How do you know if they have a big pair or just some AJish hand they wanted to se a flop with?

can't say i play them that way all the time, but sometimes I like to keep the pot small with them depending on the game, I can also tell you this, when I'm raking a large pot in 1/2 or 2/5 NL it's not with AA, KK or QQ, thats for sure.

It happens a lot at 1/2. Since people are prone to stack off with TP, they think that they can trap with an over pair or if the betting gets hot and heavy on the flop, they can fold cheaply.

Just enjoy that they do it.

I never call a raise with those hands, but if I'm UTG or in a position with a lot of action behind, and the tables been playing spewy, I'm limping AA or KK, QQ not so much. The other night at Mohegan in the Wednesday $200 Special I limped AA utg at 4k-8k 1k and 9 people away from the money. By the time it got back to me 2 people we're already all-in. Vedddddddddy niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

It's a position play, but if I have AA or KK and someone raises their is no shot in hell I'm flatting him unless I know his range is 10's-KK. If some old nit who hasn't played a hand in 6 downs raises to 25 in 2-5 I'm flatting in postion everytime, but if some aggressive spewtard in a 1-2 game makes it 16, good chance I'm making it $35-45 and my aggressive image will always get me a call or maybe a 4-bet. Take it as you will, but it's worked for me thus far.

whats the cap on the new sun 9am 10kGRT 250 players or so?ill be there 730 to be safe

nah man..do you know a reg named maurice ?good guy good player always there when i go

How do you get grocery/gas cards?? Does it come from your comp dollars or is it something else?

I've always bought them with points from the Rewards Store by the Hard Rock Cafe. They're not discounted (87 points for $50, I think) so you wouldn't buy them any other way.

Anyone play Friday night? I waited an hour for a $2/5 table! Of course, with all the touristy fish in the room, I get placed at the table with the regs! I recognized at least 3 of them...and for some reason, I am all superstitious about moving tables, so there I sat all night. I was happy to be up $50 @ the end of the night.

But all in all, I know i missed out by not changing tables. One transfer came over and proceeded to tell me about this guy that dropped 12 BI's at 1 table. He said every single player was in the black, except for this guy. And the best part was...the guy didn't even care.

I gotta get over this stupid habit!

yeah cheezy, its especially important at 2/5, make sure you are playing in a good game, at 1/2 same thing.....just give it an hour or two and then make your move.

when is the next open at foxwoods? also, what will the room rates be? and what kind of n/l holdem games do u spread during the events?

next event http://www.foxwoods.com/MegaStack.aspx

I know this is a noob question, but what is the best way to ask for a table change? How does it work if there is a waiting list for the game?

Approach the floor and tell them you would like a table change. They will do it immediately then, if not the next available opportunity. If the floor person does not get back to you and ignores you, ask someone else or remind them. Some floor won't really go out of their way to help you with this as much, so just be aware of who is willing to assist you and who isn't in this scenario.

and keep an eye on the table that you want. Don't assume the staff has time to come get you.

Table selection is important. I was lucky enough to be on a table Sat night with an older wealthy man who was crazy aggro shoving almost any river. His strategy worked for a long time getting everybody to fold marginal hands. He was up about 6 BI at one point. But he never adjusted and eventually everybody was check/calling their strong hands (and even some marginal ones) to him on the river. He eventually hung himself for at least 9 BI.

At the same table, a player donated ~4 BI with plays like this: Call a river shove with KQo on A234x board thinking that QKA23 is a straight. Call 2 AIPF with Q5o cuz I am leaving and want to gambool. Nice guy that should really be playing 2/4 limit.

This table was like 4 to 6 players from 2am to 6am with lots of money on it. A few other 2/5 tables were mostly full. It was surprising that more people weren't looking for a table like this. We had the fish all to ourselves!

There seemed to be a few good spots @ every table. Definitely some solid players to avoid. But this all becomes apparent after a few orbits. So much easier than 6max online.

not only is table selection important but also to consider the time you are playing and of course if it's a weekend or holiday vs. a weekday.

in my experience lately the 1/2 and 2/5 games at the woods start to heat up around 4PM on saturday, and of course 5/6PM on friday. Sunday I find it slow until 2/3 ish. i dont even waste my time playing during the week unless I happen to have the day off.

You go up to the Floor and ask to be put on a transfer list - unless you see a specific table that has an open seat - then just ask to move to that table.

I always do this discreetly. I prefer that the other players not be alerted to how bad their current table is.

Also, at FW, there should be a list that the Floor adds your initials/name to, so that when a seat opens up they should be consulting their list to see if somebody will be transferring before bringing in a new player. A transfer should always be granted before anybody is brought in off of a waiting list.

In the 1/2 NL world there are so many tables that it should happen quickly and if for some reason, if the Floor forgets about you or their list, just wait for the next announcement for a 1/2 player and approach the Floor immediately. I have never tried to transfer tables in a 1/2 NL game because I only play that game while waiting for a 20/40 LHE seat - so I don't know how they work it or if they even keep a list for that game.

One time I asked to be put on a transfer list in a 20/40 game and the Floor took my initials. I look up some minutes later and a new guy is sitting at the other 20/40 table. It is 1am my game sucks and I am very very angry because the other game is great. So I pull the current Floor over and ask why I wasn't told about the empty seat. So she shows me the empty transfer list, tells me that the guy who came from a must move game has already played a hand and is now entitled to stay (and he didn't want to change tables), and I go ballistic. It turns out that the first Floor neglected to put me on the list because he knew me and my request. Then he took a 20 minute break and forgot about it. I took it to the Floor Supervisor who upheld the ruling but made sure that the first Floor came back and apologized to me. That is Foxwoods in a nutshell.

Position, player tendencies, your image, stack sizes, and table dynamics are super important. Never say never.

I did notice a lot of open limping this past w/e at an aggro 2/5 table that seemed to work extremely well. This was because there was a guarantee of a raise and some callers after (maybe even 3-bet). This is sometimes important if you are on a table where a raise can usually get 3 or 4 callers. It sux when you play a multi-way bloated pot OOP with AA, KK deep-stacked. I want it heads-up or take down a decent pot preflop.

I limped UTG with KK. UTG+1 made it $25. 3 more callers. I make it $100. Fold, fold, fold, fold. I win $107. I'll take that result every time as opposed to if I had raised and gotten 4 callers. In that case, the pot is about the same on the flop, but I am oop vs 4 people. Sure, sometimes a 1/2 or 2/3 pot bet will take it down but I'm winning about the same amount with less risk.

Another hand, I had AA in CO. MP limped. I made it $25. BN called. SB shoves for $550 with 99. I snap and win ~$1100 pot. You can understand with this dynamic, an EP limp could encounter a raise and 3-bet shove. There were many hands that got really bloated preflop. The guy next to me also open-limped EP with KK,AA a few times and won $$.

I did stack a guy in the Mohegan Summer Showdown Main Event when I open-completed the SB with KK. (this was a super tough table with lots of good players.) We got into a raising war preflop and got it in vs AQ. He didn't believe me and got stacked.

Or course, not all tables are very aggressive. I usually raise these hands. Occasionally, I change it up. Beware too much non-standard plays becomes fancy play syndrome.

Is $10,000 a large enough roll for the 20/40 OE game? How often does this game run? Is there a lot of players seeing the flop in omaha?

hey guys whats the best nights to go for 5/10nl games.

pretty solid post donk

do they have 9 or 10-max sit n goes for a decent rake, or is it something ******ed high like most other places around here?

scroll down to SNG's

i think the rake on the 60 and the 120 sng is ridic, not beatable, i think the 230 was better, not great, the 230's rarely go but when they do i try to play them....

btw, who is donking it up on dec 15 for the 340 megastack?
