Does anyone have a sense for what to expect from this WSOP Circuit series based on past experience? Thinking about playing one of the multi-day weekend events and would be interested to know how crazy Saturday morning registration is going to be etc. Thanks!

What is your recommendation to avoid loosing time? Register earlier Saturday morning? Register the day before?
Also, are there much more people on day 1d compared to day 1c?
Thanks!

Last flight always has a decent amount. But that 1c will also be crazy busy.

Lines move decently quick. But getting there 30 min prior to an hour will benefit you reg.

Have they been running sit-n-goes since they moved the tournament desk to the dungeon downstairs?

Have not heard any announcements over the speakers. With the WSOP-c coming, you think they would try and do some before the 1st event

I (and many others) got an e-mail a couple weeks ago from EPT (Pub Poker League) indicating Foxwoods had let them know about the tourney floor changes, and that FW would not be able to accommodate the EPT 36k championship event that had been scheduled for late October. They are deciding on moving it to Mohegan or one of the other EPT partner locations.

Does this event not typically bring in a boat load of players ?

Surprised they would not / could not accommodate the event based on how many players this typically brings in.

I hope the EPT players decide on moving it back to MA.

EPT is exploring bringing it to mohegan, using a ballroom set up. Obviously the poker room is too small to handle it. Hope this happens as the cash games at foxwoods those weekends were amazing.

That wouldn't appear to be financially feasible. They charge an arm and a leg for use of their ballroom. The other issue would be the inability to staff dealers for another 40-50 tables on top of Mohegans regular room.

I agree it would be great for the cash games but I have trouble envisioning Mohegan being a viable option.

From what I can tell, that space will still be used for the really big tournaments. The upcoming WSOP events are going to be up there. The reason the regular daily tournaments down there was to get them more visibility. Cash players can more easily see how many tables are going and are more likely to register.

I liked the upstairs model.....

Hopefully they at least separate the tournament tables from the cash games a bit more than in the past....

^This... I'm zero percent more likely to enter a tourney because its being played in the back of the dungeon. As usual Foxwoods: stupid idea!!!

But there are people who play both cash and tourneys. This move makes it more convenient for them.

My guess is they plan to mothball the area, just like they did with part of the Rainmaker Casino.

I was at fw last night playing 1-2 nl.

The games were awful- the worst I've ever seen them. At times they played ridiculously tight. Very few large stacks. A lot of stuck, angry players...too, more than I've ever seen. Few drinking, having a good time, there to gamble, etc... most people were there to win. More people buying in short than usual. Most people only willing to part w/ 1 or 2 buyins. I played at 4 tables over 14 hours.

Personally, I'm done with 1/2. If I have to try and beat serious players, might as well play bigger.

That being said the game is still very beatable.

Because they can't walk up a flight of stairs?

Does Stud ever run Hi-Lo as low as 5/10?
