New MTSNG's at Brantford
From my blogaroony.... if I have any details wrong, or if anyone has more info, please let me know.
I asked about the Brantford Spring Classic. I won 14K in that event at this time last year, but was told it's "on hold" for this year. I was told, however, about a new multi-table sit and go series they're going to start running in April. I think it's every Thursday (don't quote me), with 5 or 6 tables max, and a $100 or so buy-in. The last one of every month will have a higher buy-in of about $300 or so.

Thanks for the congrats, though the 14K score was incidental lol
Hopefully not an all in fest by the 3rd level.
I really really really hope you're wrong but that is a scary thought. They still aren't licensed for NLHE cash games, though, and their room is generally busy so I don't imagine they're in any particular rush to get it. But that's total speculation on my part.
How long would it take to make a link off thier home page to an up to date list?
There's a real business opportunity here for someone to step in and get things organized for these casinos. I will only charge you 5% of yearly revenues for the tip
i could not agree more.
If Casino Brantford's objective is to make the same $100+/hour/table as the other table games, then the $100 MTT will have to be high-rake turbos with very little poker play.
Anyone know about the rumour that the CPT got bought out and maybe there's still hope for proper advertising in the Canadian Casino tournament industry?
What questions do you want answered? I'll find out what I can, post in another thread (maybe get it stickied) and ask unanswered and new questions as I visit weekly...
I think you'll be lucky if they are not less than 15 minutes
K, I've made a note, I'll be there tonight or tomorrow. I'll try to corner one of the supe's that I know and see what additional info I can drag out of them
I asked if the structure/schedule has been finalized. They said it has not, and if it has they haven't been told what it is.
They are insane.
2000tc to start, 15 minute levels, doubling at the end of each. With the exception of that generous time where they move from 400-800 to 600 - 1200.
I'll never play in another one to be honest.
Agree with this completely... just because it is a fast structure doesnt mean it cant be highly profitable. sure it will be higher variance but if you understand push/fold poker you will probably have a higher hourly rate in a faster structured tourney
I think it will depend on many things including field size and starting stacks.
I'm just using the example of River Rock Casino in richmond. 110 players, starting stacks of 2000tc(which is actually a new increase, they were 1500tc) vs. rapidly escalating blinds. Basically when you get to the final table the blinds are 1500-3000 or even 2000-4000. With only 220 000 chips in play that means there are 55 big blinds in play total at 4000 or 73 big blinds at 3000.
The upside is that for the low buy in $30, the pay outs heavily favour the winner, getting 40%. The 10th place person I think gets 45 bucks or something. !st place is good for over a grand.
Maybe I don't understand push fold poker either, but you need to get enormously lucky...repeatedly to do well in them.
So while I have highly recommended Casino Brantford's Skill Level 6 tournaments and MTT satellites as the best among Ontario casinos, I am afraid that I will never step foot at Brantford again if the upcoming multi-table SNGs are as crappy as the SNGs found in other casinos and bad clubs.
How big is the sample size though?
I definitely agree with BBC/obv on this one. While it is crapshoot poker, doesn't mean you can't be profitable. No doubt it will be a high variance due to the the style of play of a turbo tournament, but if played correctly there is money to be made. At least you won't need to play for 6-7 hours to bubble
A lot of my edge comes from post flop play - and if you take that away from me, I don't have as big an edge against the donkeys.
Remeber that AK is not as big a mathamatical favorite over 7,8s as you might think. You're never really in that bad a spot in holdem pre-flop except when dominated or pair over pair. If the donkey has 2 live cards - they're looking good to KO you.
100% true when there are games running every few minutes, not so true if these are scheduled and you are waiting between games.
In a better structured tourney it will still come down to push/fold poker but it will take longer to get to that point.
They have a UPC scheduled for November and satelites will start in June.
Though, this is Brantford and who really knows until you see some kind of advertisement in the casino about it.
