Default Foxwoods-The wonder of it all

With a room this big you're bound to see everything, here's a few I've seen or heard of recently:

Lady playing 20/40 HE, raising PF every hand capping if possible, blind....college age kid runs $1k up to $100k at blackjack, then runs it back to zero...old guy goes all in after hitting a a set, gets called by a flush draw, flush hits on the river, old guy grabs his four stacks of red, pockets them and tries to vamoose, stopped along the 4-8 tables by the black suited security guards, not those guys in the silly teal get ups, forced to walk his chips back to the table...Hot asian chick when asked why she called an all in when she should have figured that her KQ was dominated, "only my boyfriend dominates me"....late night 1-3 stud players look like extras from the 80's drama Hill Street Blues....any dealer with more than 12 letters in his/her first name is probably pretty bad....about 70 players missed the start of the Sunday $500 NL NEPC because they forgot about day light savings time....best dressed chick I've ever seen in the poker room was a hottie playing 2-4 wearing backless black teddy and stilettos...worst dressed was a 70 year old with a pink satin members only jacket and floral MC Hammer balloon pants...then there is the lady who peed in her seat instaed of missing a hand...anybody got any others?

The guy that walked in wearing a full-fledged Superman suit and sat down next to me to play some $5-$5 NL.

There's the bird that used to live in the poker room a couple of years back.

bahahaha what an idiot.

You'd think when he was dropping his way back past $50,000 he'd have the sense to pick up and cash out.

Yeah i'd think hitting six digits in blackjack would be enough to motivate me to leave. I mean go buy a car instead [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't think I'd ever hit six digits in BJ, because knowing that it's a losing game, I'd probably be cashing out sometime around the time I doubled my buy-in.

It seems to me that the qualities needed to go from $1K to $100K in one session of BJ are exactly the same qualities that make running it back down to 0 almost inevitable.

good thing that Foxwoods caps maximum bets in Stargazer and Newport at $10,000. maximizes the entertainment value.
