Any Foxwoods regulars here? I got to Boston last week and will be here for the next couple of months. Never played live before since I started playing online and 'learn' the game. Wondering how's the experience at Foxwoods for beginners. Plus there's the world poker finals starting next week.

on the flip side, applying the same principle would shift blame or hate away from a guy like hitler. the guy probably didnt kill any jews himself. the guy probably didnt train the soldiers, couldnt even aim a rifle, navigate a tank, and threw grenades like a girl.

im not sayin thats what ur sayin but i still think you dont give him enough credit
Sure, perhaps I don't give him enough credit. But what I'm really getting at is that there are tons of people who make earth-shattering discoveries and get no credit at all. What about the guys who figure out how to scale things smaller such that we can get way more transistors to fit in the same amount of space, resulting in faster power, or more storage?

I actually think rich supernerd factories would invent great stuff - they just probably couldn't make an excellent business off of the great stuff (or as good as a business as one that is instead directed by someone like Cuban or Jobs).

I'm not a Gates fanboy either, though. The exact same reasons I think Jobs gets too much credit can be applied to Gates too. They aren't solely responsible for the evolution of technology, that's absurd.

I was going there pretty often after BF but ive settled down since.

FW is a decent place to play. Within the last few weeks they switched the dealers from pooled tips to keeping their own so I've heard service has been really good while all the dealers are excited about the change. Overall game quality is pretty good, lots of fish and lots of games.

Up to 5/10nl runs regularly and im sure bigger will run during the FPF. Feel free to PM me any questions.

Feel like scum and a broken record but the last month has broken me down and was my first losing month and now I can't find any body in the poker world to back me it's sad I thought it would be easy tbh but once again if players would like to get a pool stake going I would like 35-40 or if I can get like 5k from 8 people as a loan I can promise 6k in return in 30 days time pm me or post here this is embarrassing but it's my last option

No offense, but you sound a little bit too desperate. Especially the bolded bit. How can you promise that? I dont mean to be a dick, quite the contrary. In my opinion you need to have a little sit down with yourself, and think about your situation.

Move down in steaks ?
10-06-2011 , 09:54 PM
Tought to move down in the same room where people know you imo
I tried to when i ran a bit bad, but at the last second i said "yeah ill take the 5/10" with 1 buyin on me (planned on playin 1/2 with 5 buyins that night)..made $300 that night only cuz i lost $600 jj vs 74 aipf
10-06-2011 , 09:56 PM
how can a guy who won so much possibly need a stake? Did you leave it all on FTP or something?
10-06-2011 , 10:02 PM
**** happens smeets. youd be surprised at the guys who need stakes for various reasons
10-06-2011 , 10:06 PM
i took a stake a long time ago (4 years) when the only game in my area was limit holdem (10/20)..not cuuz i was broke, but i had little liquid cash and ran extremely bad for 1 week.
stake was $2k and i havent loked back
10-06-2011 , 10:14 PM
Yes I'm quite embarrassed but unfortunate string of events tbh and now nobody will even respond to me it's quite funny everyone has there hand out when I'm killing it but oh well I'll ge back up tgere
10-06-2011 , 10:15 PM
haveyou considered moving out of the US and playing online? way easier getting a stake that way imo
10-06-2011 , 10:16 PM
its not that ppl just aren't helping you out bc you're downswinging, that's ridiculous. we all know you can prob crush these games. its just a lot of money to expect 8 guys to insta say they'll ship 5k or w/e, esp when a lot of ppl have a bunch stuck on ftp and stuff. if i didn't have a lot stuck or didn't buy a house i would def put in at least 5k to get a piece of your action.
10-06-2011 , 10:18 PM
are live stakes common? it would seem very hard to get one, and even harder to get a pooled live stake, which is what you would need since you're asking SSFR players for a HSNL stake.
10-06-2011 , 10:19 PM
i think he was talking about the ppl he helped out in vegas, tht are now unable to when he needs a hand..
is there any reason to bet 2 pair on a four flush board?
10-06-2011 , 10:20 PM
live staking is for suckers imo. quads u seem pretty out of touch with reality tbh. shocked that strangers won't pony up the 100k in cash or whatever absurd amount you wanted, so you can go play live deep 10-20 and hopefully win and hopefully not screw them/disappear etc etc.
