Over the Edge — Part IV

Instead take I-95 exit 76 for 395 North. Take that to 79A. Stay to your left. The exit ends in less than a mile, and you'll take a left at the light, then an immediate right onto 2A East. Follow the Foxwoods signs for the next seven miles.

I guess I just don't get this article. If I want directions to Foxwoods, I can use the internet. I think this entire article could have been summed up with about a paragraph.

Yep It could have been said in a few words. The new room at Foxwoods was a disappointment. However I enjoyed the rundown. I also will not be in a great hurry to run over there. I guess that means I will not need the directions.

If I did need the directions however I would surely appreciate having 12 minutes of my time saved over the directions I could get off the net.

I am not a fan of BVT but I thought this one was worth the read. Then again I wouldn’t have minded a three part Table Coach serial so maybe I am just warped. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif Wait a minute. I play poker for a living. Of coarse I’m warped.

if i didn't live in the northwest 'burbs of chicago this would probably be of some interest. but then again...

Starbird - Good catch.

Your Mom - Directions were a minor aside. I'm not sure what you didn't get -- but since only hundreds were there to witness the opening of the new Foxwoods poker room, this was to serve as a play-by-play for those that couldn't be there.

Tagged - Such a summation without the journey is a travesty. Read it again -- you'll be a fan of the BVTE.

Genius - Living in Chicago meant it was even harder for you to be there for the grand opening. Now ... it's almost like you were there, no? (Hopefully.)

Sorry a few folks didn't find this a fanciful jaunt through the wonder of it all. Hopefully OtE #5 next month will be more to your liking.

I didn't get why this is 2+2 mag. worthy. I just don't see why anyone would care. We all know most cardrooms are run by a bunch of dumbshits that don't know what they are doing.

This wasn't my main point at all.

I'm not sure how many of the rooms across our country and across the world you've been in, but I don't personally know how most are run -- and while most of the ones I've been in I would have a suggestion or three as to how to run them better, ultimately, I think running a room of any decent size is a lot harder than most realize.

Ok, what is your point then?

[BarronVangorToth]

The journey.

Does Foxwoods have $1/$2 limit now, or was the floorman talking about the NL game?

$1-$2 usually refers to their NL game as it's traditionally their smallest.

I don't think they run $1-$2 limit.

I was there Sunday of the opening wknd and I was pretty sure I saw one table of 1/2 limit on the screen. Should've verified it though.
