pretty true....

there was almost a fist fight @ my 1/2 table last night secruity broke it up. There were two super drunk guys at my table that would not shut up, pretty awesome

fixed your post

If you can beat it you're better man than me. I am very interested in hearing a trip report.

I heard from a dealer this week that as of next Monday, FW will start to use the "Betting Line" on the tables as an actual Betting Line.
(Previously, despite Betting Line on table, a bet has been any forward motion of chips beyond your cards, very loosely and variably interpreted by players, dealers and floors).
Has anyone heard any more on this?

shift supervisor told me the rule change was being discussed. when asked for my opinion, i told her the current rule wasnt a problem in games i play. if they change the rule, the floor will have less work because the rule will be very clear, but the games will be slower, overall.

I don't think that using the line as a bet line will actually affect the game speed much, if at all. It would also make it easier for the dealers to reach bets made by the end seats, which frequently now are placed short of the line.
At the moment, lots of newer players somehow conclude that the "Betting Line" is actually (gasp!)...... a Betting Line (what a crazy notion), and act accordingly.
I frequently see players pushing or counting out chips beyond their cards, but short of the betting line, while thinking that they haven't committed to a bet yet. Most players and dealers are reasonable about this, but occasionally some one will call or raise and the first player then denies betting yet, etc. And I have heard at least 3 different floor interpretations of what physical motion with chips currently constitutes a bet.
I wouldn't have a problem with almost any rule, if they would just pick one, communicate it clearly and be consistent in interpretation.

worth a try - i'll get a feel for it with a couple of buyins and will move back down if i have too

prob wont make it down this weekend but when i do i'll post up something

I'm going down to FW *right now* to start/join a HORSE 2/4 list.
Be there in an hour or less.
Come on down.

Hi,

Does someone have the blind structure of the May 25 $400 ?

Sorry guys, I was sleep deprived and drinking. The twoplustwo kinda just slipped out.

Has this 2/4 horse game been going at all?

So if we have the betline rule, and someone says "all-in", should I insist that they shove all their chips over the line before I take any acton or show my cards?

verbal in any room is always binding.

The 2/4 horse has not been going.. It played about 3 weeks ago because a group from here came with pretty much a full table. Milla and I have tried the list 3 times and last weekend he was flat out told they will not run the game for us. I have no idea why.. maybe the floor was just cranky but I know theyve played it. Mohegan seemed way more enthusiastic about getting this off hte ground

Yeah, pretty much every time I go to the woods, which has been far more frequent lately, I start a list. Saturday I stared a 2/4 Horse list at about 3PM, it was erased by 3:30. I asked to get it going again, the people at the board were exceptionally helpful in starting the list again and said they weren't sure why it had been deleted but that they would put it back up.
Long story short my 2/4 Horse list had apparently been erased somewhere between 6 and 10 times from 3 to 5:30. A couple of guys playing at my table thought it would be a neat game and went to sign up, only to come back to the table to get my initials so they could start the list again(!). After that I went up to talk to the girls at the board and see what was up. They told me that a list of interest can only be erased on purpose and not accidentally by the system or some other nonsense; and therefore a floor was erasing it, over and over and over.
Later on in the evening the list got to 7 people, so I asked a floor if he would spread the game with 7 people on the list. He said he would get back to me, which he did, after speaking to the floor boss. The floor, whose name I don't currently remember, came back and told me they WONT spread a 2/4 horse game since it's a conflict with their 2/4 HE game. At that point I was completely shocked since FW runs at least 4 2/4 tables almost 24 hours a day and had about 10 of them running at that point on a Saturday night. I stated that they are ALWAYS running 2/4 HE and it was implied that they'll never spread a 2/4 horse game when there's a 2/4 HE game running.

Oh well, looks like I'm going to start going to Mohegan more.
So, in a nutshell, Paulie, not that I've seen, not even with a full list.

Drawing the betting line on the tables is like mandating training wheels in the Tour de France.

Maybe, but the Bet Lines are already there, though not enforced as such.
Isn't this more like drawing the Finish Line on the Tour, and then saying it's really somewhere else on the road? (Actually, I'm surprised the French haven't already tried this.)

IMO the only thing a betting line does is increase the amount of angles people are looking to shoot, i wont list them because im sure everyone knows them. foward motion is the rule that should be inforced, and if anyone tried to shoot it they get +B from the casino for atleast a year

Did the cardrooms request these lines or was it invented by someone trying to sell felt? I like the real card rooms where there is no line. But once the line appeared on the felt, it was inevitable that it would become the rule.

FWIW, There are many more 1/2 tables than 2/5. I think the best bet is to start at 1/2 and if you don't like the table set up ask for a table change to another 1/2. Of course, it as all relative. If you can find a 2/5 table with 1 or 2 fishes it can be very lucrative.
Bottom line:
More 1/2 tables than 2/5 tables, therefore 1/2 is easier to beat IMO.

yes true- i need to take advantage of table changes...hardly ever do it-

i actually went up on sat but stuck to 1/2 since i just rode up with someone and knew it would be a very short session- didn't wanna move up and lose early and not be able to recover-

the 1/2 table was good/entertaining - alot of $ on the table, a couple fish and a couple good players...overall an excellent game...i could have played it all night

British fish here. Coming to Foxwood to hand out my money this summer.

A few questions first...

What's the min/max buy-in for the 1/2$ NLHE?

What time does alcohol stop being served?
(if it's really early, I need to ask another question)

What time doe alcohol start being served?


And lastly what are the chances of some advanced tuition at a decent price... slim I imagine? Anyone who is good enough will be just making money at the tables, and therefore would need a big fee to be lured away.


Cheers. From your limey, buck-toothed friend.

can help you with some of that-

min $60
max $300

start serving around noonish maybe 11
they stop serving prob 2-3a?

Thanks for the quick reply....

That gives me some idea of what to expect. Our booze finishes at 6am, but there's no hold'em here, so it's just pure gambling, which can be done when you're boozed up as the results are the same, negative equity.

And the buy-in sounds ok... $100 should be enough to not look too weak/cheap, and I'll also not look like a massive gambler to my friend (who's not a poker fan).

Thanks again.

Alcohol is served from 10AM until about 1:30AM and they are required to remove all the alcohol cups around 2AM.
