Western Fair is having Texas Hold 'Em

I just saw in today's London Free Press that the Western Fair is having some table games from Mar 3rd - 16th.

It opens daily at 12noon and probably closes between 2am - 4am.

I would imagine that this will be the same setup that they have in Sept during the fair.

In the past they have only played limit with 5/10 and 10/20 tables.

    Anyone have any experience with this fair? Is this an annual thing?
    What's the field like?
    Is it comparable to the CNE? i.e. Bad dealers, Bad players and everything?

    I have played at Western Fair each of the last 2 years in Sept. I have played both 5/10 and 10/20. The 5/10 was absolutely easy pickings as the overall play is much weaker than the BCC for example.

    The dealers are a mixed bag.

    In addition to the 5/10 tables, there was a 10/20 table on Tuesday. There were a lot of maxed pots in the 10/20 table. Western Fair Casino is comparable to the CNE Casino, which means it is +EV for good players like ReefAquarium.

    Agricultural fairs like the CNE and Western Fair have a exception in the anti-gambling provisions of the Criminal Code, so they can apply to the AGCO to hold charity casino events. I believe this is the first time that Western Fair had a casino during the March break. They may try to have more casino days - like the CNE's 3 months/year - IF there is enough demand.

    I plan to carpool next with a friend on Saturday night, possibly from ~4 PM and staying up to the 4 AM closing time.

    I wonder how that got around that???

    The $10 maximum bet is probably a reporting mistake.
    Is it true that there is a $100 maximum bet restriction for charity casinos?

    Is that so you can sneak back into bed before the wife wakes up :) I don't know how you can handle these late nights. If I play past 1am on a Friday night, I am dead the entire weekend.
