inb4 "cardplayer poker tour is coming in february blah blah.." structure looks like garbage IMO
Is this the end?

And it's not even comparable to Borgata or Parx.
Problem is, they just don't give a rats ass about player feedback. Play or don't play. They don't care.
Massachusetts and additional NewYork Poker Rooms may change that.....or may not. Only time will tell.
Haters are going be haters is it perfect no.. But I played both the 11 & 6pm yesterday after not playing since end of November. The Floors work hard they should look into putting auto shufflers but don't forget that auto shufflers break down. As for skipping levels and the like the 11am ended in a 8 way chop sometime around 10pm for a one day tournament I'd say thats a ton of play & value for $400 bucks. the 6pm was still two tables at midnight for a evening turbo that's good.
When I first started playing tournaments in 98 they were limit hold-em events that had 1500 starting chips and would only last 3 hours at best for about the same price point as the daily 6pm's that Foxwoods run.
Have you seen what you get at most the casino's in Vegas daily tournaments wise?
the 11am got what 125 entrants ? on a day when inland got snow so probably a lot of people decided to just stay home.
the 6pm was a 134 entrants.
They could of made the 11am a two day event but then today is NFL conference championship weekend so I don't see how much more entrants they would of got.
Add in that there is a big poker series going on in AC (who by the way the casino running it is probably going get a huge black mark on there tournaments with Chip gate going on.)
