Are you the Magic Man that has been playing the 2-5 plo on occasion at Foxwoods? If so we know each other.
Anyways, I think an assessment of the room is missing in your post. I'm not sure how qualified the floor is in making correct poker rulings. I don't know the poker background of any of the floor. Someone told me a story of calling clock and the floor didn't know what that meant.
More than once people have told me a floor make a ruling again traditional rules of poker and was told that's how we do things here. That a problem in the sense of not getting the same ruling on the same problem one day to next (which is a problem at Foxwood's, who also have some floor that I'm scared of asking for a rule, but a least you can go to a higher authority for clarification), and with 2-5 or 5-10 no limit running, there can be some very large hands where a ruling is needed and a floor that may not know the exact rules of poker and can make thousand dollar decisions based on whims or if someone is a regular or any reason at all, with "that's how we do it here" as a final answer.
I personally I like the room too. The dealers will get better as time goes by, and once they are proficient in dealing 2 cards, they can add "the game of the future" to the game selection
