I believe the tourney starts this Saturday, you can check www.foxwoods.com for the schedule (click on gaming and then poker)

You could also call their poker room, as I'm not a NL cash player so I can't say how high they go. I'm assuming they've had 5/10 through maybe even 25/50 NL cash games, not sure if there's been anything higher.

25-50 has been going fairly regularly since the WPF started. I wouldn't be surprised if they got something bigger this weekend with the main event starting and more high rollers in town for that.

ARGGGGGGGGG I wanna get there earlier than Sat night so I can play cash games dammit!

[Taylor Caby]

is the poker room spreading more NL games than it used to? i was at this event in 2004 and it was a HUGE list for the big NL game. i never even got in the game in fact and just had to play online in the lobby.

foxwoods is a pretty good time though i'd recommend going to anyone who is uncertain.

I have never heard of Bo Toft. ...I dealt to him in a SNG and he was fairly quiet. Who "is" he?

[WMB]

Killah, if you get there Saturday night, expect a long, long, long wait to play.

[HEK]

I'm just going down there to crash Sat night...won't get in until like 11pm.

I luckedboxed out last night and got a hotel room right down the st. from FW. If anybody still needs one pm me and I'll shoot you the link where I found it.
