Hey, I'm not a "meth head" I'm a "meth enthusiast." And there's always another buy in behind the dumpster at Red Rose.

Word is they were cheating the game, although that is just what I heard

Could be. According to the dealers, they weren't regs; they were relatively new players.

was playing there once and one of the players kept trying to get people to go play at the private game he dealt at - kept saying the game ran wild

yeah i've dealt with enough shady shenanigans to just avoid private games in general unless for low stakes amongst friends

Two hours before the bust, the floor had stopped the game and loudly warned everyone that sidebets (in that case the 72o game) were illegal in Massachusetts and wouldn't be tolerated. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.

Do you really think the state police are raiding a game at a casino and making arrests because they're playing the seven deuce game? C'mon man!!!

Not really; they'd likely just boot and ban them, but it would be funny if that was the case

I saw this same exact exchange happen two weeks ago during a $5/$10 game. The players were cursing at the floor during the exchange and at least 1 player was asked to leave.

Yeah, I just sat down in that game when it happened. Floor was also pissed off because a player bought in too deep.

While I can understand MGM or Mass Gaming not wanting prop bets and side games, I struggle to believe that was why the cops got involved in the 10/25 situation.

Did anyone find out what happened in the big game?

Ah yeah, I recall hearing that come up as well. I was at a neighboring 1/2 table fwiw.

RE: the 10/25 game, the replies to this tweet suggest the guys that got arrested were known cheaters. Photos as well.

Good find.

Anyone who played there know any more info about how they cheated? Lots of speculation on Twitter in those threads, but it seems to mostly pertain to their past cheating methods.

Some more details here

Tru dat

During the week. What time of day do games actually get running?

Thanks to everyone for all the comments. Ended up deciding to just book a night at the casino and suck it up. Gives me a free pass to get drunk or stoned and just pass out in the hotel room.

Do they not use Bravo anymore? The list is always 0 tables in the app.

I think it’s still impacted by the MGM hack

What's the 2/5 max buy in here?

$300 to $1000

‘Poker atlas’ app lists all game sizes if you ever need to look it up

Appreciated amigo. I do use Atlas but it also lists the number of tables as 14 when they added one a few months back to make it 15 - so I wanted to come here and confirm with the experts in real time!

Some fun Button straddle hands I saw from yesterday

5 limps to Button straddle who rips it for $200, everyone folds, he shows K8

Different guy Button straddles, 4 limps, I limp A8 in CO, Button jams for $120, folds back to me, I think for maybe 20 seconds before Button says "I'll give you action!" and turns up a 6

Ofc I call, board runs out JJ25T, Button then turns over K, MHIG

How often does 5/10 run here? And can they legally run 5 card Omaha in this room? I’ve seen 10/25 go off weekly for a while but I think 5/10 is more up alley. Only seen 5/10 run maybe once of the 20+ times I’ve played here. 2/5 is the biggest game 95% of the time I’m there sigh. Would be nice if they can regularly get 5/10 on Friday & Saturday maybe I’d make the drive if it’s the games are semi fishy. Closest I ever got to playing 5/10 here was some 2/5 fish said he was willing to play 5/10 and we started a list, 7-8 other regs locked up seats and we all stared at each other for 10 minutes waiting for the fish to show back up and then we all gave up and went back to our respective 2/5 & 1/2 games lol

5/10 tends to run on Wednesdays now instead of the 10/25. Ymmv
