Default I have my Foxwoods Reservations, Holy Crap! Who\'s In?

So, I worked a double last night, came home after 7am this morning. Set my alarm for shortly before 10am so I could beat out all the other players and get my reservations for the WPT events early (no, I'm not planning on playing the 10K event just yet, some of the smaller ones instead)

So, I call them up and I'm on hold FOREVER! I decide while I wait to try to book my rooms via their website, but instead of getting the special room rate, it's coming up as double that amount (little did I realize, until just typing this, that the reason was because I was booking for TWO nights in each block, so it was just adding the rates instead of saying the rate was $218 per night)

So, luckily I got my Great Cedar reservations for two nights, and snagged a Jr. Suite at the Two Trees for my other two nights. I can't friggin' wait!

Hope to NOT see any of you folks there, just the fish please.

Playing:

$200 multi-play NL Hold 'Em
$500 NL Hold 'Em

If I do well enough, I may play the 7-stud, stud hi/lo and Omaha hi/lo events as well. And of course, try to satellite my way into the main event.

I'm going to be there on 10/12 and 10/13 trying my hand through the ACT's, I finished second in round 2 last year so am hoping to make the step to 3 this time around. Obviously being there in Nov. is contingent on the Oct. trip. First time there? Its a great casino.

I've been there, it's a nice casino, but their service towards poker players hasn't been 4-stary in my experience.

If you don't want that 2500 bucks, I'll gladly take it, then maybe I can play some of the stud and omaha events too, w00t!

[/ QUOTE ]

I got one King size bed in my room, but I could change it up to two doubles probably.

Non-smoking room also (dunno if you smoke?)

I have the following dates reserved:

Wednesday & Thursday, October 26th & 27th (Great Cedar) for $244.16 including tax

Then I have

Tuesday & Wednesday, November 1st and 2nd with a Jr. Suite at the Two Trees Inn for $221.76 with tax.

I figured I'd arrive the day prior to each event I plan on playing, so I don't have to rush in the morning to beat the lines.

So total for all 4 nights is $465.92 (so $232.96 if we split)

Lemme know so I can change the rooms to a double if necessary.

Hey Gnu,

I hope you'll be making a little money at the O8 cash games while you are there. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Good luck,

Dave

As long as loud-mouthed Betty is seated in the O8 ring game (ESPECIALLY the 5/10 kill game) it'll be a gold mine.

ME: I have Ace's and 6's, plus the nut low

BETTY: I have 10's and 7's!

ME: Yes, but I have Ace's and 6's, plus the nut low.

BETTY: But I have 10's and 7's!

ME: Yes, I scoop

BETTY: I have a low too!

ME: Yes, but your 3/4 low is no good
