I should clarify, normally, I would have stopped in early to get my seating card, but I didn't have time yesterday.

Had I done that, my chips would have been out and blinded off.

When I got there, I was treated like a new entry with new seat and brand new stack. I was preregistered, but without a seating card.

I believe this is consistent.

Why you hate Yellowhead so much?

Corey, if you see any results that have last names, mind grabbing? Guess Jerome and McClean had deep runs yesterday, dont know how it ended but 2nd and 4th at least.

Not sure how that is hate. Fair question. Have to think by now that there is a consistent way as to how late reg stacks are handled. YH will have more questions than most casinos here because they simply hold more events. I don't think I've ever mention anything that wasn't an honest opinion or question.

If casinos want to run better tournaments, I would suggest that they would like to hear customer feedback.

Your right about them hosting more. For what its worth i am complaining to them about not posting winners full names...

Let me rephrase.

You appear to have a lot of complaints about Yellowhead, but would it be fair to say that some are pretty standard for Alberta poker?

I began to "assume" you arent happy with them when you said their structure was too good. While I aggree, it should be a two day if it has to run till 9 am, but on the other hand, if a player has to put in a whole 18 hours to make a middle class working salary, aweee

Poker used to be such a more rugged game....

I wouldn't limit ourselves to making the best tournament experience in Alberta. If you can host a tournament series, you should make it the best possible experience for as many players as possible for the time/budget you have.

YH/Argyll have held a lot of tournament series successfully. I'm not happy or unhappy with some of the ways the events are held. I realize that you can't change everything and that some things won't ever change. I post these opinons and comments in case staff ever reads it, they can get a players prospective of the playing experience.

I also wouldn't say the structure is too good. The way I view it is that the structure is far from ideal for an one day event.

I am bieng a bit biased as I really like the staff at Yellowhead...with that said, Alberta tourneys have gone to shit for the most part and while we have lots, they certinly aren't the best...
Regina is very similar to YH in terms of player meals, structure etc, but they are just a little bit better, add a "souvineer" and get better numbers with less rake.

Winnipeg, now trumps Regina, in terms of attendance anyway and it seems their winners prizzing (tophy, watch, ring or whatever) is on par with Alberta's better casinos, which, YH is prob the best for tournaments and consistency in attendance.

Ontario, don't really like what I hear about Fallsview, def not a fane of Seneca after Kerr got taxed on BI for a $495 cash...but I can't deny their population and size. GBH seems to keep players reasonably happy.

Montreal, yes cash game rakes are high, but their promotions and comps trump everywhere else, so that balances a bit IMO.

Vancouver, obv BCPC is the most well balanced for numbers, structure, consistency, never heard a single good thing about cash games during though. The rakes for WSOPC are terrible, I doubt anything short of main will have that impressive of a structure to justify... anyone else tried this they get insta-crusified. Those some spensive rings.....

Playing at 14:00 MST........need to bink this or will be challenging for worst BAP'er of all time

T8urmoney

Confirmed worst BAP'er ever.......sorry guys.......busto'd 16th / 122

Bustout hand was AT in the SB, called buttons shove with 8bb's and lost the flip to 33 (3 in the window obv). I probly bust the hand regardless, BB folded 88, and was likely to call my shove.

I was happy with my play this time, managing to stay afloat despite a lack of cards in the final couple hours.

Thanks for the investments as always gentleman, probly gonna have to offer a negative markup next time.
