Everyone I've spoken to hates everything about this place. It's hard to get to, in the middle of nowhere, the tournaments are poorly run, the floor people are always wrong, the locals collude like crazy especially in the satellites, the discounted rooms sell out in 2 minutes, I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I come because I can drive here, if I had to fly I wouldn't.

Foxwoods is the poker equivalent of that skuzzy roadside carnival with the just-released-from-prison-after-serving-time-for-molesting-their-cousin’s-goat guy operating the rides. If you are just now discovering this fact, then you haven’t been paying attention to our story so far. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You got a couple of things wrong though. Foxwoods is not hard to get to if you live in Norwich. Although, if you live in Norwich, it may be due to the fact that you were just released from prison after serving time for molesting a goat.

The floor people are not always wrong. I recall an occasion two or three years ago when a new floor person actually made an exceptional decision that properly resolved a very tense situation.

Unfortunately, I heard that the next day he ran over a goat on the way to work and was beaten to death by a distraught man from Norwich.



Foxwoods also seems to have de-emphasized the marketing of the satellites. That, combined with a general reduction in traffic through the poker room over time could've reduced the number of players being fed into the ACT III's. (?) I could be full of it though since I don’t really pay much attention to the things.
