Mountains of Canmore or Oceans of White Rock?

GTA Poker

Where would you rather live?

I have an opportunity to purchase similarly performing practices in either area. I spent the weekend in White Rock/South Surrey and am leaning towards BC. I have previously lived in WA State and am familiar with the climate, etc. so that is not an issue. I think the proximity to so many cool areas (Vancouver, Seattle, direct flights to Hawaii) combined with the beauty of the local area is probably going to make it a winner. Canmore would be a not so bad second choice if needed.

Poker is likely much better in Calgary:( than the lower mainland BC.

Both areas are great, I think it comes down to lifestyle more than anything.

I'd probly go with White Rock just for convenience of city life.

Canmore is a little too far away from Calgary.

Hey GTA, I've lived in Vancouver for just over 8 years now, and I can't recall a day where I regretted it. You mentioned you're familiar with the climate so that's no issue.

In addition to the things you mentioned, you've got Portland just a few hours further down the road, in addition to great skiing, hiking, beaches, etc, in Washington, BC, and Oregon. Tons of great restaurants and craft breweries. There's literally three craft brews within a km of my house, and new ones opening all the time. That interests me, but I can't assume it interests everyone.

Bellingham Washington, about forty minutes from White Rock not accounting for the border waits has the lowest airport taxes in the USA last I checked and offers direct flights to Vegas, LA, San Fran, Phoenix, Hawaii for really good prices. I haven't paid more than a couple hundred bucks all in for a round trip flight to Vegas in years.

The poker won't be as good you're likely right, but the River Rock Casino has had a larger numbers of 2-5 and even 2-5-10 games running recently. The Edgewater runs PLO daily, and on the weekends often has a 5-10 hold em PLO mix. Fraser Downs casino even has a 5-10 limit mix running on Thursdays. Apparently a bunch of old fellas playing a mix of O8/Stud8/Razz. My guess is you'll find a decently soft seat.

Good luck with it. Shoot me a pm if there's anything I can do for you in terms of info about the area or whatever else. I can recommend you a good realtor if you need also.

Thanks for all the info. We will have to go play some poker if I make it out there.

What about the hard rock near coquitlam... Any poker there?

I'll pm you if things are heading towards a move... It will depend on the price negotiations etc.

When I spend 7 figures on a business I like to gather as much information as possible, even if it is just info about local poker games as poker is an enjoyable hobby of mine... You should try playing someday. Certainly you don't think that this is a primary source for my decision.

I also used detailed demographic studies, professional consultants and real world experiences to formulate a decision... But a good plo game doesn't hurt in the decision process.

Thanks again for another zero content post...3 ITT alone. If only I could say this is some sort of record for you... Sadly not as it seems that every post you make in every thread you enter provides zero info. I guess baby needs his bottle.

I'll let you know if I need a mover who specialises in couches.

I see that your previous posts have been deleted... Was this by you or the mods? As always I have to enquire as to why you troll threads on this forum when you do not play poker or contribute any knowledge to any topics on here.

Wait, we have to post valuable content and play as much as we used to?!?

banned again already?

Seriously, what the hell did I miss? Fed posts a ton of (low) content that usually makes me laugh. Why is he such a bee in all your bonnets?

Kristy

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I love chirping as much as the next girl, but this whole sword-of-Damocles thing is unfair to Fed.

[Note: not necessarily talking to GTA--at least he actively engages and is fun to read. More the chorus of yes-men, and the over-the-top tight rope Fed's expected to walk. His posts are rarely more off-point than mine and I'm not experiencing any backlash.]

I agree, we're on the same page.
