As soon as contracts are awarded, and some details emerge. Looking forward to the Caesars or Wynn hype thread that has some info about the proposed poker room.

I moved out of state two years ago, saying, "I'll be back when they get the casino in MA or NH."

I've been renting a furnished place ever since. No sense buying furniture if I'll have to pay a ton to move it home in a year or two...

...but now I give up. It's going to be SEVERAL years before they get going, and even if/when they do, it's going to be such a terribly-run place that I won't want to leave the awesome job I have now to work there.

Time to start shopping for furniture, try to find a girl, and settle in right here. GG, New England.

If it wasn't clear above, April 2014 is the projected license award date for the Region A/B casinos.

66k posts is a product of the lapse between the end of online poker and me turning 21 only 2 months ago

yes we left the guy out. obv im new to foxwoods but certain staff made it clear in no uncertain terms this guy was a massive douchebag. and after playing with him for several hours i agree. just a totally unpleasant guy. next time maybe he shouldnt berate the dealer after a standard beat and go to get food and he wont miss the bbj!

The other half of the bbj win is a 2+2er as well

Congrats guys!

Eta...curious who the guy who was left out was. Pm if you know the name please

Last edited by Lattimer; 08-26-2013 at 09:07 AM. Reason: Removed real name. Even if a 2+2er it's up to them to out themselves.

Let's hope that this isn't the apex of your poker career.

Sure, he may someday win more than this on a single hand (?)... you never know.....

I was about 3 tables over when this hit. Congrats! (=Thinly concealed massive envy.)
Especially nice decision to stiff the missing player (in this particular case only, not normally).

From the pictures I've seen it was TT vs Jd9d. Board was 8dTd?TQd.

Knowing the other player fairly well, I'm guessing it got all in on flop

I'm confused as to why a FOxwoods bbj story is in this thread instead of the FW thread

Yup. I could've left the original post (since it's informative of the $350k BBJ getting hit) but would've deleted all the successive congrats and joking posts. This way the posts can stay. It's a perfect example of what this thread is for.

Aren't you not supposed to discuss the BBJ during the hand, with potential voiding of hand being the penalty? Just curious, I heard that was a big no-no.
