Point Edward / Sarnia Casino Gets NL
Sorry this is late , but i thought someone else would have posted this buy now.
POINT EDWARD CHARITY CASINO - Now has 1-2 NL 100 max buy in
The only catch is there is 100 max bet , but that does not come into play too much as most bets even big ones in 1 2 NL are under 100 except on the river or when you have the nuts. I played 5 sessions a week for the last two weeks and the games are good. There are usually 1 or 2 good players and everyone else is just a limit player. Since the casino has had limit only for the last 8 years the games are full of people who have neverplayed NL cash just NL tournys and limit cash.
My record for the last 10 sessions is full of small losses for 1 or 2 buy ins and huge wins. These people dont lay hands down !!!! Ever !!! I had ak call a 100 re raise on a 8 high flop, i had top set , no just just ak.
So when you get cards you get paid , i am up 2980 in 10 sessions and my biggest cash out was for 1100 but i had 200 in the game.
I never continuation bet ever because everyones a calling station, I would say i am a med strength player and i am killing the game. I am comfortable playing 2 5 nl in detriot , but now that 1 2 is so juicy i am gonna stay in town.
Action will be crazy in september when they have the next bluewater classic.

Live = WOW
Cap game = WOW
I seem a 900 pot , 9 BI's , it was raised reraised and rereraised all in with 3 players for around 300 each , aa vs 99 vs 66 , 9 hit a set , but all betting was preflop. There are prolly 100 regular limit players all trying to learn nolimit , they cant even get a list of more than 5 players who want to play limit , they have not had a limit table in 2 weeks.
I just stay away from the young internet players , who actually know what they are doing an im fine.
I dont know how many 300 pots i seen with a 7 and a 6 chopping a pot cause there kickers dont play.
the games are juicy , i live here , but it would prolly be worth getting a 50.00 hotel here to play on the weekends.
I'm heading down this weekend to have a look. My buddy went said was quite juicy juicy with all the regs, who were pretty terrible at FL, let alone NL.
Any word on if they will ever start bigger table? 2-5 perhaps? 200 max should be fun
Anyway, it's great that NL is finally available in a charity casino. Hopefully, NL will soon be available at the other Limit casinos, including Brantford, CNE Casino and Western Fair Casino.
Unlikely for CNE/Western Fair as their max bet is $25 (for CNE is at least) and afaik its not likely to change.
RAKE is 10% up to 5 dollars , not to great but the bad players make it a good game.
The poker manager at point edward put in to get 100 max bet nl like 2 years ago and they just got it approved, if they do request to have a 200 max buy in game with 100 max bet it would prolly take just as long , the olg approves things at a snails pace.
i played last night , it was a great game, they had 4 tables going on a wednesday which is unheard of for this casino , normally they would have one linit game if any , the game was real good , until around 3 am when just me and a couple internet whiz kids were left , it was like the three tables merged into one table with all the chips , avg stack was 600.00 , time to go no more donkeys by 3.
I grew up in Sarnia as well, and played a lot there when I lived in the area. The 5-10 game was ridiculous, but on nights you ran good it was very very profitable.
Guess I'll check it out when I'm back in the fall.
