OK guys (and gals). The Ontario poker league has started up the league again at the new Brampton location this Sunday, 12 noon. So far only 16signed up online so the danger is that the league may fold. Can't believe that we can't get a lot more players out to this unraked, extremely well structured event. This ones a $100. buyin but I'm sure if the consensus is for a lower buying, future ones may be lower. You can sign up here and either register or voice you opinion, or both.

If you have any issues signing up, let me know and I'll register you as a guest. Let's support this or at least create some positive outlook or we may lose one of the best tournaments in Southern Ontario...
Some of the detail...
************************************************
So far only 16 have replied that they will attend this Sunday's event. These #'s are too low to keep the league going and we are in danger of folding up for good. This new spot is a testing ground for us and holds a lot of promise. If you know of someone coming that is either computer-challenged or outright defiant to reply, please submit him (or her) as a guest of your's so we can bring the #'s up a bit. The food situation is yet to be worked out, but there are plenty of places nearby, anyway.
Please spread the word:

Gotta check, but I think I'm good to go for this Sunday
Milton Slim
still gotta confirm.
Should know by Thursday

However, THIS Sunday doesn't look promising at the moment. I'll need to re evaluate the capital this week and see if its at all possible. If I can swing it, I would be there, but I can't commit until Friday at the earliest.
Now, if I should WIN Thursday night on The Hill, I'll DEFINITELY be there.
idk but id be in for breakfast Sunday morning at either Coras or Giggling Tomatoes?
So, that's a "No", then? >:D
+1 to AJ's other comments. At $100.00 I'd just as soon play on the Hill. If this were a monthly thing, maybe. But I am just a poor donk starting out, not like you sharks who are flush with $$$.
Frosty, sign up on the wesite and you will get email notification for future events... You can also voice your support and preferences for buyin. I do know that the $50. buyins got lots more players... Oh, and it's not my events, I'm just passing on the info. This league was started by Curtis in Orangeville, he is up there with Zithal as a great tournament organizer.
If it can be done, I'll be there. But like I said, I won't know for sure until Friday at the earliest. If possible, please inform the organizers that I am, and I'm sure others, are indeed interested.
I assume you got the same email from Kurtis that I did about that one? It's the same address but I think a different unit, not 100% sure but we'll see. As I understand it the regular league game has no rake, not sure about the Saturday one. I'm busy Sat anyways but will be there Sun.
"The higher the monkey climbs up the tree . . ."
Typically about 6-10 months, so at least youre good for the first few weeks.
Thought the same thing when I got the email. Saturday games are obv for a raked club. Sunday (if its the same place) Im not sure.....
I'll be there Sunday, but having been through a couple club busts I think I'll avoid the Saturday games.
The last few GTA raids it has been everyone. When I was involved my information was taken, but no charges.
LOL at anything on the web being "private" . . .
Quiet Mikey.
Please, don't tell me I have to increase the population of my "ignore" list . . .
Can it be?
I posted on the meetup site regarding this but no one answered yet, maybe someone from here can?
me?
