They ran it 2 days in March for the first time ever. Nothing for April. And another 2 days this month. No idea if this will be a recurring promo or not.

Can someone please explain the difference between points and tier credits?
Also, what the perks are for "Gold" and how long you retain that status before having to complete the prerequisites again?

From what I was reading in this thread I believe I saw that reward points (1.7pts/hr at the poker tables) can be accrued to be redeemed as cash/etc. Whereas tier credits go towards ranking up and have no cash value.

I recently started playing 1/2NL and will most likely break the 133hrs to reach Gold this is the reason for the question.

Thank you!

Your understanding of the difference between points and tier credits is correct. All of your answers are provided in the link I posted just a few posts ago: https://www.foxwoods.com/rewards-faq/

Ugh, I'm sorry.

Hey, I'm a frequent player at foxwoods and was just wondering why no one ever wants to player lower stakes PLO? 1-2 or even 2-2

I love PLO and think it's the best game in the casino. However I don't really have the BR to play 2/5 and 5/5

I think it's very strange that a higher stake version of the same game goes way more frequently

Do they offer safety deposit boxes?

Yes.

Anyone know what the deal is with the June 4 and June 11 WSOP qualifiers. Do these $1,200 tourneys wrap up in one day? Do you have to use the $10k seat? How does that work, do they transmit the buyin directly to the WSOP?

Thanks for reply.

Do you need to get on a waitlist, be a resident, etc.?

I have a safe deposit box. As far as I know they are available to anyone with identification. There is a $50 deposit. You get two safe deposit keys, but you only need to bring one key and your ID to get access to the box. You are supposed to use the deposit box once a calendar month. You get the $50 deposit back when you turn in the two keys. Ask about the deposit boxes at the poker cashier.

Yes they send the 10K direct to the WSOP.
You also get $2500 cash
and you must play it.
also they are one day events.

I'm with you. I don't like playing 2-5 too often, but love PLO. The problem is that 2-5 plays very big and as a recreational player these days I want to avoid that level.
I guess the 2-5 runs more often because it is attractive to the high stakes NLH players, whereas the typical 1-2 NLH player is stuck in their rut unwilling to try new things.

FYP

that's what I get for posting here when I'm tired

Most FW PLO players don't want to play in a PLO game with a $60 minimum buyin.
Having said that, 1/2PLO does go occasionally, and usually has at least a list. If you want to play it, get your name on the list, get some others to put their names on the list, pester the floors into actually calling the game, and be prepared to start it shorthanded.

Ya, I usually do put my name on the list and have started it short handed more than a couple times. I have no issues playing 4 handed or so. I'll be there this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday if you all wanna try and start it.

Awesome! I'll be here Monday and Tuesday. I am also willing to start the 1/2 PLO game short handed. See you then!

I think it's a money management, ego, and volatility problem.

- 2/5 and 5/5 players won't lower themselves to playing a 1/2 game;
- players properly rolled for 1/2 NLHE may not be properly rolled for a 1/2 PLO game, and let's be honest, few players are properly rolled for their game of choice anywway;
- PLO is far more swingy and the 1/2 game will break fairly quickly unless people are willing to drop 5 buy-ins (and a 1/2 player is usually not willing to do that) or there needs to be a decent list;
- At a 1/2 PLO table, when the game has been running for a while, there will be some disproportionately large stacks. That will dissuade a typical 1/2 rec from joining the game.
- To play the game correctly, you have to be willing to get it all in with comparatively (to NLHE) little equity at times, and possibly be willing to get it all in several times in a session, for more often than in NLHE.
- Smart recs know they are huge underdogs to good players at this game. Yes, there are smart recs.

The no limit games at FW are absolutely dreadful, but PLO is the best action currently in the room and it's not close. 70% of the field (and I'm probably lowballing that) is totally clueless. It's high variance, but best bang for your buck if you take the time to learn it. Also that will be a great game to play for years to come when Wynn opens as well, so might as well learn it now.


I've also been told the stud and mixed games are often very good because alot of no limit players switched over, but those are typically bigger stakes.

If I want to specifically play no limit I go to Twin, if I want to play anything else I go to FW. Action at Twin is great, but I try to avoid it like the plague because it also happens to be the worst run poker room in the galaxy

There's still plenty of value in the FW poker room, you just have to be able to play more than no limit because the action is just not what it used to be.

When does fhe zip line open?

I know how to play PLO although I prefer NL.
I also think that the 2/5 PLO is too big of a game for me. Between the swings And how large that game runs, I would not be comfortable playing it

What stakes of NL are you referring to being dreadful? I have heard 1/2 is a ****show of short stacks and small pots, unlike Mohegan which can have some 1/2 games play bigger than 2/5 if you find the right game, but the 2/5 pool is littered with passive rec calling stations who fold to any type of aggression. You aren't playing for stacks in these type of games but they are still highly profitable with the proper discipline to take advantage of half the players at any given table.

I don't agree with the comments about Foxwoods NL games being dry. From personal experience, 2/5 NL is an easy game. Spot the regs/grinders and stay away... Either change tables or don't get creative against them.

Other than that, the 2/5 game is filled with players who should be at 1/2 NL but for whatever reason, are playing 2/5... They are unimaginative and predictable.

If you are sat at a table filled with old guys and regs, put your name on the table change list. There is always 7+ 2/5NL games going. On the weekend, 10+...



5/22/2017 Monday 10AM-10PM High Hand Madness at foxwoods. The room will be filled to the brim... Come check it out and see for yourself.

I think you are grossly over stating how many 2/5 games are running at FW at any given time. I check bravo frequently and never see more than 5-6(outside tournament time)and often seeing as few as 3

On the $500 HH days during week you'll get 6 and sometimes 7. On Non-HH weekdays it's 4-5. The only time you'll see as few as 3 are during non-peak hours and many times this is during a tournament series due to Foxwoods having a shortage of dealers as the waitlist grows.

Saturdays have been standard 8-10 games most of the day however this past Sat was only 6-7 likely due to it being the first beautiful Sat of the spring.

He may be embellishing how many games run at all times but isn't really far off on HH days which run 4x a week now.
