Default Foxwoods really sucks

I know many of you have commented on some of these things in the past but I just came back and...
Foxwoods Sucks.
the limits on the nl games make no sense and I had two blowouts at the table about card showing, collusion, boardreading, etc. where I was told that players talk and there is nothing that can be done.

They don't use last aggressor for teh showing of cards, allow players out of the hand to ask to see cards...

arghhhhh

bad trip - and not because I lost. i came back fifty dollars up...not a good trip but not a loser. the main issue is that the floors are weak, the dealers are terrible( no wonder they agree to pool tips), and the entire atmosphere is awful.

I disagree that it is as bad as you say, and it does sound like sour grapes. However, that being said...When you are the only game in town, you can pretty much do what you want.

Joe

I totally agree with your comments on the Woods. They own the market and they run the largest room East of CA. They are not perfect but neither is the MGM with the most modern interactive table/board system in the country.

My only real issue with FW is why are they the only poker room in the country who can't get the autoshufflers to work? I played for 4 days in Vegas and saw one jam which the dealer fixed himself.

I think it's probably because they don't have them.

Um.... yeah they do. Sat at the same table my past two sessions there (10/20 and 10/24), and the damn autoshuffler was broken, saying there were missing cards. Really slowed things down until the floor "authorized" manual shuffling.

I told Floorman Eddy on Monday that the thing had the same problem last thursday. His response? "No it didn't." Reminded me of the black knight in the Holy Grail.

(Arthur) "Your arm's off!"

(Black Knight) "No it isn't..."

There are worse dealers/floor than others, depends on
how busy etc. When Mike is there noone gets away with
anything (he even picked me up after 31 minutes on a
busy Sunday night!)

This is not what "sour grapes" means...sour grapes is a
rationalization of failure to achieve a desired result, a la
Aesop's Fox and the Grapes...

I can't wait to get back to the 'woods really soon...(who's in?)
