Do you have the Bravo app? It tells you what games are going at any point in time. 20-40 stud hi goes all the time, and is likely the healthiest of them all. However, 75-150 also runs regularly. There are lower stakes games, but I never pay attention to them.
I think the 20-40 game is almost the last bastion of a decent mid-stakes stud game left. With the possible exception of Atlantic City, which I have never tried. In the last year, the 30-60 and 100-200 games at Commerce have died. And the 20-40 game frequently struggles to keep a single game going. So Foxwoods is starting to stand alone.
I think the 20-40 game is great. A week ago Saturday, there were five full tables going for a while. With all kinds of action and terrible players. The games run almost 24/7. There are some solid regulars, but you can spot them pretty quick. There are also a bunch of terrible regulars. I only play there a few times a year, but they are there year-in, year-out. They must easily drop $50K to $100K annually.
I have been playing live maybe 20-30 days a year, for several years now. I think the Foxwoods game is as good as it has ever been.
