Underage seeking High Stakes - Foxwoods or Turningstone?

OK I am 18 years old and am looking to play live NL cash games with 5/10 or 10/20 blinds. I hear Foxwoods spreads these games often and can be fairly soft.

How strict is Foxwoods on identification?

I do not want to use a fake ID but I would be willing give the floor a C if I can sit in the big game. Is this silly?


Or should I just spend time at Turning Stone, an 18+ casino where I don't have to worry about legality.

How is the Turning Stone uncapped game? Usually tough?

I'd like to hear what people have to say about each casino and their big NL games. Thanks.

I find it a little difficult to believe that you're a 4000+ poster and yet are asking this question. Check out JBB's "Dont Post About..." post at the top of this thread. And wait 'til you're 21 (or whatever the age is in NY/CT...from your post I assume it's not 18).

Trying to give the floor at FW $100 especially as a minor would probably get you permanently thrown from our casino.
The floor can't accept gratuities of any kind legally.
They ID people and usually just throw them out if they don't present, I've never seen them hold the chips.

just take the trip up to TS, the uncapped game is (was at least, it may have changed) 5-10 blinds bring in for 20. most ppl buy in for ~$1,500 i think, plays bigger during tournament weeks, last time they had a tournament week they got a 25-50 game going. the uncapped game usually only runs friday night however.

I see people get tossed from FW often. Hell, even the waitresses will ID anyone who looks young, despite security having already, in theory, done so. And the floors I've dealt with would not only throw you out for trying to slip them money, they'd laugh while they're doing it.

I was playing at Foxwoods and got carded while in a hand. The floor asked me my height and weight, both of which I got wrong. Once I stood up and turned to him, he realized it was me and handed my ID right back to me - they card fairly well, and try to make sure that it's you on the ID and not a borrowed one. Don't waste your time and get banned.

How do these f-cking 18 year olds get the money to play 10/20 no limit?

[Jeffage]

They play poker well and win it? Or maybe go on a rush and win it? Or maybe they're just loaded. What difference does it make?

I'm almost positive if you are playing 20/40+ limit or 5/10+ NL you will never get carded if you don't order drinks. I'm friends with people that play 20/40 often underage at Foxwoods. You can likely get away with, but just keep in mind there is risk to be had...

if you look at all young in the new foxwoods room and arent of age, you WILL get tossed, period.
