guessing he was not dealt in,maybe got up to go to bathroom

if i hit i would have gave him something because if he was playing the cards
would have been different and leading to the jackpot not being hit

I was there also on Saturday it was packed, but too bad they don't have a poker room. I was talking to a friend of mine who is a BJ dealer and she said they are "discussing it" We'll see, it would be great though to shave an hour off each way.

I was part of the table share and multiple people told me specifically not to tip the guy who was out getting something to eat. I believe an exact quote was "if he was just a normal d-bag, I'd tip him, but this guy I would definitely NOT tip." Have not been to Foxwoods in 5+ years so I have no idea who he is. I guess the moral of the story is to be nice when playing poker?

Snapped a quick pic before getting yelled at by the floor to put the cell phone away. Sorry its so blurry and you can't see the hole cards, was too busy jumping up and down and hugging random dudes.

Nice Pic!! I noticed that the 3 and 5 seat aren't lit so that means more for you!!! If the guy was an a-hole and was gone for a while I wouldn't let him in either.

If a guy ran for a quick trip to the bathroom, I'd have to consider letting him in the chop.

It would be the apex of mine, and I'd take it in a heartbeat.

I'll offer congrats as well, even though I'm so jealous I now hate you (I've been playing this game longer than you've been alive, and never got even a share).

How do you know the different cards would have led to the BBJ not being hit? The different cards would be just likely to bring a BBJ as the hand that was eventually dealt. More so, in fact, as more hole cards out there equals more chances to make a big hand (I'm just guessing on this last part, but I'm confident about the rest).

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!

Nice stack at 2/5 this afternoon sir!

Suffolk Downs and the City of Boston have finally reached an (inevitable) agreement to allow the bid to go ahead. Next step, community referendum. It hasn't been determined yet whether the referendum will be East Boston only or all of Boston.

Interesting tidbit:

Quote:

Despite earlier objections, Menino will allow phased opening of the development.

and

Quote:

Developers committed to an early opening 14 months from start of construction and full opening after another 12 months.

If the early opening were to include poker, and the license were awarded on schedule (April 2014), and construction were to begin immediately (if, if, if!) we could be at the tables in June 2015.

My Facebook status for tonight. Feel free to agree or disagree:

2 facts of the night... The fact that I'm watching Breaking Bad right now and not Dexter, because Dexter took Labor Day weekend off and BB didn't, supports reason #163 that BB > Dexter (Sorry Dexter fans, but after S4 it went way downhill). And, that Wendy's Monterey Chicken Sandwich is the GOAT 99c value menu item.

Anybody want to meet up this weekend? I'm coming home to visit, and trying to arrange a Boston 2+2 meet-up. Last time we met at a bar called Saus, a few steps from Quincy Market in Boston, and right now I'm trying to see if Saturday, 8 PM, there, works for anybody?

West Springfield has voted No to the Hard Rock Proposal, leaving just MGM SPringfield (already passed) and Mohegan Sun in Palmer (Vote in November I believe) still alive for the Western license. I believe this is the first full resort to be rejected at the ballots.

Wow, this was the only RSVP I got that didn't say "Can't make it," and it's a maybe at best! All summer long, I heard interest from folks in OOT, H&F, SE, and here in B&M. Now the time has arrived, and nobody is able/willing to make it happen.

Where you at, Burdz? I'm in Methuen.

Im driving through NH from Montreal to get to foxwoods. Any semi decent card rooms that are not too far out of the way?
Ive google searched a few rooms but im not too aware if the rooms are worth stopping and how far they are out of the way.
