October 22nd Thru November 13th
Main Event Begins - November 7th

Schedule Here:
https://www.foxwoods.com/OurWonders/Gami...lyer4-12-07.pdf

Looks like a great schedule with a lot of midstakes events in october and a series of big fishy NL events leading up to the main event

Games:
Mid to High stakes Cash games during tournament time are usually
5-10/10-25/25-50 NL
20-40 40-80 50-100 100-200 LHE
50-100 75-150 100-200 200-400 Mix Games (Usually a subset of SHOE) OE and HOE tend to dominate

Foxwoods does not spread Triple Draw or Badugi

Rooms/Hotels:
Rooms are most likely sold out at poker rate everywhere but the two trees inn across the street, if they are i recommend the cedar park inn with nice rooms and tempurpedic beds.


Please arrange credit card roulettes, volcano swaps, hotel questions,volcano sharing, and discussion about things to do in the area in this thread

The Fudruckers at foxwoods holds the record for largest burger available at a restaurant, in all it weighs 30 pounds and costs 250$. I will be dissapointed if ordering one of these is not arranged

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information

Schedule location has changed but i think it's all the same events/dates

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

I've been saying this for the last few live events, but I'm 99% sure I'm going. This time I just have to not be a lazy [censored] and actually go. Will probably arrive late on Nov 1st and play the rest of the events in the series.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Assuming I don't quit poker before or during these events, I'll be there playing the $1000, $1500, $2000, $3000, $5000 and $10000.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Can anyone get the main event structure? In years past it has been beyond horrible. Interested to see if things have changed.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Im going straight to foxwoods after i bust from niagara. Is it neccesary to make reservations or does the hotel have literally a million rooms? I just dont know what date i would make the reservation for since im not sure when ill get there. Any advice what i should do?

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

tournament rate mostly sold out in days after it opened, i'd call asap and reserve whatever you can get now but they might already be booked at all 3 hotels

if foxwoods is sold out there are lots of recomendations on 2p2 as to local hotels and inns that are close

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

ok thanks for the info.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Should I worry about registering for the 1k --> 10k NL events ahead of time, or will I be able to register on the day of each event? I noticed there are field size limits...but I'm also afraid of registering for events I won't be able to play in [due to still being involved in the previous day's tournament.]

Thanks.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Looks like I'll be there from the $600 limit through the end.

-yeah, went there this weekend, cancel the college town/college tail concept. although i did spend every waking hour in the foxwoods dump...bleh so casino'd out.

beat: apartment is 40 miles from foxwoods....sigh. Gives me a chance to drive and wakeup in the morning though...

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

jon if you can eat that ill buy you into the ME. you can even have 24 hours to eat it.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

I'm disgusted over missing most events this time around (I played almost every one in April at FW, though I was upstaged pretty easily when my wife won the Ladies Event). But we've got a family illness kind of situation going on,,, and I have to miss most/all of it this time around.

If anyone hasn't gone up yet and doesn't know how they run things, I'd love to live vicariously through someone else and hand off any player info on some of the regulars (unbelievably bad) and formats there.

Tip 1 is to play the Act 3's (the 1k satellite into the 10k ME) every evening, whenever possible. They are HUGELY +EV, as the quality of play is just TERRIBLE, and there's alot of superscared money. Once you've got your ticket to the ME, you get to keep the 10k if you qualify again in the Act3 (5k cash and 5k lammers which are as good as cash). You can do this an unlimited number of times, if you wish.

Anyone?

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Please keep the tips coming.

Some random questions:

1. Are there 1 table satellites for smaller events (3k 5k etc.)?

2. Are there food comps?

3. What are the best cheap places to stay (not necessarily at FW but near)?

4. Wait times for the lowest limit limit games (my dad will be there part of the time)? Do they spread 2-4 limit?

5. I've been to FW but not in a few years, and never for a tourney, any major tourney rule differences vs LV?

6. Good ethnic restaurants (especially Indian) around?

Anyone can feel free to answer any or all.

In the past:

1)Yes, and sng's that pay 3 spots.
2)Points off Wampam card, and food ticket if make dinner break of tourny.
3) Best to stay there in Cedar Tree, don't know bout off site
4)Don't know about 2-4 but 3-6, 5-10, 10-20 20-40 and 50-100 and above durring tourny time.
5) No
6) Go to Cedars for a Steak

There were last year. If you're interested at all in the 10k, they started a new 1k winner-take-all SnG for entrance into that (but it hasnt really filled up yet - though I expect it to during the earlier events).

[ QUOTE ]
3. What are the best cheap places to stay (not necessarily at FW but near)?

[/ QUOTE ]

There's a new place nearby with nice new rooms, flatscreen tv's, etc. It's called the Bellisimo Grande, and it's pretty cheap (100ish for a nice room).

[/ QUOTE ]

They do spread 2-4 limit. The waits during tourney time can be brutal.

In Westerly (about 20 minutes away), there's some great ones: Senor Flacos (authentic Mexican), and a a great Thai place (forgot name) around the corner.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

Thanks for the responses guys. I like the idea of 3 player paying sit and gos.

The one time I went I remembered brutal wait times for almost all limit games.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

4)Don't know about 2-4 but 3-6, 5-10, 10-20 20-40 and 50-100 and above durring tourny time.

I've never seen 3-6 limt at Foxwoods. That used to be the smallest LHE game at Mohegan. FW spreads 2-4 and 4-8 limit. The 4-8 really is only marginally less fishy than the 2-4 and the rake is nowhere near as brutal.

The 5-10 is full kill at $100.

Re: 2007 Foxwoods WPF Thread/Roll Call/Information
 

I need to travel to NYC for a meeting on that Monday. If time permitted, I'll take a few days off and play the ME.

I haven't visited FW for 5 years, can't wait to be there again.

as already said, no, but you can play SnGs for seats into the main event, and when you have already won your first seat you get 5k cash, 5k tournament entry fees, which is as good as a sat for the others

2. Are there food comps?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, as said the wampum card (card you must have to register for tourneys) collects points base don how much you play and yo ucan redeem points for food.

3. What are the best cheap places to stay (not necessarily at FW but near)?

[/ QUOTE ]

It depends what you mean by best. Bellisimo Grande is the current recommended alternative, a little cheaper than Foxwoods hotels. Hilltop is right next to BG, but no cheaper than BG and kind of crappy (in comparison to BG). There are LOTS of lodges/B&Bs around the area. That may not sound like ideal for a poker trip, but really you won't spend much time in your room anyway and they are all cheaper than the hotels.

4. Wait times for the lowest limit limit games (my dad will be there part of the time)? Do they spread 2-4 limit?

As already said, can be bad when busy.

5. I've been to FW but not in a few years, and never for a tourney, any major tourney rule differences vs LV?

[/ QUOTE ]

Never been to Vegas, but a new tourney rule is you cannot touch or look at an electronic device (cell phone, music player) while in a hand, or your hand is automatically declared dead. Also, I think they are trying to enforce a relatively old rule that you aren't suppose to talk to other players in a hand at all, unless there are only two left in the tourney (but people still do it all the time)

6. Good ethnic restaurants (especially Indian) around?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol, hope you aren't coming to Foxwoods for the ethnic cuisine. Someone mentioned a couple of places in Westerly, probably your best bet, although I don't really know outside area. Is Dunkin' Donuts considered ethnic?

Cool. Thanks for the info. By best I meant inexpensive and convenient, clean but fancy not needed.

Me and two friends started a road trip off at Dunkin Donuts and as me and my friend ate a couple of donuts my other friend said to us "they are not m&ms"
