Was very much looking forward to playing saturday... but pushing it back until friday based on this storm. Going with Big Whoops mindset. Waste of a Saturday to head down.

Although it would be interesting to see an empty room on a Saturday.

same bbj odds...
i hope theres lots of tilted grinders stuck at fw in storm
i will probably be one of them

I remember when everyone was stuck in the January blizzard, I made my largest win at live poker ever. Sadly, I am choosing to stay home for this debacle, as people actually seem to be prepared this time.

3 games at 3 AM at 5/10 tells me that people are loading hours preparing to make an exit.

Astute reasoning there.

AC is closed, Tomm night should be packed

Is anyone else going to be brave enough to head out early this afternoon, and then try to make it back before late tonight?

Meh, I was planning on heading down early, but I'm thinking I'd rather be home to keep an eye on the house/wife/etc. The weather is gonna be much worse down at FW too, so I don't really wanna have to drive back through all that **** if it gets really nasty ahead of schedule. Sigh....lol hurricaneaments.

I considered playing and getting myself stranded there but it's probably a horrible idea.

Completely dead today. More than half the tables empty.

Wonder if they will reschedule the Luggage Gift Event......ain't no way I am making the trip down there tomorrow !!

I'm at woods right now looking to see if I can meet up with someone whose cool. Pm me.

Hey you guys might know this...i saw this black guy, in his mid 30s-40s with a WPT Jacket, he said he got it at Foxwoods..but i asked the floorman where I could buy one, he said they dont sell those. How would i go about getting one, it has a huge WPT Logo in the Back and patches on the sides, looks amazing.

Just hit a royal flush at any cash table and it's yours.

ooooh! Thanks

FARGO starts Sept. 22nd and goes through the weekend.

No. I have heard some in the group wanting a pink chip game. Not sure FW will go along. Pink chip is normally spread at the Mo.

What does "FARGO people" mean? Wells Fargo?

Foxwoods annual Rec.gambling outing.

Short TR from yesterdays Woods visit: I've been to FW during two different snow storms and I've never seen the casino as affected as it was yesterday. EVERY restaurant was closed, Rainmaker and Great Cedar casinos were closed, MGM was briefly open but allegedly they lacked running water. Only food options were the buffet and Dunks, both of which had insane lines + wait times.

The wait list for 1-2 was only 23 deep but because there were only 5 or 6 tables going, it took forever for names to be called. I was able to snipe a seat in the back (under the arches, the front part of the poker room was 90% roped off). The 2/5 wait list had 90 names on it, and according to the woman at the desk the 1st name on the list had been waiting for over 90 minutes. Because FW was being powered solely by their generators, the AC was off.

They stopped serving liquor around 5 pm, and at 6pm they announced that the WHOLE casino woukld be closing at 8pm (they eventually decided to stay open but it was crazy hearing people's reactions). To make matters worse, all 4 of the hotels were being evacuated, and people were literally being kicked out of the rooms w/ security going door to door telling people to pack up regardless of how many more nights they had booked.

Damn it, that's such a good weekend to play too and I got a wedding to attend. It's just a one week affair, right?

Ya it's just a couple days.

Jesus Christ! Amazing. Someone needs to take a course in customer service.

Why stop serving alcohol? Were they not making enough money(in their eyes) to justify the expense?

Are you serious? What if the "customer" had no other place to go because they are not local. I can't believe they would just throw them out without some recommendations such as: the Armory is open or Groton HS gym is accepting refugees.
