Pros - dealers are quick and game is run smoothly
- waitresses are very hot and revealingly dressed
- have not really had to wait to get a seat at a table
- tournaments run on time
- food is excellent
- wide range of games from 1/2 nl to 10/25
- PLO up to 5 5
- dealers are all fluent in english and french
Undecided - While the waitress's are hot I have had issues with them forgetting to bring drinks etc. Possibly the $1 tip isn't enough for them to remember.
A lot of donks there, however be prepared for the suckouts that occur.
Cons - Cards mark easy and are one way.... i.e. they have the name playground poker club and if one gets turned around you could possibly know which one (not sure if I'm explaining right) but I need sleep.
- not easy to find for the first time, but once you've been there it's fine.
- some of the players throw temper tantrums when their ace's get cracked, cursing swearing gets tolerated up to a point before they tell you to calm down.
Forgot to add rake:
No flop no drop. If flop $1 to Bad beat. 10% to rake to max $8. (that was at 1/2
Time to grab some sleep I will post more later.
That 8+1 rake must really cut into your win rate.
I guess it adds up to about $45,000 a year in rake if you play regularly?
Is it worth it compared to say, $4+1 rake at Seneca? Or 5+1 rake at Niagara?
