Foxwoods Resort·Casino (Mashantucket, CT) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.09.16 - Page 306 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Good morning all.

I am going to do a little testing waters here today to run for this Sunday May 15th 2011. I am interest in running a 4/8 Badugi and would like to see if anyone has any interest. You do not have to commit at the moment but I would just like to see if anyone would be interested in getting a game running and if I can get about 10 people that have interest then I will start asking for confirmations of people that will def. will show up and what time they will show up, etc. PM's or emails would be preferred over reply's so I don't miss anything. Thanks in advance guys, I think this would be really fun and might draw some new games to FW?

I know someone suggested to Baducey/Baduci but I think just running straight Badugi at the moment might be best.

I would join a list for a mixed game involving something like Holdem/Omaha/Badugi, anywhere between 4/8-10/20. I don't know if I can play straight Badugi for hours on end.

Yeah I totally understand and I think thats going to be my biggest issue here, but I can't afford to play 4/8 Omaha/HE =(

I will be playing 2/4 FL so I'm assuming the attitude of the player is probably much different than someone that would be playing 5/10NL etc.

I appreciate everything all you guys/gals have contributed to my request today, more than you think! Have eased my mind tremendously!

chit chat is fine. I talk it up when I'm NOT in a hand because it keeps me sane and helps me gather information about the other players. Leave the bad beat stories at home though.

Madmaniac, Jerseys and I met someone tonight at David Burke and I cannot for the life of me remember his screenname.....Golf something???

I really should not play after 12am. What was it??? The Gremlins that turned into monsters after midnight? That's me.

Ten high draw is no good? Sounds like the nuts to me!

ummm, if you can afford to play 4-8 badugi why can't you afford to play 4/8 Omaha? and FWIW, I was playing HORSE a while ago and we tried to add 2-7 TD to the mix and the dealer told us FW doesn't spread draw games.

I have personally never played a mixed game and I have not familiar with them, and if the betting structure stays the same, which would make sense, then yeah that would be no problem at all if it was FL. But anything other than FL would be unfeasible for me

I love poker

I saw the diamond flush vs jacks full of deuces hand. Villian was in BB and you were the button. I thought villian bet river and you raised for value. Am I wrong?

I did, but the villain in this case is very loose and a local legend. I am raising for value and expecting to get called by a random Jx or lower flush, folding to a re-raise. I took him off a boat because he flatted me with 2 pair on the flop, which I cannot fathom.

But no, I was SB and Villain was BB. Small single-raised pot, I check-raised the river.

The second time, I bet and was flatted at a 2/5 game.

Non-MGM guests need to pay to use the fitness room. Ditto pool.

That's what I was thinking. I wanna give 2/5 a try, but would def stay away if the table had 4 people at it. One a woman and another a kid in a skynyrd hoodie.

the wednesday 200$ bounty at 6pm is a good value. 15k chips with a 50$ bounty and great structure for the money.

Wish the people that run the room read the 1-3 plo at Aria board.

1-3 game with 200-600 buy in range plo or plo8 would be awesome.

With deep stacks 10 high flush draws would not be the nuts

After thinking about it, it was not the same orbit. Pat was in the bb the first time and sb the 2nd

I was in that. I still found it to be heavy on the AIs after the first break. Standard out for me AIPF, AQ vs. 66 and a 6 right out the door.

I personally didn't enjoy the format, plus it doesn't help to be running bad in MTTs. I don't know what a quality hand looks like in those. But the bounty mtt > standard deep stack mtt they have during the week.

As to the player looking to play the $80 turbo, don't waste your time.

I am certain I was the BTN the second time and that I was BTN for more than one hand because people got up and sat down in the middle of our blinds.

In either case, if we were 10-handed, it would have been one orbit >_<

I know there's been lots of talk about the weekly points but just so those know,I received the monthly mailing from Foxwoods today in the mail. My points are still offered to me. It is not showing up on the website but I'm inclined to believe the mailer.
