Will it be dead tomorrow due to it being the 13th? (Not really joking). Going to play the $350. Looks like rain all day so I’m hoping the turnout is good

Any locals/regulars able to share the rake breakdowns for Mohegan and Foxwoods?
I played a bit maybe 6 months ago at both, cant remember what MS was but I know I was shocked at FW with the $2 on the flop at 1/2 and what I think was $7 total, not counting any extra for promos/HHJ's
Basically just looking for what the buyins, rake, and general feel is on current 1/2 and 2/5 NL at both and if Limit Holdem is ever spread (was told no at FW by the players that day but still cant believe the staple 2/4 and 4/8 games are truly 100% gone until I hear it from people who know for sure)

Rake for 1/2 and 2/5 is $6 + $1 for the BBJ. $1 at flop, $10, $30, $40, $50, $60 and the $1 for the BBJ comes out at $20 I think.

For buy-ins, 1/2 is $60-$400 and 2/5 is $200-$1000.

Games are hit or miss. I think the room has a reputation for having a lot of nitty older regulars but what room doesn’t?

I see 2/4 limit running occasionally but definitely not all the time. Maybe someone else knows the schedule.

Mohegan 2/5 is probably the nittiest in the country. Not even sure it's intentional, people are just legit scared to put $ in without the nuts there.

Someone once said to me having QQ is like having 44 at MS 2/5. It tracks.

$4-8 Limit Holdem runs a few days a week at Foxwoods (Bravo is your friend in this regard). As previously stated the $2-5 NL game at Mohegan can be hit-or-miss in the daytime hours but the $2-5 game at Foxwoods is horrifically tight to the point where it is a complete waste of time to sit in it.

Full of backpack and headphone wearing try hards that seat change and table change all night to get position on fish. Puke.

lol I want to say this is an exaggeration but you almost certainly have more hours at MS 2/5 than I do and I did get flatted by QQ pre-flop just last night.

I found the Mohegan 2/5 comprised of more than a few players who love talking strategy and letting everyone know how “plus ev” they are. Also it’s never a good look when the entire table (including the dealer) discussing how “bad” the main game is.

The irony of this is they're likely not even winning. There's 5-6 good players max at MS and they almost all play 5/10 over 2/5, and none would talk like that at the table. Those people are just **** regs and are really, really bad for the game. They're necessary for the room to exist, however, as they keep showing up and paying rake. Smile and wave.

Yup I would agree overall. I generally saw younger 20 somethings being loud and my (old man) opinion is they are just happy to be “good” at something and enjoy the “ego boost” it gives them talking about poker terms. I see that at lots of places but the best places and table have little poker talk outside the very basic stuff so while they might not be the crushers they take away from the overall EV any game can have.

Do choice credits roll over each month? I just got ignite and only got 41 choice credits applied to my account, I thought it was supposed to be 50? As far as I know, 41 credits won't even let you exchange into mohegan dollars. Maybe it's prorated if you get it mid month?

Also, it says 2 complimentary greens fees each month. That's in addition to the choice credits? Or do I need to use choice credits to pay for the rounds?

No they don’t roll over and yes it was prorated because you got ignite mid month. Same thing happened to me. There are a variety of things (mostly food) that you can spend 15 or 25 choice credits on.

I believe the greens fees are in addition to the choice credits but I’m not sure. Not a golfer.

Two green fees a month are free ( 4 for Leap and 8 for Ascend). You have to pay for the cart if you’re below Ascend. You can use choice credits to pay for the cart, it use to be 20 choice credits, not sure of current cost.

This Sunday is our regular first Sunday of the month 8:16 horse game. We start by 11:00 a.m. at the latest. we have switched from Tuesday and Wednesday to Wednesday and Thursday for our 8-16 OE games each week. Every Thursday until Labor Day is triple status day. So for each Thursday you will receive six status points per hour. If you like high low poker this is the place to be.

This Sunday August 11th, we are going to have a special 8-16 HORSE game. Starting sometime before 11:00 a.m.. apparently many of the poker players are getting a free $75 gift card on that day. So since the players will be at the casino anyway we thought we'd have a special game. All are welcome. Of course, our regular Wednesday and Thursday games remain intact. We're approaching 3 years now.

I'm not a negative person.

But I'm on an Internet forum today, so here it goes...

**** the Casino of the Earth poker room.

Do you remember when we could pretend to be kings of the world, strolling past a 100ft techno lit waterfall into the goddamn most elegant poker room you've ever seen? Sky high ceilings, beautifully appointed. Gold and natural curves wall to wall. In the middle, a goddamn stage. The energy was so different in that room. The players, the dealers, the floors all had the attitude that they were in some special place.

Having a nightclub outside a poker room has got to be +EV for thinking players. It was. It was.

Now what does Mohegan Sun have? Ugh. I'm not even going to describe it. You know what it looks like and where it's located.

Mohegan does have some of the best dealers. I just wish they had a nicer room to showcase their skills and maybe ****ing cheer them up or something. ****. Last time I was there it felt like they all needed a hug.

I don’t think anyone would disagree. The old room was the nuts. Nothing like it being packed wall to wall on Friday and Saturday nights. I used to have to get there at 6:30 if I wanted a seat at $1/$2. I was sad when the rumors started about it moving, but then realized the entire casino was closing, so they had no choice. I wish they put a little more effort into the new room in terms of visuals and atmosphere. Unfortunately, that costs money, which is not something a casino is willing to do for poker these days.

They have all brand new gorilla gaming tables that cost 4-5k per that are about to be installed with the new bravo/shuffle machines. There's rumors of a new stage area coming in the back near tables 25-27, but who knows. I would like the color scheme on the walls/rug to change but I mean, that's really whatever. They're definitely putting money into the room overall though.

rumor has it the new shufflers don’t fit the new tables.

This was the case but they fixed the problem I believe. 27 has a shuffler in it now

Is there a reason they don't post tournament results anywhere? I'm wondering what the average numbers are in daily tournaments specifically the new survivor Wednesday and the Thursday night.. anyone? Even the peasant casino next door posts results what's the issue here?

we have switched back to playing 8-16 OE
to Tuesday @11am or earlier and Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. sharp. We will be keeping this schedule for the time being. also we are going to have a one time Friday game on September 27th. Starting at 11:00 a.m. or earlier. Our regular first Sunday of the month HORSE game has been very popular and will continue

What’s Friday the 27th game? OE or HORSE?

And def HORSE on October 6th?

Eight years after screwing up a tournament really badly, Mohegan Sun now will not have a late table just be the people who signed up late.

In 2016 there was a tournament where they accidentally gave a late table 20,000 chips per person where the rest of the tables (nine I think) all got 15,000 chips. One of the reasons it happened was that there were no players at the table who could see that the starting stacks were wrong. Now there will be players from others table that will know what the starting stack is and will likely prevent that from happening, if it comes up again.

The other thing that makes it a really good idea is that it will help prevent people from colluding by showing up late in groups of two or more players. Hopefully. Not that it's happened. Just makes me feel so much more comfortable playing there at their Saturday $355 tournament. I prefer live games to online specifically because colluding is so much harder to do. Though at tournaments where seating is random it is less likely to happen (unless all late players are seated at the same table...)

The last tournament I played at Mohegan Sun a couple of weeks ago, they took one player from our table (and I would guess some other tables as well) to help start up a new table, and I hope they keep doing that. I'm starting to like the room a lot more and starting to feel trust, like they will have our backs.

Just went to the lounge and omfg the smell on the silverware is beyond repulsive.

2 weeks in a row I went and I grabbed multiple pieces of silverware and plates to confirm and they definitively do a terrible job of cleaning them if they actually do clean them.

There was always a funky smell emanating from that kitchen. But man this is beyond bad.

I actually think it’s a health concern. Free food at what price �� ?!
