Seneca tips and questions

Exchange Rate:

Seneca used to buy back your American dollars at the same rate they bought them for. But they stopped doing that.

So no more vig free currency exchange.

When you cross the boarder to seneca do you have to claim how much $$$ you are bringing in?

5K+ ??

Yes

If you are bringing more than 10K you must declare it to *Canadian* customs before you get to the US.

I always declare how much I'm bringing. Supposedly they can seize your cash if you don't declare it.

One bad thing about going to Seneca is the border questioning.

alright cool

also, do I state that I am only coming across to gamble?

seems like stating im bringing a few K and going to gamble might be frowned upon by the guards, no?

Yes, you will get disparaging looks and remarks from the guards.

They will ask you why you're going to Seneca and not Fallsview.

You must lie.

Don't say, "Dumb Americans!"

Say, "Free beer!"

compuease

It is mandatory to declare 10K or more even if you are not asked in either direction.. However I would say you only get asked maybe 25% of the time. If you are less than 10K you do not need to volunteer the info..However do NOT lie... Oh and you need a valid passport.

Never been asked about going to Fallsview vs Seneca... I think the Americans are hoping we will leave our money there, not bring more back and most of the time their hope becomes reality...

Lot's of good info ITT, all I can do is cross my fingers and hold my breath this is still a go and everything goes alright now.

Seems like a pretty bankroll for Seneca lol. I have never had a problem with crossing to Seneca. Just be honest and tell them you dont want to wait 4 hours to play poker.

I have been going to seneca prolly once a month for the last 18 or so month on avg, havent been for a bit lately, none the less the 2/5 game usually quite beatable depending more whom you sit beside, a handful of nits, a handful of gamblers and regs.

As per the border I do tell them the truth "fallsview sucks and has a sitdown fee!" yes the rake is rough but thats if you play, I know full well how cold things can get when you sit to the right of a reg who raises 35% of the time and you keep looking at 83 off suit!

The tim hortons sucks ass! slowest in all the world, take it from someone who knows, the only reason I go is because the lemonade which comes to canada on monday!!

My bad I did not see this thread earlier.

And yes i declare, course I am under 2k when I go anyway....been searched only twice on the way home and its pretty quick actually, 5 minutes tops.

Nah I never have issues at the border, course if you come back ahead or whatever, just be honest keep your cash in your pockets, not your wallet LOL.

Lastly at 2/5 3 bets get pretty much absolutely NO RESPECT, you will be called by the raiser and who over calls 90% or more unless you ship!, then its no rake thats how I view it!....especially waking up with AA...that and probably one of the best, pre-flop chop is fine too, I did it trying to act like i was steaming and moved over someones $40 bet for $550, someone over moved in on me with AA as well, we chopped the 40 PFFT!

Yes, I dread the boarder crossing.

The guards are pumped up with fear.

Always find the CBSA trolls to be worse than the US folks

The Rainbow bridge is the gateway to the armpit of America. If you cross there it can only be for two reasons: you are flying out of Buffalo to get the hell away from Buffalo or you are going to Seneca. Crossing for any other reason would be suspicious. Stick to those two main things and you will have no problems.
