Hello from Victoria BC!

Hey everyone,

Wow...How on earth have I not come across this forum yet? Its funny because for the past couple days I have been talking non stop to some of my friends about how online poker just seems to be a bit under par in Canada. I've been browsing for a few minutes now and this seems like the primary hangout for most Canadian players eh? Very cool! I believe the owner is Graham? congrats so far on a successful community man.icon14.gif

Like most of you on here I play a bit of poker online but lately the opportunity to build a career in different areas in poker has reached an all time high whether its affiliate marketing for sites or becoming a poker entrepreneur from scratch.

I still think Canada seems to be a bit underground when it comes to exposure and i hope this changes within the next few years.

You guys will hear from me a lot more for sure but for now,

Hello from Victoria BC!

    Hey!

    As an aside, you do realize that Canada has a bunch of pros both B&M and online making names for themselves right?

    2 of the top 3 players at the EPT Monte Carlo this year were Canadian (including the winner who posts on here), as was the runner up to the Main Event of the WSOP last year.

    I think in terms of high-profile poker players we are doing really good in comparison to pretty much any other nation except the US.

    Category:Canadian poker players - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (it's missing Maxine and Glen from this years EPT event)

    In fact, the Waterloo area of Ontario is considered a poker hotbed by many in the international poker world as people like Timex, Choron and other very successful players come from there.

    Not meaning to pile on so early into your posting career.. but you should be proud to be a Canadian poker player and know that we compete on the international stage. GO CANADA!
  • Hey Brandon, welcome to the site! How did you manage to find us (out of curiosity)? Yes, myself and gregory o (who also posted in this thread are the owners), so go easy on us ;) Thanks for introducing yourself and look forward to many discussions on the forum. Great intro!

    All the best,

    Graham
  • Toronto is hopping too, there are so many places to play.
  • I play at stars. I was multi-tabling $16 sng's for a bit and then it finally hit me that i would be playing poker day in and day out and not care about anything else- I think its called..."gambling addiction.." lol we all have it in us. Naw ive just slowed down a bit to kinda concentrate on some sort of a career i guess? wow that sounds so dumb lol but true.

    Milo- Id be an Oak Tree.

    Waterloo? Not a clue where that is bro lol

    Zunni74- You know i agree with everything you said and its true, we do produce a good amount of players i just think they dont get enough recognition compared to the like you said the top nation US. Im completely proud of being Canadian and i just hope we are recognized even more in the coming years!
  • Welcome to CPF!
  • Welcome to the forum, Brandon.
  • I cant figure out if either im just an idiot or if im blind...Can we PM each other? I've been in other forums with the same Vbulletin Board and theres usually an icon for Pm'ing?
  • I believe it's 25 min posts

    The forum has had some issues with new members spamming everone via PM.

    Once you clear 25 then you can fire away.
  • Gotcha, Thanks for the clarifying that for me!
