Default Re: Are you looking for 5/10 Limit Holdem in Vegas?

Foxwoods is by far the worst run poker room in the history of the world and these are just examples of it.

Granted, Foxwoods is not a well run poker room by any means, but that does not mean you should entirely discount everything that takes place there just because the management is poor.

Hahahahaha, using Foxwoods as the evidence that $5/10 and bad chip structures don't matter is ridiculous.

Who the hell uses $2 chips for a $4/8 game?

[/ QUOTE ]

The fact that most casinos prefer not to use $2 chips for 4/8 isn't what's important. What's important is that the 2 chip/4 chip structure is supposed to create more action than 1chip/2chip, but at Foxwoods it doesn't. How the room is run is superfluous to the argument. What's relevant is that there's no difference in quality of games between the "good" structure at 4/8 and the "bad" structure at 5/10. Or, for that matter, no difference between 5/10 and 10/20 either.

Everything about that room is nitty as hell and made to keep costs down to a minimum. And the action definitely suffers there.

This is just plain wrong. The action at Foxwoods is tremendous. There's not a single regular game in Vegas that approaches the softness of the games at Foxwoods. This is true at all hold 'em and O/8 limits, as well as the stud games I briefly sat in. The "poorly structured" 5/10 game at Foxwoods blows the doors of anything comparable in Vegas.
