Anyone tried the new 2/5NL at Foxwoods yet?

[HoldEmKillah]

Thoughts compared to the way the 2/4NL played?

Also, what's the rake?

[Justin Smith]

The memo on the 5/10 board says it starts the 28th

[Bazuul]

any word on the min/max buy-ins or the time charge?

[Justin Smith]

its a 300 min 500 max, any time u go under 300 u can reload to up to 5 , rake of 6/1/2 hour

i think

[Bazuul]

Why are they total idiots?

If you have 400, can you reload to 500? or do you have to, like, lose a $100 pot to your friend first?

This sounds like their 1/2 where if you buy in for $40 and then tip the dealer, you can load to $139... right?

[Rasputin]

Pardon my ignoramitude but why would they bother changing it from 2/4 to 2/5? What's the point?

[cwsiggy]

No, sounds like if you buy in for $300, a $5 blind goes by, you can then reload another $205 up to $500.

given that 95% of players in the game make their preflop raises in increments of $5, this will save a ton of time that was wasted on having to make change for 3 players every f-ing hand.

yeah.. it's a red chip game. And when you're paying a time charge, it's aggravating to sit around as the dealer is constantly making change. So 2/5 sounds good to me.
