not if u want to sign it realy dont.
never mind some of us play there basicly everyweekend so the floor knows us

that's easy. sign in about 20 minutes after you sit down--the floorperson never remembers the initials you were seated under. also, if you play there often, you can solve the problem by using different initials each time you sign up..that way the floor will never associate a particular set of initials with you.

also, the OP's name was PokerNeophyte, indicating that he is a new-ish player and therefore it's unlikely the floor already knows his initials.

I was there for the past three nights and it's a fricken zoo, so disorganized (although most of the staff seemed to be doing what they could given the situation they're in)

Checking out to collect your points can be a real pain as they rummage through slips trying to find your name. Why it isn't all computerized is beyond me.

Anyway, wait times are very long midweek, so expect even worse on the weekends. I waited an hour and a half easily during prime-time hours the other night to get into any game 10/20 to 30/60 that was either O8 or mixed (HORSE, SHOE, OE, HOE, etc)

Games are juicy as sin though. Hoping to head up next week for a night or two. Anyone with a room looking to split costs please PM me. Non-smoker, light drinker.

yeah clearly this doesn't work- this trick is WAY too complex to really be effective.

Today was unbelievable because of the $1200 no limit tournament. I signed up at 11 AM for $20/$40, $10/20, and $1/2 no limit.
I was called in two hours and 15 minutes for $1/2
Three hours and 15 minutes for $20/$40 and
Six hours (no exaggeration, I was called at 5PM) for $10/$20

Not to mention I drove all the way down from Boston to play my act II that I had a coupon for. I get there at 3:30....oh we're sorry, we aren't running act satellites until 7pm.

WTF.

Website says all day every day from 10am to midnight. (Except when we decide to change it, they left that part out.)

Ok so I'll go sign up for cash game, kill some time.

Me:How many you got for 4/8 holdem?
Them: we have 7 tables running, the wait list is 216 players long.
Me: 1/2 NL?
Them: 187 people.
Me: hahaha, ok bye.

Go upstairs, guess I'll kill time watching college football.

Nope! Breeders cup on every TV in the joint.

Sat on my ass smoking butts for 4 hours watching horse racing.

If you are going to run a huge WPT event, you would think you could eliminate a few cash tables, or set up a few more, so that people can attempt to satellite into it.

I've never had anyone check me at the 1-2, but I have at the 2-5. Even so, I think I prefer to leave the bluffing for after I'm seated. During the week when there's no tourney on, I'm usually fine, so I might just wait another week or so.

I'm so glad I didn't drive down this weekend. In fact, I can't understand why any cash game player would have wanted to be there in the midst of that chaos. It's not like the cash games aren't donktastic enough on normal days.

Depends on what you play. I can't stand limit hold em or NL cash games. The best I can get at Foxwoods is a 4/8 with a half-kill Omaha hi/lo game (since I'm not bankrolled for 75/150, the next jump up)

But while the WPT is in town, I can find O8 or mixed games (SHOE, OE, HOE and HORSE) ranging from 10/20 through 30/60 that I feel comfortably rolled for.

And the players are awful, I mean really bad.
