Woodbine Raceway Poker Room

daredevil158

Checked it out myself this weekend. NL game plays out the same (sometimes better) than Rama or Fallsview, therefore, no need for the looooong drives anymore!:)

I also liked it they offer to open up PLO whenever there is demand. Played it twice and it is action-packed ... not for the faint of heart!

Two complaints:
1) should open up a Limit table or two, long list of Port Perry and Brantford semi-regs, but they never bothered to try and open the table. I'm sure it will keep on running once it opens. They should have at least $3-6 and ideally $5-$10 or $10-$20 - not sure what they're licensed for though.
2) need to get servers in the poker room more often - waited an hour to get a drink

I went there last Saturday and the place was great. It took a long time when first getting signed up, but its so much nicer to play fast paced poker.

One thought though is that in the "stats" area it has a section where it says how close I am to reaching the current promotion. Does Woodbine have any promos running yet?

I wonder if they backup the info on the cards - say they get damaged?

Also, there are apps out there where people can steal your info off your credit/debit cards while they are still in your wallet. How long before someone figures out a way to transfer your money from your card to their card without you knowing it?

Well it's not quite that simple.. I assume you are referring to this article or something similar?

Hacker Demos Android App That Can Wirelessly Steal And Use Credit Cards' Data - Forbes

While theoretically possible, I don't believe there have been any successful documented cases to date.. It's still way safer than the mag card swipe.

Been to woodbine twice now and i love it. Playing 2 - 5 both times. Up 959 the first time and 1019 the second time. Total 8 hours play time.

I see lots of Fallsview regulars but people seem to be making such thin calls. I know i shouldn't be able to sustain anywhere near a $ 250/ hr For too long but it's fun for now.

SUPERCNC;337711 wroteThe experience I am sharing was at Mowhawk :) Was there this past Sunday. Yes i know i posted in the Woodbine thread but part of the topic is about the Poker Pro tables. . Not that I am concerned too much about big brother as our winnings are tax free. Its just more info they can gather. When you load up onto your winners circle card you have to present ID to cash in or out. Its secure I guess but I would hate to loose the card. In live cash they cant really track your play that accurately as they can now with these.

FYI. Lost my card the first day with almost 2000 on it. It is 100% secure. You need the card, photo id and your pin #. Just go back to where they issue the cards and they give you new one.

Woodbinepoker;331296 wroteConstruction on the Woodbine poker lounge is progressing nicely and we'll be opening to the public on Friday October 26th. We're working on our opening strategies now such as tournament schedules, offers etc. The room will feature 11 poker tek poker tables + 1 black jack table and will operate 24/7. Let me know your feedback on your experiences at other sites and what you would like to see in the room.

Feedback...........

Good staff working in the poker room especially the black woman with short hair, she is very helpful.

You need to figure out whats wrong with the heating and airconditioning system in that area. It was going from hot to really cold on Sat evening.

Cause they don't need dealers as soon as there are 6 players they open a new table. I waited 15 min.

Milo

Be there in a couple weeks . . . work thing.

Are you a regular at YRPL?

I've never played on these tables. What does everyone think of them?
I think I will have to try them out someday.

RAM_Eh

Got a solid tell on someone tonight lol. :-X. Playing 1/2

Call on the button with A 4 suited in clubs. 5 of us see the flop. Flop comes A 8 4 rainbow. Folded around to me and I make it 8. The BB moves all his chips to the betting line ($380.00), pulls them back, moves them forward again and moves all in. Everyone folds to me and I ask the guy why so much? I've never seen anyone turn so red. I call and the first thing he says is I made a mistake and miss clicked.

I won the hand but did have a sweat on the turn. Don't think he was angle shooting but what would you do?

Do you give him some money back?

Milo

You're kidding, right?

djgolfcan

Would he have given the money back had he won the hand, by mistake ?

RAM_Eh

I was not the only one who noticed that he may have made a mistake so a few at the table actually thought I may be angle shooting.

I did feel a little guilty but if I lost I would have felt worse!
