    Mohegan Sun 6-5 Tables

    Visiting MS late this Wednesday morning (8/15) I thought I'd take a look at the new $10 6-5 tables to see how they were doing. They had 4 tables open and each one had 4 to 5 players. Maybe it's just confirmation bias at work on my part, but the players didn't appear to be very smart. They all had a Gomer Pyle look about them.

    But what really surprised me was that some of the players seemed to be consistently betting $15 to $25 as their base unit. WTF? Just a few short steps away there were at least 5 or 6 $15 3-2 tables open with plenty of unoccupied seats. I was very tempted to go up and ask them, "Dude... what are you thinking?" But I resisted that urge and walked away just shaking my head in disbelief.

    I'd always thought of players at MS and Foxwoods as a bit more knowledgeable than those I've observed out in Las Vegas. In sin city many players are tourists; newbies who have either never played the game before or just play occasionally while on vacation. Connecticut players are there more often and have a better grasp of the game. Or so I thought. If you're going to play at a $15 level or higher, why whould you choose a 6-5 table?

    I’ve been at a casino that had a 6:5 and 3:2 table literally side by side and the rules and min bet were the same. Both were $10 mins. And guess what? There were more people on the 6:5 table. Who knows why?

    There is a casino in my area that has an ante on their lower min tables. You’ll see players playing it with their constant min bet higher than tables where they don’t have to pay an ante on every hand. They don’t care. They are as happy as pigs in mud.

    None of it makes any sense. But it just goes to show the casinos know what they’re doing. If people will play anything, they might as well make the rules as bad they will tolerate. Lol

    I've mentioned this before. Foxwoods has two $1 blackjack tables that have a 25 cent ante. They are the only blackjack tables dealt from dealt from CSMs. The ante is waived if the bet is $10 or higher. Walk by the tables in the Fox Tower and you very well could see a player betting 2 or even 3 spots at $5. Nothing like tripling the ante. Mind boggling is putting it mildly.
