Great Foxwoods ad seen during sox/yanks game
 

this guy's playing internet poker in his basement. his hole cards are jack five offsuit. the board's J8735. he wins, and the screen flashes "WINNER!" so he stands up and starts shouting "YEAH! I WIN! I AM A WINNER! YEAHHHH!" i guess the ad is supposed to say how brick and mortar poker isn't rigged or something, because i can't help but thinking that this is a completely accurate depiction of the average internet poker player.

clearly the ad is trying to say if you want to play poker, get out of your parents basement and head to a live poker room (i mean, the guy looks around and trails off as he's shouting "im a winner")

Yes, because at a live poker room, when you start yeling I'M A WINNER, everyone cheers with you. Even the people whose money you just took.

Re: Great Foxwoods ad seen during sox/yanks game
 

Foxwoods has another ad where the guys are playing poker with food (Pretzels, cookies, etc), and it seems only 1 of them knows the value of each one while the others think they are snacks, or a smaller denomination....LOL

The tag line is that Foxwoods is the only place in New England where you can play poker, so I guess they don't have Poker at Mohegan Sun. Are there plans for Poker at Mohegan Sun in the future?

Here it is on their web site, about half way down.

I have been asking the old floor and dealers that I know, and it looks like it is pushed back some. So it will probably be somewhat later then spring 2008. I have my friends who will be telling me when they post internally for dealers, that's the first sign I am waiting to see.

LOL at accuracy of this report re. M Sun PR...reporter accepts at face value the whitewash b.s. about 2003's closing. I'm 100000% positive it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with:

*supervisors running hookers in 'n out of the place 24/7
*cash cage personnel scouting big winners/bankrolls to be targets of several gangs & teams of hookers to get "rolled"
*cocktail servers doubling as drug runners
*dealers engaged in an on-going, organized, systematic skim of tourney re-buy cash
*and, the well-publicized at the time federal, state, local and tribal investigations into these and other activities

They dodged the poker boom by closing it in 2003. They will reopen next year when hopefully it has all subsided.
