    I wished Ontario casinos would have more of these deep stack tournaments. It is a poker version of a marathon, playing for up to 13 hours for two straight days.

    There is a CPT $2,100 Skill Level 6 tournament at Great Blue Heron Casino on December 11-12, so it is a better choice with no 30% tax withholding and a much shorter drive.

    Isn't that a 5000 in starting chip tournament? Glad to see GBH is adding some freezeout tournaments next year in the $500 range (Feb. 13/Jun 11/Aug 13). Not a big fan of rebuys/add on tournaments. Thought you would be all over this tournament Buddy. Not try the Foxwood WPT event's this week?

    It is 10,000 starting chips. Don't be glad yet about the GBH 2008 freezeout tournaments because as I posted in the GBH thread about the planned blind structures for next year, none of the tournaments are worth playing and I would rather play elsewhere.

    It is -EV for most Canadians to spend a lot of money travelling to play in the US, then have to pay the extra 30% rake whenever you are lucky enough to make it to the money. If Casino Brantford will be the only Ontario casino to have decent tournaments in 2008, then I may be forced to play for the first time at Seneca or the high-end clubs that are probably under investigation by the OPP. :rolleyes:

    -30% makes tournament poker worse than pit games like roulette for pretty much everyone except the top... oh 2% or so?? How would you calculate this?
