Somehow from that post you guys read that JG is leaving MGM Harbor and coming to MGM Springfield when it opens? Wow.

Evidence on twitter suggests that the MGM Springfield poker room manager is Adam Nash.

In any case, great news that they appear to be taking poker seriously here.

Why wouldn't we?

"Legendary card room manager and WSOP TD comes to piddly, rinky dink New England poker thread, speaks on behalf of new property opening there," and it's a stretch to think it's gonna be his room?

This guy is as plugged in as anyone with respect to Las Vegas casino companies, including numerous components of the Wynn story before it came out. His report is it'll be rebranded as Encore Boston Harbor.

Don't worry, MGM Resorts will eventually buy them out. I mean, they buy everything else.

I'd put the probability at slightly higher than zero.

Of course.... what else are they supposed to do when Crosby says their license is at risk? Hope for the best, then be caught completely flat-footed if it turns out bad?

FW/Mohegan has a lot of Uber traffic between 12-2 AM. I struggled once to get an Uber from Foxwoods around 5 AM (I was in a really good game!)

I would imagine the Uber traffic in NH is significantly less, although I have never tried, and can’t say for sure

NH confirmed pretty damn soft. BBC wed night older Asian dude shipping $100 utg with JTo.

Has me wondering what your bb/100 has to be to beat a $7max rake.

Aces full of anything was the jackpot tonight FWIW. Table seemed mostly concerned with this and not much anyone's play in particular.

Anybody played at Manchester Poker Room in NH? I usually play at Twin but I'm planning on making the drive up to play the 1/3 Big O.

Also if anyone knows any other good 18+ cardrooms I'd appreciate it. I'm from CT but I'm 19 so my options are basically TR, Turning Stone and the smaller NH rooms as far as I know. I usually just go to Twin because it's so soft but as you guys probably know it's a ****hole and they only spread NL/LHE/stud.

Xpost from the Pats thread.

Anyone have experience flying out to an away game? The game me and my buds want to go to already got the date leaked, and flights have already exploded to absurd amounts if not sold out already. Do more flights end up getting added over time and prices settle down?

I once saw an 80 year old man piss himself at a slot machine. That alone has to bump Twin up a few spots on the ****hole list lmao

Never been to Hard Rock but I've heard the games are good. Planning on hitting it up if I find an excuse to go to Florida.

The black mold at the Rock was actually a good thing; it killed the mice.

Buying plane tickets far in advance is *not* the way to lock up the cheapest seats. You'll prob see the prices drop between now and then, and almost certainly find a "sale" sometime this summer. That's the time to pounce.

That said, try to get this done by Oct 1. Usually 4-6 weeks is the point where the prices stop dropping, and start rising.
