So I had a great weekend at the woods. I'm gonns be grinding a lot more this summer and spending long days there. Any cool people here ge together for food etc? I'm not overly talkative st the table but would love to make a friend or two away front the tables this summer. What's fun to do down there aside from going to car and smoking weed.

Same deal for me. Will use up rooms for June, then see you in Sept.

Started the plo game shorthanded on Friday around 2pm, Left at 4:30 in the morning. Everytime I've looked online since then it's been running with names on the list. Is it possible the game has gone days without breaking? GOTF!!!

Just booked for this Wed and Thur - Keep the plo going - the fish is returning

I'll probably be shot-taking 5/10 NL a bunch this coming June, a couple general questions:

a.) I've never played in a time game in my life - I assume you just toss in $7 every time there's a dealer change? And when you sit down halfway through do you get a freeroll until the next timepot or do you have to immediately put up the $7?
b.) How does tipping work, since 5/10 doesn't really have white chips? Do I just ask the dealer to give me change for a red every time I want to tip them?

There are red lights on the ceiling that turn on at the half hour (when dealer changes occurs) those are to alert dealers that its time to collect time.

If there was open seating at a time game and u sat down halfway thru the dealers push, you're getting a 15 minute freeroll.

And IF you get up for dinner and decide to leave your chips on the game, $7 will be taken off your stack for every half hour.

Was that helpful enough?

Correct. It's $7/half and if you join the game after it has been collected and dropped you don't pay until the following half. If you join the game after it has been collected but not dropped then you pay. Also, if you are on a must move and are next to move you have the option to pay before taking your new seat. As far as tipping is concerned, usually you just ask for change as whites don't play. Hope this helps, and good luck see you at the tables.

i heard a lot of them were sticking around on the east coast based on recent table talk, but you should be fine. you play mornings or evenings?

Timed games can often have one person pay time for table too. I don't know how common that practice is in 5/10 at Foxwoods but the table agrees that whomever wins next pot over $x then pays time for the table.

Aka, time pot. Not sure if they still do them but in the past only players who agreed would be in the time pot and you could opt out and simply pay 7 a half instead. Time pots favor the tighter players as far as I can tell.

We would regularly do this at Mohegan and some would pay their own but I liked it. Definitely favors the tighter players. Afaik, it's rarely if ever done at Foxwoods.

Timed games don't favor anyone. Raked games favor tight players because they are involved in less pots.

This is a semantic argument, but if rake favors tight players then time must favor loose players. And a time pot favors tight players again.

I lost all my offers for June for the first time in like 2 years. Is it worth checking with the rewards desk to see why or not? I haven't change any of my normal degen gambling activities.

I don't think they will be able to tell you why based on my understanding from this thread.

Anyone else been playing the Saturday $300 $25k gtd? Today had ~110 players with probably 50+ reentries. First paid a cool ~$11k. Pretty good considering the play is laughably bad. Sucks they skip a few levels but eh, still decent value imo.

played it yesterday. and won it. whoo hoo. we chopped when it got 3 handed but since I had 2.6 million in chips, and the other 2 players had about 700K each, I got the brunt of the money.

$10,250

and they each got like $5,400.

oficial payouts were: (from what i can remember) 1. = $10,900 2. = $5,300 3. ~ $4,500

I know at least one of the other final 3 was a 2+2'er and a nice guy. It was a fun day - won almost all my races, made some timely bluffs, and some good lay downs. no complaints here. good structure - will play again
