foxwoods
well I've always gone to foxwoods. I really only started playing about 2 years ago, and because of my location its the only game in town. Until recently i was just a basic strategy player. I can say I studied it and followed it well. I took a trip down to Vegas this last Nov, and killed em'. All of them! I got there on a thur at like 3pm, and didn't stop playing until 6am Sat. Took a 3 hour nap and hit them again until I left Sunday night. So I got about 80ish hours in in a 4 day trip! It was pretty sweet. I only played basic strategy, and started with just $300. We played maybe 2 or 3 shoes in one place, and moved to the next alllll the way up the stip, and alllll they way back down. And then did it again. I came home with +$4500! After I got back I wondered why I did so well down there, but pretty much suck at Foxwoods. I chalked it up to the fact that Foxwoods really only plays 8 Deck. So I decided that 8 deck was to be avoided. Thats when I called the Fox, and Mo and asked if they offer anything smaller like 6. Sure enough they do, but an $50 min. So I took the trip down to Foxwoods with $1000, (wayyyy under the correct amount for $50 hands) and got killed again. The "dealers" were on fire. I moved around but no matter what table I sat at, the dealers were pullin BJ's left and right. I was never up, not once! Since my return I have been studying card counting. I play a couple hundred hands a night of 6 deck on my own table, and have been doing pretty well. My main concern has been money management. Anyway I really can't afford to be shootin $50 hands out there at the Fox, but the 8 deck doesn't seem to be the answer... should I be It seems like NY is the next closest step for me or Atlantic City, but not sure it will make a big enough difference for the cost of the travel.
