  • Again, I would suggest www.604poker.com as it generally is updated with information pertinent to BC poker. Unlike Ontario you'll usually see TV advertisments as well, which I'm sure you'll remember.
  • And again, I ask if anyone has heard anything about the BCPC..lol..Nothing on that forum either with the exception of one person.."daryl said..." but Daryl is gone..so..

    I don't watch TV..so, no, I won't see those..lol

    Cool site though, will check it out a bit more in depth later.
  • If I remember, the satellites on Stars didn't start until I think after Thanksgiving last year.

    Sorry, until you came along I was pretty much the only BC person posting here for 2 years. With me now posting an average of once every 5 months, it pretty much leaves you.

    All I meant was you'll have way more luck on that site finding information about poker in this province then you ever will on this one.

    If you were willing to move to Waterloo however....

    Yeah..Stars ran like 2 or at most 3 BCPC ME satellites last year.
  • I'm going to take a week off and play in this tourney this year. There's always quite a few from Edmonton that make the trek, and nothing but good things to say about the tourney.

    Was debating between this and the Fallsview WPT.....but my decision is now an easy one.

    Hopefully Pokerstars picks it up again and runs more Sat's than last year, as they didn't have many.
  • I know there weren't a ton of satellites, but I remember playing in a couple of them every night for at least two weeks (what a friggin waste that was; stupid asshole rivering his flush) before I left for the tourney. Maybe it just felt like two weeks though. Umm... did anyone e-mail Stars and ask since none of us actually have a real clue what we're talking about?

    haha...what a concept~!!! Though, I can't find anywhere the tournament has even been announced? Fuck it..I am phoning the River Rock right now.


    ok, confirmed dates from the River Rock poker room are November 15-22nd. There will be satellites in house starting in August, and P*s will also be having some..they just didn't know dates for that or how many.
  • Does anybody know if River Rock will register this as a Canadian Poker Tour event? I'm looking for an excuse to play poker in another province for the first time ever.

  • I got an excuse close to home for ya.....
  • I don't think you need an excuse, BCPC is probably the best ran poker tourney in Canada (from what I've heard from other's experiences) and definitely worth the trip out to the West Coast. Heck, if you can, make it a trip and stay around before/after.

    +1. It was my first live large tourney experience, but everything was well organized and ran quickly. I think the only complaint I heard was during the $1000+$100 2 day NLHE event, where they were letting people who weren't able to get in because the tourney was full in once someone busted before the 2nd level of blinds. Just some bitching about other tables having an extra stack of chips, thus an advantage. Funny... all those bitchers busted before the first break.

    Oh, and BC is definitely worth the trip. This gives me an awesome excuse to go see the family. Also makes me sound like a bigshot to the in-laws. I have no idea why they're impressed I flew out to play in a poker tourney, but fuck it, I'll take the admiration. :)

    That would be a forum first for sure, seeing so many of the Ontario players in BC.

    Blondefish, you'll love Vancouver. It's just a beautiful beautiful city, and the tournament is top notch.
  • Was just looking at the calender. My current plan is to work Nov. 8-12 and then fly out that night. Not sure if I'll go to Van or to Vic for a couple of days then take the ferry over to Van on the 14. Spend a week playing poker (assuming I can win a satellite for the ME) and then another week with the family in Vic. Man I love this time of year :)
  • I guessing it's gonna take place btwn Nov17-29.

    Stars had sats to the BCPC around Oct to early Nov last year.

    It'll be pretty cool to take this one down. :)

    Ofcourse, that'll be tough since I only play blackjack :D
  • If anyone gets details on this, I will get it up on the Poker Atlas pronto.

    I'll make a call myself, but its bumped on the list for now.

    Buyins, dates, any past info to help players decide why they should play it.
  • Here's how it broke down last year (NOTE: I'm using the dates for this year from what I know them to be)

    Day 1 (Nov 15): $500+$50 NLHE tourney. 550 players max. 1 day tourney. Top... 54 got paid I think, not certain. 20 minute blinds.

    Day 2(Nov 16): $500+$50 Mixed NL/Limit HE tourney. 550 players max. 1 day tourney. Top 54 got paid (again, assuming I was right on the previous one). 20 minute blinds

    Day 3-4(Nov 17-18): $1000+$100 NLHE Tourney. 750 players max. Two day tourney. Top 72 get paid. Tourney breaks once the money is reached or at level 12 I believe. 30 minute blinds.

    Day 5-8(Nov 19-22): $2500+$200 NLHE Tourney. 750 players max. Four day tourney. Top 90 get paid (not positive on that one, but I seem to remember more players getting paid than the $1100 tourney for some reason, even though it's the same amount of players). 60 minute blinds. 10K starting stack.

    Hope that helps and hope that it's somewhat accurate.
  • I'll work with it, maybe do a prepost saying details for 2009 to come. Much appreciated!
  • Damn, no PLO last year?

    Hopefully this year.
  • Ok, have a "pre-post" in the cue for the Poker Atlas, with Cerberus's details summarized AND a link to both pokerforum.ca and this disscusion thread.

    Hope we get some more talking with us.

    Nice work :)
  • I'd be real surprised if this tourney wasn't part of the upcoming North American Poker Tour that Stars has confirmed will happen in the Supernova Elite thread on twoplustwo.

  • Your name says it all? lol
    didn't see that post :D
  • See, now we were saying we should hound the poker room to get this one sanctioned for CPT points...win win for some planning to travel to play it

    I am gonna find the right e-mail addy, lol

    This years BCPC is too early for my player that wins the seat but next year I will be sending possibly 4 people unless they pick the WSOP Academy trip as their prize, and I'll be joining them without a doubt. That will be a fantastic experience.

    If this is correct, what do they do on the off days for players that are busted from the tournament? Like do they run some sort of tournament on the 18th and the 20th, 21st, 22nd?

    Not likely, you'll have to play cash.

    They ask you to stop using so much profanity and explain that, while that was a terrible play, the full house that the gentleman with the drool coming out of his mouth and the mustard on his neck does still win because his 75o caught a runner runner boat to bust your flopped top two pair with AKs.

    Other than that, there's a TON of cash that flows upstairs at in the poker room. It's quite the site to see. Oh, and River Rock has a bad beat jackpot. A guy won it last year the night before the tourney. He flopped a boat with 1010 on a board QQ10, which he bet out (don't ask). Turn blanked, river 10. Opp flopped quad Q's. He won $40K I believe. guy with the Q's got $20K and everyone at the table got $2K. I'm not sure if that is how they always break it down or if it was just the guy that won being nice to the others at the table (aside from the guy with the Q's as I don't think he'd be giving him that much). If I remember correctly, the bad beat kicks in if you lose with AAA1010 or better.
