Hi Everyone,
Went to Foxwoods for the first time in my life this week. Overall, I thought they offered the best game nationwide for those betting less than $50 per hand (the HL games in Vegas, 6D LS S17 RA, are the absolute best).
The rules in Foxwoods are basically 8D LS S17 with 75% - 80% pen.
I found the atmosphere to be pleasant. Overall, the dealers were friendly and the ploppies weren't drunken idiots.
The big negative with Foxwoods is that the BJ tables are managed to be full. They desperately try to pack as many players at a table as they can. When things get busy, you get squished at the tables. There is no elbow room, and it's just uncomfortable. My advice is to avoid the Rainmaker casino, they have the biggest crowds. You are more likely to have only two or three players at a table in the MGM or the Cedar Casino.
BTW, if you want a cheap ride to Foxwoods (or Mohegan) from NYC, then I highly recommend the Chinese buses from Flushing, Queens (located at Main Street and 40th Road). For only $10, you get a round trip ticket, free buffet and $40 in match play coupons. It's a great deal. The only negative is that the bus shows a Chinese soap opera for the entire ride, without English subtitles, and it's pretty loud.
