Woodbine SNGs start on September 9!

JimmyHo

was at Woodbine today, very quite. Only one 1*2 running when I got there and not enough players to get any satellites going.

That promotion is nowhere as good as Woodbine's First Anniversary five-day promo where ten $1,000 cash prizes were awarded. I played a tournament at Brantford on Sunday and Rama on Monday, and they both had a lot more tables running than Woodbine. With WPT Fallsview announced, many poker playas in the GTA will be headed for Fallsview from now until February 24, so after going regularly to Woodbine, I don't know when I'll bother going to Woodbine again. Hopefully by the time WPT FPC is over, Woodbine will have improved the SNG times and payouts, so I may go back to being a Woodbine reg then.

Better for the rest of us :) Still plenty of fish at Woodbine. Only the more skilled players have any interest in Fallsview, so the skill level will likely drop at WB over the coming months.

Are you going to play a rake-free satellite or buy in directly to WPT Fallsview so I can introduce you to the Royal Flush Girls?

No, the RFG don't do PCA. Is pkrfce9 or anybody else going with you?

pkrfce9

I tried to go to Woodbine on Monday night, but all the streets around it were blocked off the police. There was no way I could drive into Woodbine and there was a lot of emergency vehicles.

Anybody know what happened? Did a losing poker player go postal and held the Pokertek machines hostage?

No, but apparently the SnG time has now been extended to 2pm from noon. That should be a thumbs up for Mr. Blondefish :) When I was there on Thursday, a $230 ran around noon.

BlondeFish

Baby steps are better than nothing. After being a Woodbine reg, I'll play for the FIRST time this year after WPT CSC. Does anybody know if the SNGs have been running on Saturday or Sunday mornings?

Woodbine has improved from a four-hour SNG window to up to 14 hours/weekday. Here are the new hours instead of just 8 a.m. - noon:

Monday - Thursday: 12:01 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Friday - Sunday: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

I'll probably resume playing at Woodbine this weekend. Anybody interested in trying to play a SNG after midnight, e.g., April 14, Easter Monday or Victoria Day, May 19 >= 12:01 AM?

Thanks for the update, I may do a day trip to woodbine on my holidays first week of May, also planning Casino Windsor and or Fallsview but not 100% sure yet.

BlondeFish

What about the Mega Overlay Satellite on May 1-4 at Playground Poker Club? Is there anything going on at Caesars Windsor in the first week?

Nothing going on at Windsor that I know of, Too many people want the dates that the Canada cup is off at work.

BlondeFish

Driving to Woodbine in hopes of playing a SNG continues to be a waste of time due to the deadline. :rage: In case pokerJAH or any other Woodbine player notices an SNG ever running after midnight, please post. I should have withdrawn all my balance from there, but I'll do so next time I'm headed to a Casino Rama MTT.

Monday - Thursday: 12:01 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Friday - Sunday: 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
