yikes 1500 to 3000 people. sounds bad

hey what should i spend my points on? is there any way to do it online?

So I ended up buying gas cards with my points, I know its a big markup but I'm never going to buy a hotel room there and the prices for everything are marked up food included. At least i have money I can spend off site now.

If they are going to give me 15 points everytime I show up and another 12 for 8 hrs of 1/2nl, I'll never spend that unless I buy something. Whats the difference in buying a $50 gas for 87.5 points or a $2 slice of pizza for 3.5 points.

There is a way to shop on line. Go into the Dream Rewards Gallery and ask them.

Did they up the price of a stopnshop card? You used to be able to get 3:2 for the card and then use it at SnS gas station.

Yes, all the cards are 87.5 pts now.

i found my way into the dream rewards gallery through the website and also found how to purchase foxwoods gift cards but it doesnt appear that i could purchase a gas card or some other card online?

Because you can't

Anyone else see that the Foxwoods Poker Room will be shut down from 6am-10am on July 26th? I wonder how many people will go over to Mohegan that typically wouldn't or haven't before?

what in god is this ?

this is why Foxwoods > Turning Stone

Anyone know if they changed the starting stack to 15k for the 180 15k guarantee tonight? On the Tourney Structure it says it did, but it says it did for the 230 20k guarantee, but we def only started with 10 k this Monday night...thanks if any one knows

Confirmed. Perhaps they are re-felting the tables with Darvin Moooooons?

They are re-branding the room with new signage.

The soft opening starts at 10am Monday. The official grand opening of the new Foxwoods World Poker Root Cellar will kick-off the August Mega Stack Challenge.

The grand opening festivities are rumored to include a Moonie mass wedding ceremony.

As part of the re-branding, they are also revamping various services in the room. Massages will now be provided by retired Hooters girls. Heineken is being replaced with PBR. Dealers are being issued Louisville Sluggers for use in responding to IWTSTH requests. Perhaps most significantly, the Foxwoods floor people are having their titles changed to more accurately reflect their job descriptions. They are now going to be called “Chaos Facilitators.”

I Lol'd

At least we know there is some dead money in the pool now :-D

Will probably start playing the tournys this august

are they really rebranding the room with new signs as well as reopening it ?

Sorry about that. My comment was entirely tongue in cheek. I have no idea what they are doing for that 4 hour period Monday morning. Although, given the amount of dead space in the room, renting it out for a Moonie wedding ceremony wouldn't be a complete impossibility...

going to Foxwoods next weekend 7/30/10-8/1/10. What is the best tourney to invest my time into? thanks

I heard a few months ago that the WPT was no longer going to be affilated with the room so maybe this is the reason.

I have no idea how true it is I just remember hearing it.

How many ppl are normally in that room on a monday morning between 6-10am? I can't imagine it's >75 ppl on average. They def chose the best possible time imo

they ditched using the wpt branded decks ages ago as well if i remember correctly

The $2, $10, and possibly the $2.50 chips have the WPT symbol on them. Any chips that do not play in the MGM casino have this WPT side instead of a MGM side.

I always thought that all chips in foxwoods played at any/all table games

Nope. The $2 and $10 chips are exclusive to the poker room. Also those chips are for specific stakes and won't play at tables that don't use them (ex: can't use either at 1/2nl).

And the pink $2.50 chips have MGM logo, since they're used upstairs too (blackjack).

I don't think so, only because the website said something to the effect of the World Poker Room reopening.
