I posted the info @ OLG Casino Brantford 2009 Tournaments, or see the OLG poker site. There are three more tournaments this month, including a $800 freezeout on March 30. If there is enough interest, there could be a rake-free home game satellite.
Yes, the $100/$200 tournaments on Thursdays will continue, along with a couple of ladies-only and other tournaments on every other Monday.
By the way, 15 people have called about registering for the $800 tournament, but if less than the minimum officially register before 10 AM, then the tournament will be cancelled. Next time, Brantford needs to have satellites pre-approved for its $400+ tournaments, just like Point Edward was able to sell out 240 $660 seats early.
A couple of ladies played, including one of Canada's best (and prettiest) female players. To prove that live and online poker are all rigged, here are my critical hands.
1) In the very first hand, I raise five times the blind with AJ, but there are four players to the flop: Ah-Jh-K. Big blind bets 400, I raise to 1,200, then he goes all-in. What would you do?
I fold.
2) In the final table, a player goes all-in with 10-10. I re-raise all-in with KK. A player folded a 10, so I am favoured by 89%. The flop is safe, so I become an even bigger favourite. Then he gets runner-runner straight!
3) A player raises and I wake up with AA. On a jack-high rainbow flop, we end up all-in. He shows JJ. :rolleyes: IGHN.
I declared to the table that Brantford is rigged and I will never play there again
:
until this Thursday's $200 tournament. :biggrin:
Most of the Thursday tournaments sold out, so the only way to make sure you get a seat is to pre-purchase up to one month before when you are not that far from Brantford. You can try phoning the night before to see if there are any seats left, then phoning when you wake up to see if there is a good chance there will be a seat left by the time you drive there.
1) In the very first hand, I raise five times the blind with AJ, but there are four players to the flop: Ah-Jh-K. Big blind bets 400, I raise to 1,200, then he goes all-in. What would you do?
I fold.
Not raise for information in the first place. Call re-evaluate turn.
After action prob a fold with no reads depending on how deep you are. I'de guess you have ~30% equity against an uknowns range.

The Monday events will probably have empty seats, such as the three ladies-only and the $400 tournament on April 20.
