i'm pretty sure it's an hour. was there the other day in a must move and a guy was told if he didn't want to move to the main game he had to wait an hour and he could resit (if he even got his seat back)

Ummm, the card room...

Seriously, when you get on a table, give your license to the floor and ask them for a poker room card.

See you all at the 20/40 LHE on Sunday.

If they put a casino on the Suffolk Downs property right outside Boston the foot traffic will be insane imo. The NH,ME,VT,RI, and MA crowd, the huge asian populations a couple miles away. GG CT. NH already voted on casinos and threw the bills in the trash so don't worry about NH opening any casinos.

It all depends on what will be offered in MA and the Casinos proximity. I live in MA on the NH border and the Milford Poker Room, The River, is a 20 minute drive for me. I play tournaments there all the time (rake = ~20-25% depending on buy-in). The rake at FW on a $120 Sit & go is $20 (~20%). Not that different. My drive time to FW is a little less than 2 hours so in gas, time and money, I choose to play tournaments in NH.

However

If I want to play a bigger tournament (MegaStack) with a bigger field or cash games, I go to FW and usually stay for 3 days. Cash games (Limit only - $4 max) in NH are not worth the time, No Foldem Holdem with a horrible rake. If NH offered at least $5/10 Limit, I would play cash games there although I prefer NL.

BTW - I noted a few people not wanting to play with bad players which I do not understand. At my present skill level, I like to play with bad players and there is an abundance in NH. I expect to do well when I play there. Their donations are appreciated.

If Ma Casinos do not offer NL cash games or at least higher level Limit cash games, I will continue frequent The River in NH and FW. Of course, I lost my free rooms at FW which I am yet to factor into my equation.

So in summary, it all depends.....

How often do you play at the river?

I'm positive. I heard a rumor it might happen so I had lunch their Wednesday and the waitresses confirmed the rumor and said they were closing Friday. When I walked by yesterday, the TV's are gone and its locked up mid day.
For those of you who were big fans of the bartenders, I heard a few of them went to Hard Rock.

The Stadium's gone!? Aww, come on. Excellent bartenders, awesome TVs, cool atmosphere. Still, the food ain't special, and certainly not worth the prices ($11 for potato skins? Screw that). So I can see why it's gone. Still, FML

I'll probably see you guys tomorrow morning. Anyone know anything about 9AM Sunday tournies?

That sucks ass, that was one of my fav places to relax and have a drink.

I hope they don't keep closing all these places down. Foxwoods needs to step there **** up and do more business ughh. If they close down Panera I will riot.

Although the stadium never seemed to be super busy in terms of turning over tables, oh well.

Probably the Nestle choclatier. They already replaced the Foxwoods logo oriented store with the M&M candies store.

On the crowds yesterday... one floor person suggested that the Atlantic City power outages problem drove some New Yorkers to come to Foxwoods instead.

It wasn't that much for a burger no way. Their prices were semi reasonable imo. Hard Rock on the other hand not so much.

Their location certainly didn't help them I am sure as it was tucked all the way in the back over there. I did like the bartenders there as well. I am disappointed to hear it closed down.

Oh well.

The location was horrible, but the burger was no where $18, lol.

The bartenders were good, but I dont think itll pursuade me to go to Hard Rock. I like chilling at the atrium, closest bar to the poker room behind the waterfall if I am not mistaken. Good envirorment, the bartenders can be slow, semi ******ed sometimes but still a nice place to chill.

Anyone been to shrine recently? I am in the mood for some poker and good sushi.

Just short of the money again. Why must you hate on such a loyal customer, Foxwoods?

By the way, I wasn't able to confirm this, but I heard a rumor that the Stadium is NOT closing, just relocating.

Also, if you're going down there in the near future, bring a sweatshirt. The air conditioning was insane today, my toes practically caught frostbite

Is it air conditioning, or a combination of air conditioning and pumping in/recirculating oxygen? Im pretty sure all casinos do the oxygen thing.

Sad to hear Stadium closed down, only place i enjoyed going to there. Prices were very reasonable IIRC. Back in football season two of my buddies and I went to Stadium to watch the pats game. Needless to say by the time we left we racked up a $250 bar tab. But we all had the WPT Foxwoods card and that got us 10% off everything. Between the 3 of us it was 33 Bud light drafts, 15 shots, and 30 wings....very reasonable IMO.

Ill be there tonight playing some 1/2. Check for me ill be wearing my "You can go south, but your mom is riding west" anti lebron james t-shirt!

i highly doubt that any of them do the oxygen thing. between the cost of oxygen, the amount of tanks they would need, swapping them, etc would be astronomical. i've found that the weather is night and day depending on where you're seated in relation to the ceiling vents. i've been hot or cold at a table and moved to the other side of the table when a seat opened and it was perfect

Around 8:00 Sunday night, at a 4/8 game...

Player: Hey floor, we have 2 open seats

Floor: Open seating 4/8

30 secs later...
They call three 4/8 players to a different game over the speakers...

*Floor walks by again*

Floor: It should have been open seating

I rarely comment on floor people, but this really bothered me. How much effort does it take to ask the desk if there is a list for 4/8? And how can you say it "should" have been open seating? Are you not going to let people sign up? C'mon...

I guess the oxygen thing is a myth, anyways 4/8 and 1/2 seem to be the one of the smoother operating games, shame to see the floor is slacking when it comes to seating/calling seats and checking the board, hopefully they step there **** up.
