Default Re: Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun?

[ QUOTE ]
Foxwoods (FW) has 98 tables, is smoke free, has no competition within any reasonable travel distance, and is usually bursting at the seems on Saturdays with waiting lists over 40 for some games (though you can only see 20 on their screens). They have a very good variety of games at differing limits. O8 maxes out at 8/16, LHE at 20/40 (there might be a bigger game on request), NL is 10/25 ??? maybe higher. And stud up to 75/150... I think they have HOES as well...
Mohegan Sun (MS) will have 45 or 50 tables and is slated to open May 2008 less than 15 minutes by car from FW. No idea what games will play.

At FW all dealers pool their tips and I have heard that the floor gets something like $5 less per hour than at MS. At MS dealers won't pool their tips. Though MS is not currently hiring away FW dealers, my guess is that they will get the best ones within a short period of time after opening. Same with the Floor. Unless FW changes policy on a dime.

You mean HOSE, if you are looking for HOES then home depot is the place to go, if you are talkins about HO's then AC is the way to go.

So what about Foxwoods this weekend, in particular. More or less busy than usual on a holiday weekend?

I went to Foxwoods last Thanksgiving and the Friday was insanely busy. I was talking to one of the floors and he said that Memorial Day, Labour Day, and the Friday of Thanksgiving were their busiest days.

When I say busy I mean I showed up at 10:30am and waited 4 hours to get a seat at 4/8. People that showed up at 2 or 3 in the afternoon didn't get a seat until 9 or 10 at night.

Mohegan Sun does not have poker


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Poker room opens up next year.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Everyone has been saying Mohegan will re-open the poker room "next year" for the past several years. Until then, we'll all have to deal with Foxwood's idiotic floor people, inept dealers, and lack of edible food.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



You are WAY behind in the news. Mohegan Sun is expanding right now, they are already doing the construction. This isn't hearsay like it has been for the past 4 years, its a fact now - their website discusses the House of blues themed poker room which is being developed.

Was up at Mohegan over this past weekend. They have not started construction yet! No sign of a bulldozer anywhere. The closest thing to a construction crew they had was a guy in a pickup truck doing general maintenance.



Asked my host they are saying ready 2009, though if they don't get a move on, I don't even see that happening...

i thought this was FW or AC. AC hands down. It's just better and I've spent plenty of time at both.
