Foxwoods on $200?

Elke · #1 06-25-2006, 01:23 AM

Headed to the Foxwoods poker room next week, looking to stake about $200 for maybe 12 hours of play. Any recommendations for what limit I should play?

I consider myself better than the average tourist, so I don't plan on donking my money away in bad spots. I'm assuming $200 would be good for a night of 2/4, but should I go even higher and get more bang for my buck?

Any opinions from you B&M guys would be appreciated.

personally i'd just play two of the ultra-soft $80 sng's, but it seems like youre looking more like an extended amount of playing time rather than the most profitable route for the amount of money you have.

I'm looking to play the whole time I'm there, for a full overnight. Plus my limit ring game is my strongest suit currently. This is primarily a bankroll question, regarding how high of a limit I can play with $200 for the night.

You could get either in a 2/4 or 3/6 easily with that amount of stake.

you can divide it up into 5 nice stacks for the min buy in at $1/2 NL

If you just want to play all night, start out at 2/4 and see how it goes. You can move up to 4/8 though the tables there are hit or miss. I think I'm quitting limit at FW because the 1/2 NL game is such a joke.

play the $80 sng's.. and make the money, otherwise you might be in for a very short night at foxwoods with $200.

This is the correct answer. Then post results in BBV.

$200 might be enough at 4/8 if you play tight. The games are so loose that you can end up limping in late position with almost any two suited without -EV, so if you're playing "ideal" SSHE and keep missing, you can go through $200 at 4/8 really quickly. The last time I sat in that game I went through about $360 in an hour and a half pumping pots with draws that didn't come in, and I had two "set over set" confrontations which I was on the wrong side of.

If you play considerably tighter, your variance will go down and you might be able to make it last at 4/8. If I were you, I would just move down to 2/4 and then move up if things go your way and you've still got the $200 or more after a few hours.

The games are ridiculous.
