Foxwoods 4/27-28 & advice from those who have been lately

[shuinthehouse]

I am heading to Foxwoods for Friday 4/27, and probably 4/28 also. This will be my first B&M since I started playing on-line in October. From about ’93-98 I logged about 500 hours a year playing 5-10 stud at Foxwoods, but stopped playing poker altogether after marriage/kids until I picked up hold-em online.

Couple questions for those who go there (doc, man of means, etc.):

From trip reports, I see people signing up and waiting a long time for a table. Are you no longer able to phone in your name to the list (I used to do this when I was about 30 mins away)?

If I get there for noon on both Friday and Saturday, will I have beaten the rush and be able to get on a table fairly quickly? I plan to play about noon-midnight each day. I have about a 75 minute ride back to home in Massachusetts.

From what I read of trip reports, 2-4 seems like the level for me. My online track record in chronological order is: +160 BB 4k hands .25-50 stars, + 80 BB 2k hands .5-1.0 Stars (thinking I’m pretty good), -380 BB 10k hands .5-1.0 FTP (thinking I suck), +320 BB 12k hands .5-1.0 FTP (realizing there’s a lot of variance in poker). So I am about 25 BB in 25k hands .5-1.0, basically breakeven before boni.

Anyone else going to be there?
