Hard poker hands at Foxwoods. I think I won only two pots before I went to eat at 1PM and had a losing session after eating. I ended down $122 for the day My best hand was four Aces and I got paid on the river. There was a very loose player who could not seem to fold hands that he knew were losers.
Most of the players were good, but I would have done fine had I got any decent hands. I folded a pair of nines before the river and a winning nine came. That was frustrating.
One hand I caught trip deuces on the flop. My opponent caught trip kings on the turn. He had raised on the turn and I had reraised feeling very confident. For some reason he could not figure that he had the nuts, so he did not raise my be on the river. It was a surprise to see such a strong hand. Even the dealer was surprised. His kings were the nuts.
The players were friendly enough, but not very interesting. A few joked a bit.
I had a fine enough time.
The buffet was as good as ever. I ate a couple helpings of mussels, a good spinach salad, some wonderful green cooked at the Chinese section, a sweet potato and a nice piece of corn bread. I had a very few deep fried clams. I skipped the sugar free pie.
I played roulette again and had a fun time. I lost $20, but really had a huge losing session. I put in $20 and did not notice that my bets were $10 each instead of a dollar. I hit a black number in the third column and so won both my bets and had $50 after that first hand. Then it went downhill with plenty of single zeros showing up. On my free play I played a fifty cent two coin slot and won $5 on the first $10 and then $5 on the second $5. So all my play outside of poker cost me $10.
They had the ten drawings for $100 and I was there for them, taking a break from the poker table. No luck.
The old folks gift was a cheap little bag that is worn about the hip. I was disappointed in that, but the two free coffees woke me up and I did not get tired until the end of the day.
The bus was almost completely full, but I found a seat next to a very friendly woman and we talked Vegas all the way down. On the way back I watched a movie I had seen before about a tour guide in Greece who finds happiness and love. It was funny and passed the time. Then I napped.
On the bus I met Brenda Temple's nephew and also the first wife of Ward DeWitt, Marion. It was fine to see her again. She told me Linda Jackson had retired.
I had dreaded the bus ride as the $11 price meant every seat was taken, but it ended up one of the easier rides. You never know.
This one cost me. The cash price was $11 but I needed to use up the last free voucher which cost me $20 in points. I have more than $40 in comps, but Foxwoods won't clear them out in January when they do the clearing for the year. At lest that is what the host told me when I asked. They should still be there when I go back next year. I hope that is right. I would otherwise have used them for lunch and used my buffet ticket as a matchplay. I may do that anyway on the next trip, but I might also do an overnight with my points giving me plenty of free eats.
I'll miss the poker in Florida. It is not as good there. I won't try to play as much as I do here.
No more news on Mohegan Sun poker room closing, so that may have been a rumor.
