New Years day a good day to go play cards??

Just wondering what the clientele of a Niagara Casino is likely to look like tomorrow.

Anyone else considering heading down??

  • There's a chance I'll be at fallsview - depends how hammered I get tonight.
  • I can tell you that New Years eve poker at Niagara is great. Went there 2 years in a row, lot's of action... Hold on for the ride...
  • well I'll be there tomorrow morning sometime...

    I'll be wearing my black/white/silver and grey Montreal Canadians hat..
  • I was at the old niagara playing 1/2nl 200max buy-in. Got there around 1:30pm but had to leave at 7:30pm. Table was tight but started to loosen up around 6:30. To bad I had to leave was starting to get crazy.
  • If anybody notices when the Canadian Poker Player magazine is in a Niagara casino (wasn't tonight), please PM me. I will go to Fallsview, possibly by carpool.

  • They had them at the old niagara. I forgot to mention that some guy at my table was running so bad that he sold his 60gig ipod vid. and oakley oil rig sunglasses for $125 so he could buy back in. I felt kind of bad for the guy. He was also trying to sell his blackberry also lol.

    CPT Magazine was at fallsview yesterday, I grabbed a copy, a lot of good articles in it as I was scanning through it tonight (I'll read it on the bus ride to work tomorrow)...I booked a quick 2 hour session before my night at Dragonfly...

    Cards = Brag (paid for dinner/club ticket/drinks)
    Dragonfly = Beat (g/f got hit with a flying drink (in the shoulder), confronted guy I was +ev against him so I was not worried, bartender (a friend of mine had him escorted out by security not before 2 unknown girls assaulted said guy...lol)


    Noteable moments from yesterday from my session

    Sat at 2/5 for 10 minutes before being moved to 5/5

    1. 2/5 player busts and only has 95 to reload or has to goto bank, 1 player objects to him buying in at 95 instead of 100. I ship him 5 bucks (poker karma)

    2. 5/5 game played like 1cent 2cent online, passive with one player instanta c-betting every flop...

    3. board of 6 7 8 10 3

    Action is as follows...3 callers to flop, turn bet 100x3 callers, river bet 150x3 callers player 1 has Q9, player 2 has 99, player 3 who deliberated for 3 minutes and finally calls shows 55
    I had to get up off the table because I couldnt hold in my laughter.

    4. Board J J 3 A 5 (I have AJ utg with 5 people in)

    I announce on the flop outloud that I check my trips, MP cannon bets 15, followed by 3 callers I checkraise to 45, turn is A, I lead in 50 and still get same callers, river is 5, I bet 100 and get called by 88 and A9

    5. Board 6 6 J 6 8 (I have AJ BB)

    I lead in 25 into 4 players, get 1 caller, turn is check/check, river I bet 5 bucks, get re-raised to 50, sit for a second and think of possibly folding due to villians wide range but action didnt make sense, so I call..villian flips over A8 (I got a good river card there)

    2 hour sessions are fun....
  • Was Dragonfly business as usual that night? I heard that it lost its liquor license and had to refund the tickets for the New Year's Eve party.

    The Canadian Poker Player magazine is a great read, including articles by Waterloo superstars Steve Paul Ambrose and pokerJAH's favourite school drop-out, timex. :) I have a couple of extra copies so if anybody can't make it to a Niagara casino, I'll bring them to the rake-free home game in Georgetown on Sunday and any remaining to Casino Brantford on Thursday.

    Yeah they announced they would be closing for a month starting Jan/2/2009....I think this is the second time they have had this infraction too.
