Woodbine Raceway Poker Room

Anyone know whether they are planning any MTT soon?

Anyone know whether comp collected ever expires?

For a solid winning player (5-10% of the poker population) a run like this, I would estimate, is probably within 2 std dev. It's an unlikely event but when you consider how many customers a card room has it's not unthinkable. It is improbable but as gamblers we should all understand that black swans exist.

I been visiting woodbine regularly over the past one month. (been to fallsview only once) I have to say this place is pure FISH TANK. Especially friday/saturday nights.

I switch between 1/2 and 2/5.

in my openion...
the software adds little action to game but I don't think it favors a seat/player/
for sure its programmed to take max rake every hand.
I seen too many set over set on flop, to many runner runner flush.

it is very possible to make 20k playing 2/5 or 5/5 in one month.
I have cashed out 2500+ more than once playing 1/2
also $4500 playing 2/5 (this is after losing a 3000k pot to this idiot who chased his gutshot to river) hahaha

anyways My screen name is My real name YAMA.
peace out.

Mohawk runs a $100 tournament every Sunday @ 2pm. 30 players max and latley they've been close to selling out.

Good structure - 10K start stack, 20 min. blind levels, top 3 payout, plenty of playing time since it's Virtual Poker...

Extremely soft play

Yeah, 10% is pretty standard.

Finally made it out to Woodbine on a Friday. Got there are around 7:30pm and all tables were full. 15+ players on both the 1/2 and 2/5 lists. tables running 1/2(7), 2/5 (3) and 5/5 (1). Takes about 15 minutes to get casino card (at poker room) and then you have to go to the cashier to open a Poker Pro account (pick username, make deposit on card). Then you can put your name on the lists. Signed up for all three lists, and got on 5/5 about 30 minutes (only 7 players waiting). Only played about 1 hour and game was decent. Didn't see any crazy action but more all-ins than usual, especially short stacks. Players don't really seem to take a lot of time to make a decision. No pre-flop three betting. Average stack was pretty low for 5/5.

Some comments/observations:

- when players sign up for more than one list, they should ask them if they want to stay on the other lists when they get called to the table. This would save a lot of time calling out player's names that are already playing;

- they should have chip runners since you can only add cash to your table by going to the cashier. Would be a real pain. Give the runner your cash, they will give you a marker and they will go to the cage to deposit the funds on your card for you.

- indicate raise on player's individual screen; sometimes its hard to know the raise amount as you can only see stacks of chips on the main screen in front of the player.

- put a mini cashier in the poker room so you can cash out easier than having to go to the main cage. Probably most players just leave funds on their card which encourages them to come back again.

Definitely worth a visit.

You can also rabbit hunt every hand (think they charge $0.25 rake).

I asked that question on Wednesday. They figure to have a 3-5 table tournament starting in about 2 months.

Reasoning is the staff all need training before the can do it. Comps I think are only for 90 days I believe.

Btw another positive trip. When you realize they will call off with TP and no kicker its easier to win. Played 1/2...over all I thought it was a soft game, but could have been just my table.

blackmagicz

Yeah the 1-2 is so soft I don't even mind playing @ that level. As long as I can pull in a decent amount over a couple of hours the drive is worth it.

Everyone making 1k an hour itt

I lost $162 playing one hour of 5/5 but I suck. Can see it being profitable and highly addictive.

JimmyHo

oh yah, how about some valet service...or at least some markers in the parking lot..not fun walking around in -10 degree weather looking for your car....not fun...

My Bad - they have valet service, not sure how much?

It cost me everything to sit with her;(

JimmyHo

anyone else notice all the dealers have one common attribute? I see a pending discrimination case coming.

Card Dead

So I made my first trip to Woodbine last night.

They had all but one table open, and not much of a list. Biggest game was $2/$5 (3 tables). Seemed awfully quiet for a Saturday night, but I guess the 0.1mm of snow kept everybody at home.

Ambiance and service completely suck, but the incredibly poor play more than compensated. I can see it being very profitable for an average to good player, even at $1/$2. I was able to steal a bunch of pots with very little resistance, and got to see TONS of super-cheap flops with very marginal hands.

You know it's going to be a good session when the following hand happens:

UTG raise to $9, 1 caller in MP, you call $7 more from the BB with QTos,

Flop: QdTs6s

You bet $20, UTG makes it $50, MP calls, you shove $225 more, both players are covered with about $150 each and both call

UTG has JJ, MP has Q8os YAY!!

I would of had a killer night if my KK had held against AK (-$600), but still left with +$650 after 8 hrs.

Worth checking out.
