Cancelling the tournament is certainly a possibility, as is removing the guarantee. The storm will certainly hurt attendance. As far as Two Trees, unless they shut down the hotel they won't move anyone.

BTW nice score!

Thanks brotha!
What about requesting a switch to one of the other hotels...they may even do it for the same $ amount since there will be so many cancellations, no?

It doesn't hurt to ask, but I highly doubt they'll move you for the same rate. They'll give you the poker rate or your rate, whichever is lower... but of course inside is always higher than Two Trees.

Makes sense, but was thinking that if loads of people cancel they may lower the prices significantly rather than have mostly empty rooms. Thanks for all the info.

Why didn't the 6 max get any coverage with the exception of payout numbers?

We got hu like dead even in chips, i then took 2 hours blinding him away 40k a hand, until i had him 2 to 1 in chips. i won 11 straight hands it was sick lol. then he finally shoved over a minraise when i had KK and his A4 got there....Now he had me 3/2 about, so we played anyother hour or so and i decided i cant open for 100 and 150k every hand, get called Cbet 200k and win like everypot, so then i had the chiplead in notime again, actually had him 2:1 in chips again. then he said he was real tired... I Said theres just no way i can ever chop. He limped in for 50k at 25 50k, i shoved him allin with AQ and he calledoff 1.5M more, he got there, i shook my head and was like, yeah i run horrible i shoulda chopped and won a few grand more. He then said"hey ill still chop with you" he had me by a milly or so, im like"well i cant turn that down"

and now i go to sleep, been up 29 hrs, might do the 2 day $400 on thursday, depends if i can get a plc

I was peeking in every so often from 2-4:30 when it was 5 handed and finally 3. Really surreal swing an entirely empty room outside of you guys a dealer and the floor. Congrats though!!

Hello,

I have some weeks off work and am thinking about playing 2/5 at foxwoods, but week days/nights. How many tables are usually going in those days and will I be sitting with a whole tables of regulars. Thanks in advance.

4-5 ime. No, it won't be all regulars, but there will be regs in your game (obviously).

Just checked in. Any idea how many runners the nightly $160 tourney has been getting this week? Undecided whether to play that or cash tonight. Playing the $400 megastack tomorrow

You can call the main operator and asked to be transferred to the poker tournament desk. I thought I saw 84 yesterday, but don't know if that counted re-entries.

Hey, does anyone have any insight into how the dealer situation will be in the event of a blizzard? Wondering if it's worth hunkering down at Foxwoods through the storm, but will there be enough dealers even if there are players? Also, at what point will they likely cancel or postpone the Friday & Saturday tournaments? Thanks.

Also I will be staying at the woods this thurs-sunday during mega stacks, if anyone is interested in getting the 8-16 HORSE going at some point over those days PM me. Will prob spend majority of my time playing 2/5 and 5/10 nlhe but I love mixing it up with some HORSE and I never see it running so would definitely be willing to start it with a few people (or even hu although I doubt floor would call it for a couple people) and try to get it going.

No, he was not believable.

Mega Stack tournament rate is what I meant. But according to the website there is one for the WSOPC.

No, floor could not answer that but my friend did ask.
Re: rooms again, if 50% of rooms end up cancelled and empty for Friday and Saturday night, will they lower my rate? So far they're not budging when I call. And they wouldn't even give me my comped Thursday night room (booked earlier today - Pequot) in the same hotel that my older reservation for Friday & Saturday was (Cedar).

The problem is a good portion of housekeeping is likely to call out as well. So believe it or not they'd actually prefer to keep a bunch of rooms empty. Like I always say that place makes dollars not sense.

And don't wait until you come up here. You need to use the group code when booking your room. You can't have the tournament rate applied after the fact.
