A poker room upstairs? Brilliant. But being Foxwoods they have it backwards. Put the cash games back up and let the donkaments stay in the dungeon.

Yea, I agree. If they want some tables up stairs, make them all $1-$2 tables, and keep everything else the way it is downstairs.

Did everyone hear about next week's Foxwoods August MegaStack (August 17-23)?
Unbelievable that Chris Moneymaker and Darvin Moon are scheduled to come.
And also I just saw that the 2010 November Nine Chip Leader, Jonathan Duhamel, is coming as well!

duhamel is new to the mix..this should be lol but i doubt any of them will be playing the $340 as both Shaffel and Phillips both only played the $560 and $1650 in May

It was a $2,000 in May, not a $1,650

Duhamel - one of the sickest hands of the ME vs Ben Damon.

May was 1650. I played it. Can confirm it on the site.

Oh, to be at the same table as Moneymaker and Darvin, just so I can say "I'm the best player at this table right now!"

.....I'm such a douche.

I wish I could play in the $560. Prior obligation though. Oh well. The extra fish in the cash games that week will make up for it.

It would have to be OE though, because the 20/40 LHE is a reg game and it can't be interfered with.
Regarding 20/40 LHE at Foxwoods on week nights, are these good regs? Just curious about the quality of play. Could take a shot at 20/40 when I visit if the game is soft. Anyone know how it would compare to 20/40 at Borgata?


Thanks

I was 11th going into the day...sigh...that was a button open and i was SB...he had very little FE seeing he had like 450-500K at 3-6k 500a. He raised to 26k and had to call 30k to win 125K. EZ Game!

Pretty much 90% gonna play the 340. I am getting down there Monday and staying at Bellisimo and then I got a room at Great Cedar for Tuesday.

Anyone know about the shutlles at Bellissimo in the morning? How many? What time? Do you tip the driver?

My experience in other rooms is limited but the 20 on a tue/wed night tends to be good. During tournaments it improves. A fine spot to take a 20 shot imo.

The shuttles run to foxwoods every hour and half hour past each hour, trips from foxwoods back to bellisimo are 1/4 past and 1/4 before every hour. Basically the limo's just drive back and forth to Foxwoods all day until 3am (I think, maybe 2am). Bellisimo FTW, I smoked that place out so hard last time I was there and nobody cared, Just as good of TV's as FW/MGM + jacuzzi's in some rooms, oh and it's half the price of foxwoods/mgm (unless you are getting sick comps obv)

Bellismo rooms are $99/night, aren't they?

You can get a room at the Two Trees Inn on the FW campus for $99/night for next week as well:

seems like 15,000 starting chips for the $340. is not much of a mega stack imo.
I was going to enter it but may decide to buy in the 560 instead. more like a mega but not much.

good looks on the bellismo discussion, i had no idea it even existed. def down to smoke it out and meet up with you guys if i go. should i still be able to get a room fairly easily?

just found out there's a good chance i won't go back to school until the 24th or 25th, so i'm debating whether or not to make a trip of it and go to foxwoods for a few days and play cash games/maybe one or two tourneys next week. i play msnl and haven't done mtt's in a while, so i'm not really dying to direct buy into the 1650, or even 560 really. should i just try to sat in? if i don't sat in i'd probably want to sell some of myself...

how are the new deep stack tourneys every night? can anyone give an idea of how many runners/what top few places pay?
