I read on RGP that the Mohegan Sun is closing its poker room after Labor Day (and replacing it with a high stakes slot lounge). Being skeptical of anything I read on the internet, I called the Mohegan to ask if it was true, and they confirmed it.
Any predictions on the impact this will have on Foxwoods and how Foxwoods will react? Obviously it will bring more players to Foxwoods (which is good since that is where I play), but I don't think Foxwoods having a monopoly on poker in the area is a good thing. |

And a fun place to stay. My wife loves to stay in their hotel and shop the stores. She hates the shopping at Foxwoods and does not gamble. I'll never get her to stay at Foxwoods.
I am bummed out about the poker room closing. I played there almost every week for the last two years and prefer is a lot to the poker room at Foxwoods. Oh well. |

The poker room at Foxwoods is really thriving these days, bringing lots of customers to the casino. The place is jam packed with people wanting to play satellites to get into the WPT event. |

I can't say I'm surprised, I thought this was coming for a while. I have a feeling that a bunch of the floor staff getting fired a couple of weeks ago was the last straw.
It'll be nice to have more players at Foxwoods. I hope the lack of competition doesn't end up making things worse though. The Foxwoods poker room has been a zoo for the last few months as it was, hopefully they'll expand and become the biggest room in the country. |

This is sad news, but as JTG said, it is not suprising. The staff at Mohegan (except for the dealers) does a terrible job. I just hope that Foxwoods expands to handle the overflow, or it is gonna be a very crowded room.

Mohegan was one of the worst-run poker rooms on the planet. You would think you were sitting there, waiting for your name to be called for the 20/40, and after an hour, you'd go check on the status, but your name's not on the list.
The games were pretty damned good, though. Seeing as I'm not a huge fan of Foxwoods, I'm hoping they'll step it up a little bit. Who knows, maybe they'll even spread a regular $30/60 holdem game. To go with the 75/150 stud table. OK. I know. That's a zany idea. |

From what I've seen, it's almost always going on weekends and sometimes on weeknights. The room is getting busier and busier so I imagine that will become a regular game, especially when some of the higher limit players from Mohegan switch over. |

This is good news. I haven't been up for maybe 6 months because I generally like to play a little bigger than $10/20, and my experience in the 3 years I have been in CT has been that I couldn't count on anything higher.
So I guess now I'll be making the drive a bit. My Q45 needs to get on the highway a little more often, anyway. |
