Foxwoods Resort·Casino (Mashantucket, CT) -- FAQ in OP, updated 2021.09.16 - Page 993 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The 1/3 holdem game is on the board but rarely goes AFAIK. Someone at my PLO table said it went a few times mostly populated by 2/5 holdem players but it tends to break when they start another 2/5 holdem.

The 2/5 holdem does appear to be weak at Foxwoods. Yes it can be tight and nitty at times but they need to use more sense when starting games as I'd hate to see it disappear. (it's still profitable to beat up on OMCs and nits). For example I've seen them start a second 2/5 holdem game when it was clear to anyone who pays attention that the existing 2/5 holdem game had several 2-5 PLO players in it waiting for that game to start and the 2/5 holdem list had several PLO players standing around (or killing time in 1/2 holdem) that would almost certainly take the PLO game when it started. Sure enough the PLO game starts a bit later breaking the second 2/5 holdem game which obviously pissed off a few holdem only players. Better would be to start the first 2/5 PLO game before the second 2/5 holdem "must move" game.

Foxwoods (especially during the day) has more than it's share of passive, nitty, OMCs playing 1/2 holdem. After all these years of inflation you would think 1/3 would be the small game. I wish they would promote the heck out of 1/3 holdem getting enough 1/2 holdem game players to move over and get used to it and then eliminate the 1/2. After all an open limp in a 1/3 cost about the same compared to a small order of McDonalds fries these days as an open limp in a 1/2 cost in McD fries a few years ago.

I went yesterday, no 2-5 going, played 1-2 for like 90 minutes saw about 20 pots under $10. Lol and of course they take a $2 rake. Thanks to all the solvers, training sites and such hold em is dying slowly.

In that case I sure hope it wraps up before 12am when they shut it all down.. In all seriousness this is good to see and a step in the right direction

It’s bad misregs who play for comps. They simple don’t have the money to make poker profitable at those stakes. If they do have the money, they’re going to limp all day so it’s going to take a long time to get it.

Structure sheet says an equity chop will be forced at 3:30am. Not sure if they’ll also do 3:30am for the Day 1’s but at least they understand that they’ll need to bend the rules a bit for the length of these multi-day’s.

Mohegan does this too. It must be a dealer shortage or something, because there's plenty of tables in each venue. Hell, Mohegan has like 2,000 sq ft of unused space in their poker room

The rake in the summer championship has become quite the topic on X. I think it's around 27% which is crazy

It is crazy. We can’t give them our business at that price.

I will be there because it's a 1k+ in New England so it's automatically amazingly soft and full of value but I will feel like a POS paying that kind of rake

Holy crap that’s crazy! Glad they actually listened to the players. I’m shocked they did that

Glad they listened but it’s still too f’n high. That 5% off top in fine print on the bottom of structure sheet. GFY.

Did anyone eat at Hells Kitchen while they were filming one of the two seasons of the show?

I just checked my Foxwoods app as I was thinking of going there because it had been a while. My App showed my balance and then it all went to zero. I just double checked it logging in via the website and it is now zero. I had hundreds of points in my account - all earned. Between aging parents and work commitments it has not been easy to break away and go up. But what makes me so angry, is that there was absolutely zero warning that I was about to lose all my points.

Has this happened? Anyone else and also is there a way to get them back?

The only warning is in the ToS. They can put all or some back. Need to ask host but if you don’t have an assigned host, probably won’t put back or maybe just token amount. Even with assigned host, purely their discretion.

I have heard of plenty of people getting their points back when asking at a rewards desk, but I'm not sure if they still do that

First time I’ve been here in months and the computer system has crashed. No one can cash their chips out in the entire casino and it’s been over 2 hours.

What an absolute joke. How can every casino patron be denied the ability to cash out for hours? I was planning on going over to Mohegan shortly after and now I’m stuck here lol god dammit.

Not knowing their exact processes but yes you likely need computers. Surveillance is computer driven. They might log each cash out at cage. Might use automated cash counters for cash out; whuch are computerized. Etc.

I was there for few hours on Saturday doing the tier multiplier. I guess that explains why there were some many machines disabled on all the casino floors.
