Lower Mainland poker tournaments
Anyone know of any upcoming poker tournaments in the lower mainland? I only know of the riverrock tournaments (which i might be going to this week!!). I've only played in one other tournament which was a charity event, but now im looking for bigger payouts. I'm quite new to the poker scene and got addicted to watching all those wpt tournaments on citytv! Anyways any info u can pass to me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Also anyone know where to get pokerchips around the lower mainland? I'm trying to look for a place that sells in small quantities as well as in sets.

So your snarky comment "I'm not sure where you pulled that impression from after 2 or 3 days of posting here. Take a look around before you pass a judgement like that." reads a bit funny.

i understand that the replies so far seem a little blunt or unwelcoming, but think of it from the other point of view:
IMHO the sharp tone of the replies comes from the shock that anyone would call this forum unwelcoming. compare this to any other pokerforum (RGP, 2+2, etc...) and im sure youll understand what we mean
the relatively small community here is actually very welcoming. in fact, id like to welcome both of you to it now
not many peeps from vancouver here, mainly ontario. also keep in mind that your question may have been asked and responded to already several times. Try a search... Sorry you felt unwelcomed, I have always found this forum to be the opposite!

Ralphthemouse, you have a good point, and from a different perspective I respect and fully appreciate the slight defensiveness for this Canadian Poker Forum. I am, myself, Canadian and a poker-player. :canada:
At times I am in concision mode. It's an old law-habit. Honestly, the colour of my criticism was less harsh than it sounded, or was meant to sound, rather.
Thank-you for the warm welcome! The day I joined I was feeling probably a little more earnest and uptight than usual. (That was Negreanu's big day, too.) Probably I felt a twinge of disappointment to see 104 reads to my post and no hello's. For my part, I apologize and unequivocally retract my hasty criticisms.
Regarding the (illegal) cardroom scene in Vancouver it's going to have to be one of those "find out when you get there" sort of things, and the "get there" part is a while away just yet. Like I said, I've been away for awhile.
RiverRock sounds pretty good. I was looking at their menu for the buffet by the cardroom! At 4-8he the lunch buffett costs two and half big bets, but if there is a 5-10he, or even 25-50he table then, well, you can see how it's not hard to get used to a five star meal five or six times a week.
Gotta find the edges.
Of course, welcome to the forum. Scotty, haven't you sent out the welcome package yet?
I doubt most people would usually just reply to an introduction unless they had something useful to say. I was a bit offended by your original post since I have only been here such a short while but have found such great help from all the others. But that is all water under the bridge. Give these guys a chance - they are very knowledgable. As one of the others mentioned, most of the posters are not from BC, so we can't help much with BC-specific questions.
You will find the people here have a great sense of humour and can be very helpful with technical poker questions. I thought the pet comment was hilarious.
Enjoy the forum.

So, you DID get a welcome. I guess your 15 minutes are up, though.
