Today's Brantford Deepstacker

Flopped_Nuts;357930 wroteCan you at least try the new Yogurty's that opend up across from the casino and give it a review? I've heard great things.

In honour of Flopped_Nuts - who may have been driven away like betrthanphil, 13CARDS, etc. from contributing any more poker-related posts - in case other forumers are playing tonight's bounty or Sunday tournament, any interest in checking out Yogurty's as part of the "Forumers' Tour of Casino Eateries" if we finish < 10 PM closing time? In all the years that I've played at Brantford, I have never crossed the north street to know what's on the other side. :-[

"Why did the poker player cross the street?"

What is the starting stack for the deepstack tournaments in Brantford? It doesn't say in the rules and regulations on the OLG poker tourney calendar site. Also what is the freeze out starting stacks?

Nevermind I found it. 15,000

BlondeFish

The "Deep Stack" tourneys start with 15,000. This bounty and other tourneys >= $100 start with 10,000.

I'm thinking of playing the $230 Deepstack on Sep. 8.

Any others considering playing?

Hmm, $230? I'd consider it. What time does it start at? I live in Scarborough and have class on Monday mornings, so I'd hope it starts early enough that it will finish before 10 or so as I have to drive all the way back home.

Card Dead

Starts at 11am and I think it usually runs a good 8-10 hrs, but if you play your cards right you can be home in time for a late lunch.

:D

Anybody else playing in today's Deep Stack with up to $40,000 prize pool?

Coles Notes: worthy dessert for the next Forumers' Night Out At Brantford. After we all cash in the next Deep Stack, we can celebrate in the newly renovated Brantford restaurant then go for dessert at Yogurty's.

Google Maps had shown Yogurty's as north of the casino so I crossed the road north but could not find it. There was a young stranger walking on the street and I noticed he had a hoody, sunglasses with earbuds so I said to myself, "Aha, a poker player!" He pointed me directly to where Yogurty's is so I went back south.

Surprisingly, Yogurty's was empty. The only girl working there gave me a free sample and answered my many questions. There were eight main flavours in this location, which opened in July 2012. I'm a chocoholic so I started off with the most chocolatey flavour, then added Peanut Butter & Jelly, then Strawberry. My toppings included Mango, Chocolate Sprinkles, Double Chocolate Cookie Dough, and every chocolatey item. The price is based per ounce and she told me that you could keep weighing your cup - so that you won't spend away your tournament buy-in. I heard there's supposed to be chocolate sauce in a hot pot but she didn't tell me about it.

My chocoholic yogurt came out to almost $7 then she took a dollar off, then gave a me a Sears $10 off coupon. It tasted good and I will take my kid to try it, but it's not cheap to eat it regularly. The Chapman's Frozen Yogurt (Dutch Chocolate flavour) that we had bought from the grocery store for only $4 for 2L tastes just as good to me. I remember taking my kid to Dairy Queen for Miracle Treat Day, and I think that once the trendiness is gone, a Yogurty's franchise will struggle against all the DQ and Baskin-Robbins locations.

Aren't these types of yogurt shops ubiquitous now? Even Edmonton had a few 3 years back.

Where did you find this information? I feel like starting stacks and length of levels were easier to find last year. I'm not sure what they did to the website but I don't like it.

I'm looking at both the $230 Deep Stack and the $1k in September. Do you know how long the levels are for each? I assume both start with 15k and looks like the $230 uses structure A and the $1k uses structure B but can't find info on length of levels.

BlondeFish

I have the more detailed "Official Rules and Regulations." Contact the OLG that they are missing information in this year's documents. It is 30 minutes for the $230 Deep Stack and 40 minutes for the $1,090. It may be among the upcoming $500+ events that I will play.

I'd love to play this Sunday's Deep Stack with prize pool up to $16,000, but I've started playing online on Sundays. Good luck to Card Dead, hiphopopotamus, AlwaysLearning416 or anybody else going.

Probably smart. Especially with the WCOOP kicking off, giving you big buy-in tourneys with huge prize pools right from the comfort of your own home.

I'm still considering playing this $230 tourney if I can get the car as I should be done Harrington on Hold Em by then (thank goodness for 1 hour each way TTC commutes :p).

I'd love to play a live one, but I'm still debating on whether to play that one or the $109 WCOOP kickoff. Cheaper buy-in, from my couch, and a chance at winning a fair deal of cash if somehow I can play a disciplined and on point game for long enough.

Card Dead

I'm happy to give you a lift if you're not too far off my route.

PM if interested.

Thanks Card Dead, but I decided to go with the WCOOP opener for now. If I bust early, I may see you in Brantford this afternoon though!

Card Dead

Cool.

Tourney sold out BTW.
