Ignoring the disincentives to work hard when pooliong any good dealers that might be at Foxwoods will soon leave to go some place where they can keep their own tokes.

Anecdotally, most of the good FW dealers (yes, there are some) have told me that they have other motives to stay in CT -- family, school, the usual. It makes sense, really. For most people dealing isn't a profession they'd move to pursue at the highest levels and get rewarded better for, just a way to pay the bills. This even holds for some who take pride in doing it well.
If there were a casino down the street letting dealers keep tokes, I'm sure they'd take all the good FW dealers in an instant. But ironically I think it was the misdeeds of the "
casino down the street" that led them to institute this policy if I'm not wrong.
To whomever mentioned Kathy Raymond: She's now at the Venetian in LV, last I heard.
