You see people sitting 12+hrs at the 2/5 as well. Most people at the 1/2 buy in for less than 200 - its tough to have a higher EV at 1/2. Play is softer at 1/2, but leaning towards the super tight predictable play. I wish bbj would just go away all together.

is there any 0/8 at foxwoods?

4/8 limit O8 runs almost all the time.

1/2 Pot Limit O8 has been running just about every time I've been there in the last 3-4 months.

The problem with both games is that they are filled with grumpy, grumpy regs. I enjoy both games immensely, but I need a break from those FW regs. Another problem is that they don't buy in for enough, especially at the PLO8.

Anyone play Foxwoods tournaments recently? I'm particularly interested in thoughts on the bounty tourneys and the new 20K starting chip deep stack events. How many players...were they well-run...quality of play...any info would be great! New to the forums, great reads, thanks all..

I play in the Sunday $150 Survivor Bounty whenever I can. Its a great tournament - soft field, decent structure. By the time the blinds start getting ridiculous, you're at the end and chopping automatically due to the Survivor format. And even if you don't make it to the end, you might have collected enough $25 bounties along the way to cover some or all of your buy-in. Every time I've played its had between 80 and 130+ runners, almost always 90+. I'm UP over $2,000 just from that tournament in 2010. I love it!

I haven't played any of the 6pm Deepstacks due to not being able to get there in time after work, but I have played the Saturday 6pm Turbo twice. I won't do it again.

The first time was a few weeks ago, and there was 109 runners. I busted out in 48th place when I called the big bling's all-in 3bet (I had open-raised to 3xBB from button). I had 77 and he had 55 and despite the flop being 75x, I still lost to his runner-runner flush. Anyway, I thought it was a decent enough tourney (very soft field).

But then I played this past Saturday. They must have known it was going to be big, because they had 15 tables set up by 5:30, and it ended up getting 146 runners. My table was tough with a good player on my immediate right and left (and all the soft spots on the other end of the table). I busted before the first break but made it back playing $2-5 and placing 3rd in a sit n go.

But the problem was they changed the rules, so now no matter how many people enter, only NINE spots get paid. NINE spots for 146 entrants? Not worth it, if you ask me! According to the "Tournament Talk" pamphlet 15 spots should have gotten paid, which is much easier to do. By the time you get down to two tables the blinds are so big you're not a big favorite to make the final 9 no matter what your skill or chipstack is!

Anyway, I'd love to play the Wednesday or Friday 6pm when I get a chance sometime. I'm curious myself to hear what others say about them.

Hope some of that helps!

WTF? That's outrageous. They better change that! There have been a lot of improvements this year with tournaments at Foxwoods. They must be listening. How does one give feedback?

I usually play the 11pm 120 buy-ins because I prefer playing earlier in the day, and moving to cash games when the weaker players come in later. Although I would certainly like to play the 6pms, I feel like Im losing out because so many weak players play cash at night that I am losing alot of chance at money. The TD there are really good, but they do tend to warn a bit quickly so be careful. However all in all the play is good. Usually the morning crowd tends to be older and alot more tight.

P.S- Actually going to be playing the 11am tommorow if anyone wants to say hi.

Interesting, how many runners do the 11am $120s usually get? I have never played because I live an hour away and like my sleep, but it sounds like it might be worth it.

Maybe it is specific to that tournament? The $230 last night had ~130 runners and paid top 15.

I talked with a shift manager to see if they might post in this thread and I was told that it is Foxwoods policy that nobody who works there can officially represent Foxwoods on any web site other than their own.

It also seems that Foxwoods is considering posting the current games running on their own website...

Yes, the "Only 9 spots paid" was indeed specific to the Saturday 6pm $100 Turbo only - sorry I didn't make that clearer.

interesting, but i doubt it would up to date.

Headed to foxwoods in late august. What lhe games will they have on a tuesday or wednesday. Anything around 10/20 or 15/30? Thanks.

10/20 and 20/40 for sure. Maybe even higher with the Mega stacks.

Last time I played they got 70? and the time before that they got 80ish. From what I hear its usually 60-80. Prize pool is usually 5-6.5K.

this would be very very helpful to us NYCers and RI/Mass players who have to drive 2+hours to Foxwoods so we know if our game of choice is running and what type of waitlist there is giving us an accurate idea of when to call the poker room to sign up

What's the chance of a 20/40 HOE or OE game going this Sunday? What's the rake?

the $60 turbo payouts are stupid too. only top 6 get paid (even when there were 80 people) and the payout was 1500, 750, 450, 300, 250, 225 aprox. they are very soft though. last night the $120 @ 6 had 150ish people. not sure on the payouts though. also, the $60 SNGs only pay top 2 instead of 3.

Me too! I wish I could play in the $560, but at least I'll get to play in the $340.

I imagine the cash games will be juicy that entire week. I also imagine $230 sit n gos will be running much more often. Can't wait.

This game goes often enough and will go, if you got the start a game talent. Once started it will fill.

It would have to be OE though, because the 20/40 LHE is a reg game and it can't be interfered with.

I'm pretty much a NL and PLO only player, never bothered to try and get a different game going... but do floors play favorites like that? Will they really not start up a 20/40 HOE interest list because it would mess up the regs' game?

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...nt-die-844365/

It's not because they feel obligated to appease the regs, it's because they don't want to listen to all the harassing they will receive all day by those regs over it. It's not playing favorites, it's avoiding a headache.

Eh, its not really that either. Its protecting the golden goose. A certain game makes the house a bunch of money, management is going to protect it. It has nothing to do with regs beyond their part in keeping the golden goose alive.

3060 HOE might find a nice following. Just sayin.
