after Friday's session, was able to get my hourly rate at Woodbine above $100 to $135/hr. Although, still waiting to have my first winning session at $1/$2 Omaha :)

only five sessions...definitely not maintainable at that rate. Most impressive is my aces have held both times all in pre-flop versus kings. Personally I like the 5/5 game as most of the players usually have $1 to $2k in front of them. Its a very deep 5/5 game.

What's the min/max on the 5/5 game?

Max 1k, Min is maybe 200 or 250? Not 100% sure.

$200 to $1k; sometimes they try to force everyone to straddle every hand

I hate having 200 or less for 1/2, I can't imagine playing 5/5 with 200

usually the 5/5 list is a lot shorter than 1/2, so the odd 1/2 player will join the 5/5 table for $200. Actually the 5/5 players usually buy in pretty deep considering it is 200BB game. Obvious sign there is demand for $5/$10 +.

Last night at Woodbine I took a look at one of the 2/5 games and one of the players had a chip count of $4926 in front of him and two other players had over $2000. Still have never tried the NL 2/5 game yet,but one day soon I'm going to bring my 1/2 winnings and just try my luck on the higher limit game.

A week ago, my buddy drove us out to Georgian Downs on a Thursday night where I got to play 1/2 there.I found that particular table a lot easier and softer than tables at Woodbine.

JimmyHo

anyone heading to Woodbine tonight? likely starting w Omaha, followed by some 5/5 and 2/5. Fridays are always has a good mix of players. Need to get one positive Omaha session :)

you should definitly try 2/5, you will do very well if your winning player.

8:45 on Sat nite, 10+ players on WL for 1/2 and 2/5, 2 open tables........

Sigh!

Was there PLO offered? And what nights?

JimmyHo

No Ohama on Friday, had a list maybe 10 players but all the other tables were running already so no space.

Self brag, was able to up my hourly rate LTD to $143 after Friday's session :)

Card Dead

There was Omaha on Saturday night.

never seen open tables with players waiting on a weekend, this ain't Fallsview :)

Card Dead

Their rationale was, and I quote:

"There's no point opening up a new table because as soon as we do, the room starts to empty out. Even at 9pm on a Saturday night."

Really? This is your thought process? Soon it will be just like Fallsview with this kind of thinking .

westside8

I also hate their "moving players to the main game" rationale. Say there is 2 tables of 2/5NL, if their "main" (first) table has a player leave, regardless of the number of players on the second table, they'll move someone over to the first table.

When will Woodbine start having tournaments? There are 1-4 electronic tournaments most days of the week in the other electronic rooms.

Is it the consensus that Woodbine has become the best B&M room in Ontario to play cash games, i.e., more +EV than Fallsview & Brantford? Is the rake 10% up to $5? Do you get at least 40 hands/hour?
