In that case I sure hope it wraps up before 12am when they shut it all down.. In all seriousness this is good to see and a step in the right direction
Structure sheet says an equity chop will be forced at 3:30am. Not sure if they’ll also do 3:30am for the Day 1’s but at least they understand that they’ll need to bend the rules a bit for the length of these multi-day’s.
lol �� no one at fw using solvers for that game. You couldn’t use solvers to play in a limpfest anyway where pots go 3-7 ways to a flop. It’s bad misregs who play for comps. They simple don’t have the money to make poker profitable at those stakes. If they do have the money, they’re going to limp all day so it’s going to take a long t
No they are not using them. But they see how others play when they watch TV. They notice players betting small so they do it, they don't know why they are doing but they do it because they saw some one on TV do it
Good news: they are doing a 2 day tournament with multiple days 1s
Bad news: every single flight and the day 2 are all on weekdays
$600 entry
Day 1s July 22-25. Day 2 July 25
Mohegan does this too. It must be a dealer shortage or something, because there's plenty of tables in each venue. Hell, Mohegan has like 2,000 sq ft of unused space in their poker room
The rake in the summer championship has become quite the topic on X. I think it's around 27% which is crazy

It is crazy. We can’t give them our business at that price.
I will be there because it's a 1k+ in New England so it's automatically amazingly soft and full of value but I will feel like a POS paying that kind of rake
Holy crap that’s crazy! Glad they actually listened to the players. I’m shocked they did that
Glad they listened but it’s still too f’n high. That 5% off top in fine print on the bottom of structure sheet. GFY.
Did anyone eat at Hells Kitchen while they were filming one of the two seasons of the show?
I just checked my Foxwoods app as I was thinking of going there because it had been a while. My App showed my balance and then it all went to zero. I just double checked it logging in via the website and it is now zero. I had hundreds of points in my account - all earned. Between aging parents and work commitments it has not been easy to break away and go up. But what makes me so angry, is that there was absolutely zero warning that I was about to lose all my points.
Has this happened? Anyone else and also is there a way to get them back?

Probably did happen. Likely when you opened, you saw the old balance. When app connected to their server and updated the balance went to zero.
The only warning is in the ToS. They can put all or some back. Need to ask host but if you don’t have an assigned host, probably won’t put back or maybe just token amount. Even with assigned host, purely their discretion.

They expire automatically after one year. I haven't logged in for a couple years, but it always used to say right under the points balance on the site that they do expire after one year. I have heard of plenty of people getting their points back when asking at a rewards desk, but I'm not sure if they still do that
First time I’ve been here in months and the computer system has crashed. No one can cash their chips out in the entire casino and it’s been over 2 hours.
What an absolute joke. How can every casino patron be denied the ability to cash out for hours? I was planning on going over to Mohegan shortly after and now I’m stuck here lol god dammit.

How could nobody cash out chips? You don't need computers to cash out chips.
Not knowing their exact processes but yes you likely need computers. Surveillance is computer driven. They might log each cash out at cage. Might use automated cash counters for cash out; whuch are computerized. Etc.
I was there for few hours on Saturday doing the tier multiplier. I guess that explains why there were some many machines disabled on all the casino floors.
Does the PLO game run early Sat morning, like 9am? Going to be in the area in a couple of weeks with a 3-4hrs to kill in the morning.
Hello all! I am just taking up poker again after playing professionally a decade ago and will actually be moving to or near to New London, CT in a couple months time.
I had always been under the impression that Foxwoods was pretty big, but from the chatter above it sounds like the biggest NLHE game is 2-5 and even that’s dying a bit?
If so, are there other rooms in the vicinity where I might find bigger games/more action?
12 years ago, Foxwoods was the big room in NE. They've lost a lot of their strength. As of this moment, they have the 5th number of tables going in NE, behind Encore in Everett, Mohegan, MGM in Springfield and even Chasers in Salem NH. I hope you're not moving to New London for the poker action. There are way too many others places that are better to play.
Twin River in Lincoln, RI.

They were big. Post-pandemic they basically gave up, they just want to have a small room now
