ummmm what time were you there? I was there from about noon till 3 am....what table did you sit at?

i was at a crazy table for 1-2.....i was up about 700 end of the night

I knew it was time for me to leave when I straddled and re-popped it with 10's flop a set and lose to broadway (the nuts) and the dude didnt go all in when I led into him on every street....he had 200 more behind him on his river call...and if he shoves i insta call....lol

Exactly

I was there from like 5pm - 5am. I got stuck at a table near where the 2-4 limit games & stud games are when you first get down the stairs. I was going to switch tables but I started getting good hands immediately. I hate when I get stuck at a table that's not in the "main area" but this time it worked out. The pros were I was right near a bathroom and a TV with B's and C's on it, the cons were the waitresses rarely came down to our area. At one point I saw like 5 young people get escorted into some shady room that I never knew existed. 2 of the girls were crying. One of the dealers said there is some type of holding cell back there.

I have never sat over there, but I do know of the room you are talking about. Last time I was there some asian dude was being escorted to that area in handcuffs, he had a shit eating grin on his face.....

I was seated at the table right in front of the sign in booth....waitress made the rounds pretty regularly

I also walked right past you then on my way out...thanks for saying hi, douche

[lugnutz]

They get caught signaling? That happened once at a table next to me......I expected gunfire any second.

Anyone want to stake me? BS1? RA?

[BS1]

nope...but I am going to FW this weekend, lol

[mcm]

went about a month ago...bought in for 150 twice, was down to my last $15, all-in with A-3 got 3 callers, flop was like 7-7-3 or something and it held up. Turned that $60 into over $700 at one point but went home with 4-something. High-light was rivering a nut flush against some clueless lady that had pocket aces and went all-in for like $200.

Played in the 120 buy in yesterday and made it to the final 3 tables out of 135 people....only top 15 paid though.

Went and played some 1/2 and turned 300 into almost 900.....then started getting silly and dropped down to 700.....not a bad lil profit. Had quad Q's once and also made a pretty nice call with A high for a 100 dollar bet

Bad beat jackpot was hit the night before I got there.....losing hand took home 147k after taxes.....and gave the dealer a 300 dollar tip.....300 not 30000......what a dick

[mcm]

obviously 30K is too much and 300 is too little, what is fair? I'm thinking like $2500-$5000. I might be going Sat.

Went to Sox OD with a buddy I hadn't seen in years, he told me about 3 yrs ago he got overpaid by like $900 at FW (I guess the guy at the window paid out quarter chips as if they were hundreds...LOL) and next time he went someone showed up at his hotel room and brought him down to some pit area and they tried to get him to pay it back. He said he didn't have it and they gave him a lifetime ban. He now goes to Mohegan. I like stories.

[BS1]

I meant to say 3000..... Chatter amongst the players/ dealers was 4% is about normal. The dealer still made about 5k overall from the other players.....but still 300 from the winner is a joke....Christ I tipped the guy 10 bucks when I was cashing out my chips, lol

I don't know if I could walk out with that star money like your buddy did.....I'm afraid of karma. Haha

The cage employee who made the mistake got a little extra punishment

[mcm]

sat down with $400 at 2-5 last weekend and waited 2 hands for big blind. Literally my very first hand I have A-6 diamonds with 4 people already in for $20. Call the $15. Flop has an Ace and a Jack and a low card that I dont remember... J and low card are diamonds. I lead out for $50. Get raised to $150, and since I have another $200 in my pocket and am fine with going to play 1-2, I go all-in and guy insta-calls with A-J. I actually hit a meaningless 6 on turn and rivered the diamond for the nuts. Guy didn't say a word which surprised me. I won the next hand too although I don't remember and was up to $1000 after like 15 minutes. After about 4-5 hours I ended up getting down to $150 then played black jack with that, lost it in one shoe and went home.

On my way down from $1000+ to $150 I lost one hand where I flopped the nut flush, some guy is betting his pocket Qs, turn pairs the board and fucking river is a Queen. Guy bet like $150 after the river and I call, he flips them over and says "I think I rivered you". No shit, buddy. Another hand I flopped broadway with Q-J and lost to a runner-runner flush. That was fun.

You win some, you lose some.

Prob won't be back for a while.

And hopefully I had enough poker jargon in there for former poster MCA.

no casino in Foxboro.....sigh

[Mr. X]

From The Boston Herald article by Frank Quaratiello and Chris Cassidy:

The death blow to the Foxboro plan paves the way for a casino at Suffolk Downs, which has partnered with Caesars Entertainment and enjoys the support of Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.


Is Suffolk Downs inside the city lines? If so Menino will strong arm any holdouts in the city council.

[BS1]

I would probably go to Foxwoods before I went to Suffolk Downs casino.....of course when FW goes belly up, then I'll go, lol....unless they put one in Taunton (hahahaha)
