$365 Omaha Eight or Better at 5pm on Friday 3/29.

The WSOPC Main Event - is there 2 flights on the Saturday? 1A at 11am and 1B at 7pm? The all remaining players from each flight join on Sunday for Day 2? Am I reading that correctly?

That's what it looks like, I'm assuming 7 hours for each day 1 flight with bagging and resetting the tournament area.

Looked at the FPC schedule vs the WSOPC and the juice is up on the WSOP event. A $400 FPC event is 350/50 vs the $365 WSOPC at 310/55. I'm assimg the reason is because if longer levels. Is paying 2.5% more juice worth it? If I'm only playing one 365 or 400.00 event between the two events which would you choose?

I'm partial to the PLO tourney so may be a non issue anyway. But if it between the 400 FPC and the 365 WSOPC which would you choose?

I'd opt for the FPC there.

Is it up vs. a Standard Foxwoods Event, or up vs. a Standard WSOP-C event ? My understanding was that the juice was a bit lower than the normal WSOP-C event, but have not looked at it closely.

If your only playing one event.....could go either way......but some reasons to play the WSOP-C...In addition to structures, you also have the possibility of getting a ticket to the WSOP National Championship via winning an event, or leading the points race for the series.....plus the bigger fields/prizepools....and you might win a WSOP-C Ring (if that means anything to ya

Ive been talking to the new tournament director about having both the FPC and the WSOP-C events going back to back. Just an FYI to everyone- as of right now WSOP-C is a 1 year thing. Foxwoods would obviously like to extend it, but as of right now it is a 1 time thing.

As for which is better, I would pay the extra vig and go for WSOP-C. I believe that Mohegan Sun is going to be running their version of the mega stacks at the same time as the FPC, which is going to hurt the events drawing power even more.

Not to mention that more people are going to skip the FPC and wait for the WSOP a week later. Prize pools are going to be better for the WSOP overall, so I think it should be an easy decision for you.

I would assume the WSOP brand would probably bring in some very soft players as well, something the FPC won't.

DeepStacksPokerTour comes back to MS at same time of FPC. (add to this the WSOP-C at Caesars AC....a lot going on in March)....they overlap each other, but in a way that ones main event is not really conflicting w/anothers (except DS/MS vs. WSOP C in AC)(but that's not really a conflict IMHO).

WSOP-C @ Caesars-AC 2/28 - 3/11
DSPT@MS 3/4 - 3/11
FPC 3/4 - 3/17

I think we will see a lot of players driving from one venue to the other in CT, picking & choosing the best events.....from 3/4 - 3/11 then all eyes on Foxwoods from 3/11 - 3/17

The last DSpT event at MS was marred by awful dealing and I think that will hurt them this time around. Hopefully they come up with some type of solution by then.

Limit o/8. A very different being.

and now with re-entries, it's going to make the the tournament near the end or the re-entry period a calamity.

Hey everyone, I am looking to go to foxwoods this weekend. rooms are ridiculously expensive. I just want to bring my boyfriend down for some black jack and slots...anyone know of any good promo codes? Last May I brought a friend last minute for his 21st during cinco de mayo and got $199 mgm room w. a promo code. PLEASE HELP it would be amazing!

This... I don't plan on playing any Mohegan events ever again after they robbed everyone during this past Deepstacks series. Hopefully others will remember this

Was there an overlay they refused to pay or what?

He's referring to the fact that they used almost all brand new dealers that didn't know what they were doing. So the pace was very slow, lots of mistakes made, etc... all leading to far too few hands/level. Lots of people were strongly complaining about it.

after looking at the wsop-c schedule i can say i probably wont be playing any of those events...i like the starting stacks and guaratnees of the megas much more....also, no one is going to be playing those $250 mega supers for the wsop-c....with the WPF, the FPC, the mega series, and all the holiday events, im not so sure foxwoods even needs the wsop-c

I guess if your definition of "robbed" was having a 30K overlay in the $600, adding 3 blind levels almost instantly once people complained, having a softer field, and having all the 11am events having competent dealers (excluding the $400, because that was such a big field) - then I guess they can "rob" me as much as they want.

I played in all of the deep stack events and I found the tournament staff to be very professional, and the only time I felt like I wasn't getting my money's worth (or Juice's worth I guess) was during the $400 and during a satellite, when both times the dealers were horrible and someone didn't even know a flush beats a straight. When I played in the main (2.5K), and the $600 the day after every single one of my dealers was an experienced dealer who I had either recognized from cash games or was clearly experienced by the way their dealt and carried themselves.

But you guys love to hate on MS and convince people not to go, which is fine for me (someone who plays at BOTH casinos) because it makes their fields even softer (although not as big). I don't understand why people don't get that the success of BOTH poker rooms could only help the poker economy here in CT. Just like anything else, healthy competition in tournament series can only be good for us, the players. I would theorize that DS returning to MS on a permanent basis would be a net gain for Foxwoods, but there is no way to prove that either way at this point I guess.

edit: I was going to say I think they may cancel it anyway, but it appears they just pushed it back a few weeks and now its in-between the two series here.

I havent played at fw in a long time. I went back there monday night - last night and did a marathon session at 2/5. I wish all the tourist/rec/regs would play at MS instead (i like Ms poker room better). The 2/5 seems softer at fw and it runs 24 hours for a monday-tues night. The 2/5 at MS breaks in the morning sometimes.

I have never played at Foxwoods before, but I am thinking about coming up this Sunday to play the $230 MTT at 11am (part of the mini holiday series) with a couple of friends.

Does anyone familiar have any idea how many runners that event is likely to get (including re-entry).

Thanks.

Last year this tournament was a super-bounty, and there were also no re-entries. But it got 142 runners.

You can see past results of the holiday events (and other series if you click over to the right) right on the website: http://www.foxwoods.com/holidayevents.aspx

Will cash games this Sunday (1/2 and 2/5) during the day be better or worse with the Patriots game on that evening?

Dear FW regs, could u all please pull your heads from their firm positions in your anal cavity and STOP berating bad plays? I know it sucks to lose but why the hell do u guys make bad players self conscious and defensive? Do you think it helps your hourly?... Also, if people want to straddle in Omaha and make it $5 instead of $4, why the heck do u freak out and result in no straddles? It's easier for the dealers, inflated the pot and puts dead money in, what is the issue with it?! Accept change, don't fear it. Especially with the game of the future :-) / rant

Anyone wanna get a Crazy Pineapple going this weekend?

The berating bad players syndrome is not unique to FW. It's a worldwide epidemic and near impossible to control.

As for the $5 straddle in PLO, I believe the chief antagonist in this story is a poster here. Maybe they could chime in and explain their aversion to the extra dollar.

A lot of it is ignorance/obliviousness/indifference. But even the most logical and rational people can succumb to their emotions at times.

It's been argued ad nauseum. It's the 1 guy vs everyone else, and he's not changing. So there's no point in rehashing this. Yes he's a poster here but hasn't logged in for a few weeks.

Will Foxwoods run Pineapple?

As a dealer I can attest that making PLO a red chip game post flop not only makes the game much easier to deal, but it does wonders for game flow (a lot of people wanna bet pot but don't want to shout out "Derp Pot!" so they sit and think of the exact dollar amount). This also applies to the straddle IMO. It just makes the math easier for all involved. Anything that makes the game faster and more fish friendly is a winner. I realize my post has been argued ad nauseum in the past so I apologize for the redundancies, its just mind blowing to me that people are so unwilling to get out of their own heads re: Hey you! Ya you! That was a terrible play getting ur money in so bad against me then getting there! You should play it this way next time so you can felt me!

I know that they have gotten pineapple off (in fact they called that over a deep wait list for plo8). Could easily have been an isolated incident. I personally think it would be a ton of fun with lots of gambol gambol
