All I can say is Wow.

I've been to Foxwoods for poker only a handful of times on the previous poker room - mostly on the weekends. Usual wait times were anywhere from 1 hour (when you showed up early on a Sunday morning) to 6 hours (peak time on Friday) for the lower limit games.

I played twice this past weekend, which admittedly is a "slowish" weekend at Foxwoods. The first time in the new room was on Friday. I walked in and found several tables empty - but they were adding them frequently. I asked to be put on the list for $2/$4 Limit Hold'em and found that it was open seating! This was at around 5 or 6pm on a Friday night...

By the time I left at 10 or 11pm, all of the room's tables were full - but there was not a single list that was "cumbersome" - yes there were lists, but they were very reasonably sized.

On Saturday, I returned and only had time for about 1 hour - and again - no wait list, this time for the only $2/$4 O8 table in the room...

The next time I go, I'll try to get a good estimate on the numbers of games spread and such - but you can probably expect it to be much of the same as the old poker room - just with MUCH shorter wait times.

Aside from that, I have to say the room is very nice and comfortable. The noise level was very well dampened - unlike in the lofty cieling of the previous room - where it bounced all over the place. Talking at a normal level voice was a nice change.

If anyone has any specific questions about the new room, let me know and I'll try to answer them (hopefully with frequent visits there...)

368 DAYS BABY. $75/$150 mixed, you're mine.

Oh jeez, the Papelbon avatars are already busting out. You crazy new englanders.

P.S. Kuso I just set some sort of $400 NL record tonight so you can eat my dick, I'll be the biggest winner in the $75/$150 mixed game at foxwoods within 10 months of my 21st birthday, mark my words.

xas, if you really have the BR to play it, i have no doubt in my mind that you will clean up at foxwoods. fwiw, i want to watch.

the goal, of course, is to have the BR. you've got a long row to hoe for a $45k BR, not to mention that a $75k BR would probably be better for a pro.

did i mention you'll have to pay taxes again next year before your birthday?

good luck.
