone else at my table last night where the red haired woman may or may not have pulled back half her chips when the opponent rolled a bigger full house?

Floor ruled she was all in and it shipped. I came back just as is was being decided, didn't see the action.

Does a PLO game get setup friday or saturday, on most weekends? Haven't played during the weekends in months and whenever i get on an interest list for 1-2 or 2-5 plo during the week it never happens. TY for the info~

I see they have started the third BBJ at Foxwoods, this one for Stud games. Does anyone know which level games are included in this BBJ?

An interesting discussion broke out at MS last night at a 1/2 table about how hard Foxwoods 2/5 NL is...at first, I thought it was a level, but the guys were dead serious (and really tight and ABC, FWIW)

I always thought that 2/5 at Foxwoods was soft, but I have not been there in 6 months--have things changed? MS is all regs at 2/5, but all have their quirks (a lot of 10/6 nits, a lot of maniacs)

I think its slowly gotten harder for the weekdays (in that you can still win if you play purely ABC, but not that much), but even so if you're a thinking player with any semblance of post-flop play and knowledge of board textures, then you could still completely crush it.

As for the weekends, its still really hard to not make money at Foxwoods 2/5.

As for Foxwoods 2/5, it really is way easy, but not if you're playing a 9/6 nit-style, which kind of blows my mind that people are successful playing like that at a live game.

But this is good information, thank you! Is there a difference at Foxwoods between day and night at the 2/5s? Mohegan has very little, I find...you will find the occasional maniac stray in at any hour.

Jersey there's a few players that are regs there and they play that style. Everyone knows them and they instantly get no action. Literally none..
Foxwoods 2/5 is much better than mohegan. Play there Monday thru the week mostly evening into late night and you'll love it. This winter I hit it semi hard and made about 16k over 200 hours or so, maybe alittle more on the hours. There's def some good players...but there's a lot of the...I'm too good for 1/2 so I'm here players.

I have a little under half that winrate at Mohegan 1/2 (~$33 per hr.), so I think Foxwoods might be the way to go...although I am a sucker for comps, and Foxwoods I hear is not very giving to its poker community in terms of rating status.

But hey, if the grass really is that much greener, I will drive an extra 10 minutes and look to squeeze a video poker machine for comp rating status.

One thing there good with is the two free rooms every week Mon thru Thursday. Other than that I agree with you on that. Plus if there aren't any of those rooms available u usually can get a suite upgrade for 50 bucks. But you probably live close so its irrelevant.

And thanks...whether people agree with me or not ill throw my. 02 cents in there for you Haha. Maybe see u down there one day. I think I'm going to start concentrating on mtts maybe give online mtts a go too..we'll. See

I would definitely like playing with you, it would be a welcome change of pace, and chance are I will be heading down more often to both MS and FW just to experiment with 2/5 some more.

It's shorthand for seeing only 9 percent of hands preflop and raising 6 percent. Sarcastically exaggerated. But only a little.

Yes, my apologies, I tend to explain far too many archetypes in online shorthand >_<. People I am referring to I have never seen show down anything worse than 88, AQ, or AJs, which is 5.9% of hands. The 9-10% is derived for the times I imagine they limp with lower pairs and overbet their sets >_<.
