Tournament Guide for Ontario

BlondeFish

I just got home from a long cash game session (winning), so I won't wake up in time for today's electronic tournaments. To those who play a tournament, please check your Electronic Poker Rewards (through a cashier or Winners Circle) before and after the tournament to confirm that we do get credited.

If Mohawk manages to have a Deep Stack tourney >= June 17, I'll play there.

Show up before 1pm to register or you may not get a seat.

Now that I've woken up & gotten a preliminary trip report, there was at least one forumer who cashed in today's sold-out tournament so congrats to her.

I'll be checking out the tournaments on Sunday's. I'm in Burlington and Mohawk is like 15 minutes away from my house.

BlondeFish

Those $90+$10 tournaments are better than most non-electronic tournaments, but the 20+ Mohawk players can request (905-854-4053 x240) even better options such as the $220+$10, $150+10 or $110+10 Deep Stacks. The higher the buy-in, the easier it is to beat the lower rake and the more play you get. See my OP for the complete list of even better tournament structures with lower rake.

Anybody else thinking of playing the $80 8-000 chip tournament tonight at Georgian Downs with only 6% rake?

Did you end up playing this? TR?

Any idea what the field is like on average?

Thanks

BlondeFish

A couple of friends couldn't make it and the weather looked bad so I didn't make the drive that night. The last time I played at Georgian Downs, there were actually several tournaments that ran; the field is like Brantford casual players. Hopefully, this Thursday's Deep Stack tournament with only 4% rake will be as well supported as the sold-out Mohawk tournaments with 10% rake.

pokerJAH;353615 wroteI will start to include these under both the "weekly" and "upcoming" categories to make it easier for players to find.

Thanks for updating the Ontario tournament schedule. I will be playing at least six juicy tournaments this month.

It might just be easier for me to give you access to the site, and you can keep it updated for me :)

compuease;353559 wroteThey get 2 tables as that is all the seats they have. Say hi to BigBob for me, I think he plays most Sundays... I haven't played there yet...

Just back from the Mohawk Bingo Game. What a clusterfuck of bad play. KK《KQ, JJ 《 89, JJ《2 callers with AQ. I don't understand how people are unable to fold an overpair when they get check raised by the tightest players at the table. I also don't understand why the tightest players are jamming with the nuts against buffers. I need to work on my game.

Big Bob was still in it somehow, playing tighter than a nun at a Friday the 13th rally. I hope he gets lucky and avoids getting unlucky which is more crucial.

lol, he is the heart and soul of the Rocks... His reads are impeccable..

It may have had something to do with your jumping up and down though...;)

Not sure about this. It was a paired, flushed board and he had middle 2pr. I was hoping he had a boat or at least a flush or trips but no such luck.

Anyone going to be in Brantford tonight?

I'll be in the area so grabbed a seat in the $150 Bounty.

BlondeFish

Do you know how many entries there are so far? I wasn't planning to play at Brantford until this Thursday's Deep Stack with < 10% rake & prize pool up to $24,000.

They capped tonight, as they do every Tuesday. Usually seel the last tickets around 4pm.

There are only 9 seats sold for thurs right now, but Im certain it will sellout.

Last time I was there, the gift store person said they can never promise a sell out, but was told that she hasn't been there when one hasn't sold out yet.

How did you do?

Have you played there since May 13? Everytime I've played, there has not been more than three tables! :redface: Even the so-called "Super Satellites" to the Deep Stack events with $50,000-$100,000 prize pools have been more like "Super Secret" with only 20 players or less, generating only 2 or 3 seats. :'(

pokerJAH;353515 wroteall live players....run to the hills....Blondefish is back!

I'm willing to bet you a drink that it won't sell out. No dressing-up-in-drag bets for me! :wink2:

I have included the upcoming high buy-in tournaments in Ontario in a new thread.
