Has anyone stayed at the Two Trees Inn before? Seems to be the cheapest FW property hotel. I'm looking to come up for two nights next week just for poker, don't need a fancy hotel or crazy amenities. Definitely my best option is to book there, right?

I used to stay there its not bad. If you have a car try the Belissimo Grande its a mile or two down the road. Its cheaper and they take your points

Is what's happening right at this moment.
Current live Omaha (and other games) in the room:

- 1-2 PLO (1)
- 1-2 PLO8 (1)
- 5-10 Omaha8 FK (down to 1 game, there was a second earlier)
- 5-10 HORSE (1)
- 100-200 OE (1)
Alsocheard them call a 15-30 OE but not sure if that went

Omaha is getting some love at Foxwoods tonight!

The 5-10 horse is surprising. I might've joined it if I were down there. Hopefully it's going on during FPC time.

This is what I've read in books about comps. That it is usually 20% of what they figure to win from you. At 60 hands per hour $1000 in action is about $15 per hand. So $20 expected at 2% of the action is about $4 an hour in comps which is about what I have experienced.

In the other example, $100 a hand for 60 hands (probably more with one player) is $6000*.02*.20= 24 points per hour.

Not sure if they have different win percentages for different levels of play, or different comp returns, but you get the general idea.

Was kind of sad. I went to talk to the dream rewards people. The lady took my card and then suddenly said, "Srry we take this, here's your new card" and she hands me one of the new cards. I was like, "oh gee thanks."

(I hope FW mgt. reads this.)
Benefits from Crown card are pretty minimal, but King card starts to be worthwhile. Ace card would still appear to require a serious amount of non-poker gaming.
Has anyone worked out the least -EV /pt method of amassing additional points through non-poker play? I'd guess it would be either video poker or blackjack, each played optimally. It would be interesting to know what your expected loss/point would be in order to pick up a few hundred (or thousand) additional points.

We were discussing that at the table today. While it may seem easier needing only 10 points to count towards getting king, you would still need to play 7 hours at 1.5 points a day for 250 days or maybe 225 days to qualify. Or if you played an average of 40 hours a week and gather 60 points a week, it would take 42 weeks. That's a lot of poker. If you travel a ways to get to Foxwoods and even if you have 2 free nights a week, you'd need a plan how to stay somewhere a couple of other nights each week.

Well, it is a lot of poker, but a lot of us play a lot of sessions in a year which are >7 hours but <10 hours. At least these will count now....

They don't want poker players getting premium rewards cards.

When I got my new card I only presented my ID. I didn't hand them my old card in case they would keep it.

Still trying to get info on the Bounty Survivor tomorrow. How many people does it usually get? Bounties are 25 each?

How many runners has the $230 super bounty on Wednesday nights been getting?

Also, any idea of the average runners for the $180 deep stack on Thursdays?

Thanks.

Confirmed. New point minimums for Wild/Crown/King/Ace/Royal are 0/0/10/25/100. This went into effect a few days ago, and is retroactive back to Oct 1st.

HORSE was fun but nittier than hell. The attraction of getting to play some different games fell by the wayside as we realized that we were schelpping the same $50 around the table. All of the games were full kill ($100 pot) and I think we had 4 kill pots in 2 hours.

I'm curious as to what went down on the stud tables today that brought pretty much half the floor people together to congregate and huddle up.

Crazy PLO game today but I couldn't get on it till after the crazies went home.

Arrived at Foxwoods 30 minutes ago. There was five $2-$5 tables running and 27 people on the list.

I'm still waiting - still 5 tables running, now 35 people on the list.

Why cant Foxwoods ever have the right amount of dealers working?

The list for $1-$2 is 47 deep. All limit holdem games have a 10+ person list. All stud games have large lists.

Its a madhouse here and all they need to do is get more dealers in here ( lots of empty tables)

I think that they need more dealers come in at 2 instead of 4. The last few Sundays the wait list is outrageously long from 2-4. Then there is open seating. Silliness

Place is packed and juicy! Ive never had an $800 hourly before. I kinda like it

Thanks for reminding me about the mug!

It seems lately all the action comes in around 1-4 on Sundays. But they also pulled some dealers to tournament at 11am cause there was a line of 70 people deep to register
