Looking to go some time Dec 26-28 with friends from high school when I'm back East. Any recommendations as to best time/day to go?

Mostly cash but up for tourney if there is a good one.

I typically play 1/2 or 2/5. I'm short on BR. Wondering if the 2/5 is soft enough for me to move up for a day or two. I am average winner at 2/5 but the risk to BR doesn't outweigh the opportunity for 2/5 at my local casino.

I assume there are richer players and higher stakes games so 2/5 should be softer.

At my local casino 2/5 only goes sometimes and it's the highest stake so the best players. (in addition to some donks)

It seemed like many people were getting free room offers in December, like myself. Has anyone got any offers for January yet?

ya i got free rooms for january but some of the weeks are like sun-tue and mon-thu for some reason. like end of november they gave me the rooms then i think there was a glitch and it took em away now i got em again

The 2/5 is super duper ultra soft. Like a pillow doused in fabric softener soft.

Yes the January rooms are out. When that glitch happens, the offers are still in your account - it's just an online glitch. If you call up they can still book them. The mon-thu is probably the 1st week (you don't get sunday the 1st as it's part of the 3-day NYE weekend) and the week of martin luther king bday (3rd week? you won't get that sunday because they treat the Monday like a holiday). The sun-tue is because it hits the end of the month (tuesday the 31st).

I think it plays softer on Thursday through Saturday nights. It's quite lively and there are a bunch of players that know each other, but it's generally friendly, usually fun, and almost always profitable with a TAG ABC style. Beware though - max buyin is only 100bb.

OK. Sounds like I should plan a second trip down for Friday (30th)...

I look forward to it! I'll post here. It'd be great to meet up with someone who plays 2/5 some and knows the room.

Anyone know what happened to the guy that the paramedics took out of the poker room yesterday afternoon? He looked like a pretty young guy. Was he a dealer? He had the same color shirt.

OK. Thx.

How many would you expect for the Friday $230 on the 30th?

I've heard New Years can be a big weekend

Oh ok thx lattimer I'm a idiot and forgot a about the holidays lol

new years day is absolutely insane. i remember a few years back, when the poker room was still upstairs, i went on new years day. arrived around noon and the list for 1-2 was 350 people deep. took 5 hours to get a seat.

the rest of the week shouldnt be as bad but it will be busy since most have a few days off

Crazy 2 days. From -2.5k to +$250 at 2/5. Day 1 was spew and run bad. Day 2 was good plays and run good. Huzzah!

will be wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too hungover on the 1st too play any tourney lol coming up the 2nd and staying for a few days though

Not sure if anybody can help but was wondering when/where I could find details about the next mega stack in Feb. Event BIs/gaur's etc. Prob just gonna mirror the feb '11 series but just wanted to check.

Thx

just check the website after the new years, I doubt they will have anything posted before then. Think the first event is saturday feb 4th. it will probably be the 600

FYI, they will also have some nice tourneys President's Day weekend..info should be on website soon.

^ that BSOD'd me for some reason

I had no problem with it.

Sigh, got zero room offers for January, back to them not giving a **** about me

Wow, is there really a 25-50NLH game going right now?? AND a 10-20NL game too? Saw them on the live game report here: http://www.foxwoods.com/PokerCurrentTables.aspx

There's no 10-20nl. But yup looks like 25-50nl.

What are other peoples thoughts on this?

Apparently me and jpsychlady collude at 2/5:

Last night halfway through our session, one of the dealers who is temporarily acting as a floor tells me to stop texting while at the table. Anyone who plays 2/5+ knows that you can text while you are at the table, as long as you are not in a hand... so I think nothing of it and continue playing, brushing the incident off at her being inexperienced/nervous. 20-30 minutes later the shift supervisor taps me on the shoulder and asks to speak with me away from the table. I step aside and he tells me if he sees me using my phone again while at the table he will kick me out of the poker room. At this point I'm shocked, as I have sent thousands upon thousands of text messages while sitting at the 2/5 tables, and know many others who have done the same. I tell him just that, and instead of explaining himself he just says the same thing to me again, adding "no electronics at the table". (Note: 3 players were listening to music and one was on the phone as he was saying this to me)

After we racked up and cashed out I asked the dealer acting as a floor what the shift supervisors name was, as I was planning on talking to some body above him to get an actual ruling (since FW changes their rules almost daily). Instead of giving me his name she says "one of the players at your table told us you two were colluding". I ended up getting the dealer/floor's name, and the shift supervisors name... but I'm not really sure if it's worth pursuing or not.

Important details:

Both me and jpsychlady were sending texts
Me and jpsychlady had not squeezed anyone out of any pots, and had played at most 2 or 3 pots multiway post flop with other players
Both of us were stuck at the time of the floor accusing us of colluding

Were you ever texting while one or both of you were in a hand?

can someone tell me what the real rule is.
we are at a table short handed two players are at dinner and have been away for 15-20min
the three remaining players agree to bust the table and consolidate
the floor draws cards for the players at dinner there are 3 seats open two go on the list she draws A J for the absentee players ...I know i suck because I cant even outdraw a player away from the table
i say the players at dinner should be first and second on the list like the floor will do if you advise that you are taking a dinner break and the three players there should take the three open seats
she says no two live players go on the list (in full disclosure I am one) while the absentee players seats are locked up
This makes no sense to me the short handed tables stay seat empty -less tips possibly smaller pots less rake etc
and the real rule is.....?
