Was thinking about giving $2-$5 PLO a try.
Shhhh. Now they know....niks1;c-421882 wroteMy account shows I’m at core level with no points. I have free parking for April. I think it’s random. I’ve always had it free.
Ok, so parking crisis averted. The casino is offering everyone free parking in April and the poker floor staff told me they will still comp parking manually for 4 hrs of play like in the old days.
Other items of note:
- they now serve food in the poker room but you still can’t eat at the table. They have separate tables for that.
- action was awesome

Agree with Glenn, there was good action. Sadly, I didn't really profit from it, but broke even.
My table had a couple of very new players who would bet/call down large bets with a pair that was lower than the board - when there were possible straights and flushes out - and would keep reloading after they lost. I think the table cried when they left.

Yeah, me neither. I got burned with set over set early and it took me all night to get back close to even.
I have read that there are washrooms and a cash cage now inside the poker room, is that true? Was there a full/partial renovation since reopening?niks1;c-421897 wroteAND you got to see me and DJ!

I'm going this coming Sunday and I'm looking for some general advice from you fine poker forum regs. I'm not talking specific strategy (but feel free). I really want to know how your experience went in general when you went. How was parking, wait times, staff/dealers and just your overall experience at the tables.
They’ve had washrooms in the poker room ever since they moved everything over from Fallsview.
They were selling chips at the brush before covid, but not now, so buy your chips upstairs at the main cage before coming down to the room. They may resume selling at the brush when/if they get back to 100% normal.
If you arrive by 11:30am on a Sunday you should get immediate seating. If you come later in the afternoon, it could be a while even if you call ahead.
2-5 action had a lot of good regs on Sunday, a couple of whales, and a few decent regs. I didn’t play 1-3 but Niks said the action was good.

The room is running pretty well. A few hiccups but nothing major. Dealers and staff are way better than Brantford.
Thank you very much! I really didn't remember washrooms being there.Card Dead;c-421920 wroteThe room is running pretty well. A few hiccups but nothing major. Dealers and staff are way better than Brantford.
I'll be playing 2-5 and give a trip report when I return. :)

Did you go? I’m there most Sundays so just wondering if we crossed paths.
3 months later
Most likely playing at Niagara tomorrow (as long as I don't get too too smashed tonight). Should be there for noon and will put my name on the PLO list.
We were there last night. My bottom sets held up all 3 times!
Have fun Trigs - run good!

What's the protip for trying to play on a Saturday evening? Bravo currently shows 5 tables and 80 waiting. Even calling in now and showing up in 90 minutes doesn't seem very viable.

Go much earlier...?
They open new tables at 8pm. We called at 7pm and were seated before 8:30. When we arrived we were 74/75 on the list.

Also depends on who the sup is calling names. It’s Carl tonight and he doesn’t give a lot of time for final call before he calls more names. Makes it move much faster.
