Have any SNG sats been running there lately. I've been thinking of taking a couple shots later this week to see if I can get into the main cheap (plus I have always enjoyed SNG's once in a while.) I just put my roll into a house so i'll be looking for value when it comes to poker for a while!
Either way i'm definately in for the $600, can't make it to the midweek's unfortunately.

Turning Stone has a tourny series running about the same time, will that have any impact on the turnout at the woods? I know that nobody goes to TS so I can't imagine it being too big of a deal, but you never know.

Last May's $300 Mega got 925 runners.

Anyone think we will see 1200+ since online poker is on hiatus?

No

They screwed with the structure on this series. Borgota has a series running same time with a much better structure. And ts has a series going.

Maybe next series they will.bring back the old structure. I think advertising a mega stack and doing what they did with the structures is rediculous.....just my. 02. Cents.

Whats the best way to register without arriving a day early? I know the classic and world finals events usually sell out by starting day.

https://pokertickets.com/foxwoods is where you can register online. If you don't want to pay the fee, you should be fine if you show up about 2 hours before the start. I doubt any of these will quite sell out, but you should be able to avoid any lines.

Really? Yea seriously WTF. Yet another reason why online is 100x better. Sigh.

Oh well, atleast it makes my decision easier- its down to between WSOPC NOLA and Borgota this weekend.

This weekend is brutal. I can usually get rooms even when they're sold out, but not this time. All 4 hotels are completely oversold. People love Seinfeld I guess.

Do you just print of the tournament ticket online and show it at the table? Or do you have to wait in line once you get to foxwoods?

Never used pokertickets, but don't want to wait in line at 10am.

I never used it either, but I've been told you go to a different line to get it set, which should be shorter. Personally, I'm cheap and refuse to pay the extra fee to pokertickets, so I will be lining up!

This...

Plus just get there a little early and show your printout and get your seat assignment. Takes away all the hassle and you can just clill before cards go in the air.

See you all for the $600...

If anyone wants to chop a room for the $600 Saturday night PM me. Foxwoods is completely sold out as said before itt. I have chopped rooms with people before at the FPC and the Megastacks. We would have to try Belissimo or somewhere else down the road. Doesn't matter to me, just want a bed to sleep in.

Try priceline name your own price. You can do pretty damn good for a last minute room which will probably be a step above your car.
