How many of the other players using their phones at the table were texting others at the table?? You weren't singled out - you singled yourself out with your action. Amazing that someone who plays on regular basis wouldn't mind other players texting each other at the table.

$1 @ 10, 1 @ 20 (extra 1 for Stud BBJ @ 20) 1@ 30 and 1@ 80 and capped. total $5 rake with BBJ. Game is super nitty and tight that pots rarely reach 80 bucks. I think the 1-5 game gets bigger pots at times lol

Rich parents....awful player....

Also, in the 10/20 OE you will find a lot of people walking during one game or the other

Can't wait for mass to get poker Foxwoods floor proves again they have no idea what they are doing. Learn the rules you donkey managers

So was that really a 25/50nl that was running the other day? Or was it just a typo in the Bravo system?

It was a 10-20 they bumped to 25-50....only ran for a few hours short handed

Played 2/5 at fw all day yesterday. Was my first time playing that game there.

Does anyone else think its ******ed that if you move tables when above the max BI, you have to chip down to the max? It just gives an easy and built in way for anyone to rathole

It seems ******ed to think otherwise.

Meh I understand your point but usually the people switching tables are either good players who you don't really mind not being deep or losing regs that want to switch tables because they "keep getting sucked out on" or cards are dead at that table or whatever so they are usually losing already.

FW treats a transferring player as a new player hence the buy in cap is set to the normal cap, if your table breaks you can bring whatever you have to your new table.

I haven't really seen anyone abuse this but I suppose it could be.

My $.02.

1. You two texting at the table is wrong. Push back from the table and text away. Perception is everything here. I once played a hand at FW where the two other people (man and a woman) both knew each other well. The other man and I ended up allin. The woman folded and showed her cards as a gesture that there was no collusion. I really appreciated it.
2. Others texting and not getting called on it is also wrong. Equal treatment here is essential.
3. Telephone rings, hangup or push back from the table. Again, there should be equal treatment of all.
4. Floors - different rulings and attitude varies. Like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.

got my christmas card with $25 gift card in it from FW today, holla

seen her, i'm a married man so no interest but like velour suites on chicks so it's entertaining

Am I the only one that thinks the structure that FW changed to for the MegaStacks sucks?

If it is good please explain.

I don't see why anyone would pay $600 to play in a tournament that starts with 30minute levels and increase with time. It prolongs the later stages that are dominated by pre-flop moves and reduces the play when deep and you can play post-flop. I get it may speed things up, but why do/should I care about that - I'd rather play deep longer.
I prefered it when you got a starting level of 45-50 minutes and stayed there.

yea the 30 min til level whatever is terrible and there's not a single defensible reason for it, especially since its a 2 day event

ooch you were pulled aside and told to stop texting so that the floor could show the person that complained that they did something about the problem. Is this fair? No. But life isn't fair. the reason the floor pulled you aside is because people complaining to them about collusion is a pain in the ass for them. he doesn't care that you're texting at the table, he cares that people are complaining about you colluding. So he can A.) Tell the complainer that you aren't colluding (This will rarely work) or B.) Tell you to stop texting. He chose B. I hope you can see why. The floor doesn't have it out for you. It's not personal, he is just trying to shut up this annoying complainer in the easiest way possible for him.

Easy solution, stop making it obvious that you are texting another player at the table. Or better yet, just stop for the time being untill the complainer is no longer at the table. Often times it's easier to just go with the flow instead of trying to get justice.

Also, why get so worked up about this? Life isn't fair, complainers always get their way because they are f-ing annoying. so you can either live your life like them, or rise above them. There is no way that you will be banned from texting at the table in the future, and you can keep texting other players at the table. Just don't make it obvious.

Quick ? Playing a 2/5 game and pot is like 7 way. I am in sb and check raise a mp bet on flop and utg +2 raises all in. MP asks how much I have behind (I have one stack of green and one stack of red, no bills) and I lean back to let him clearly see what I have.

He is an obnoxious prick so I don't tell him how much I have and just point at my chips. After he asks 3 times, dealer counts out my chips and gives mp a count? Is dealer out of line here or am I for not giving him a count?

No one is out of line. He has the right to know exactly how much you have, however you have the right to be silent during the hand. Therefore it is the dealer's job to count down your chips if a player wants an exact count.

I'm not sure if the rules allow the dealer to count down his stack, but you're right that he (player) does not have to answer any inquiries about his stack, provided that all big chips and bills are visible.

Wooooo being green!

A wise man once sang "It's not easy being green" but then again he did date a pig

IME the dealer isn't required to count down your stack in a cash game unless you're already all-in. You certainly don't have to tell him either. I can see how some think it's a courtesy thing, but I err more on the side of it's just someone trying to get a tell out of you.

How did you know it was $25. Mine doesn't say how much it is for

Actual rule on this at FW (last time I asked):
1. You are not required to count down your own stack,
2. Dealer is not only allowed, but required, to count it if you won't (even if you are not already allin).

I'm really not getting "so worked up about this". I didn't post about the situation for sympathy, I just wanted to see how others felt on the issue.
