You can say what you will, but I would not post anything until the deal is signed.
That happened on Friday

Of last week? And yes that's probably why I didn't start rumor mill and look oh so smart when it went through and when the details become available you will be able to find them here. A few of a regular members will also have and won't need to redirect to another site.

I also think its pretty awesome that they are having their own private party for 2 rings. Sounds "worldly" and "Canadian" to me.
BCSOP?

Nothing real, just trolling the guy with a post count of 6, all promotional that posts "news" without seeing we already had an active thread a week ago on topic...
Bored really.
Plus I will continually bust the west coast guys balls about these 2 PlayNow tourneys, dumbest idea ever. I am pretty sure if the situation was reversed, they would go apeshit.
Again, bored

Contacted BCLC on your behalf, jontm to ask why Quebecers are permitted to play on Playnow. Simply put Quebec and BC lottery corps have worked out some sort of deal to do it. Manitoba is also working on doing the same. Suggest you and your poker pals lobby Alberta Lotteries to do like wise and you can play too.
Best of luck

Wat?
I am well aware that Espacejoeur and PlayNow are basically skins in same network, as Quebecers also won seats to last years BCPC's and they share the BBJ...as for Manitoba, wrote this up about 6 months ago, but believe Ontario is up next in line. Saskatchewan Gaming has made positive statements towards being pro provincially regulated sites and as far as Alberta goes, oddly enough we expect they will be the last to get on board.
They are very anti-online in their regulations right now and that doesn't look to change anytime soon.
Of what I gather, each province may or may not get onboard what BC and QC have going, or will choose more of an intra-provincial network, isolating themselves from them other anyway. This will most likely never be a country wide network.
MaPoker
Hmm, the provinces managed to get it together and nationalize 6-49 and Lotto Max, so they should be able to work out a similar sort of arrangement for Poker. Just gotta wanna do it.
I see the Maritimes are buying into some British treasure hunt thing that flopped over there. When will people figure out buying anything from the Brits is a waste of money.

Also, this is a bit gross...good thing WSOP has built up it's image....
Via Allen Kessler, WSOPC standardize event info page concours:
"Actual wsopc new rake is $300+65, $500+80, $1500+175, last year was $291+64, $485+80 and $1455+145. This year apparently no 3% or addon."

So for the main event for example. Take 3% off the $1455 which is like $44 so last year total rake was $189 so this year the rake is less with $175?

Yes lower, but still the highest MTT rake in Canada...weeeee
Brand power. You and I prob won't agree here, my wife and I don't even, so will most likely leave it at that...almost. I just don't see how a player beating 350 players in a $550 in Regina and getting a ring and tons of cash is not = to or > than beating less for less somewhere else.
I think both wins are wins and deserve huge kudos, but disagree that one is worth paying much more for. Bren is about bragging rights likes you, which has its purpose, but I am about making cash.
This is why I would rather BAP a player I think is much better than play myself, but so far playing weaker players at various local home games has been still been twice as profitable ROI wise...but with zero glory.
However, I chop way more than most and short stack or play limit cash so I hardly have the same potential for a huge score as those with yours and my wife's views and when push comes to shove I know my day job hourly is close to a better $2/$5 players win rate, so I'm more of an investor/tourist than player.
Anywhoo...I digress.
