Any have some BC and Ontario poker news?

I have been doing a poker pod cast with Jack McAdoo of pokerpodradio and he is giving us 10-15 at least every few weeks to report on poker in Canada. Doesn't have to be CPT related, just able to drop some names and plug some venues. Pretty easy for Alberta, but everyone wants to see the whole country included, as do I.

So if anyone thinks there is a players deserving of mention, a game coming up they want to put out there or just any tidbit poker and canadian specific, let me know and we will make it happen.

3600 Canadian's tuned in last week and he does run full page adds in Poker Pro magazine throughout the world. Really good resource to help put us on the map

  • Love it, and Kerr will be a perfect guy to talk about with being featured in Poker Pro Canada, (should be on shelves next week, usually in Casinos here a few days before the begininning of the month, then in stores a bit later) the next show about a few days after :). Also gonna talk to Jeff Burnett a bit I think. Don't know much about Ching or Royal cup, will start to google.....

    Ching Hill is a small local group in Brampton. We play weekly freezeout tournaments in a points league format. Been running now for a few years, but the thought of it being written about in a nationally published magazine is flattering, but unexpected. Meant no ill by my comment whatsoever. Just the thought that it could be googled struck me as being funny.

    Steve Kerr is a member of Ching Hill, although with his new job, he doesn't get out to play as much as he used to. He also runs his own league in Orangeville as well as plays many other regular games in the area. Excellent player, and all around nice guy.

    The recent Royal Cup event, not only did Team Ching Hill DOMINATE to victory ;) but Steve won each of his four events to capture the MVP of the event.

    There are several players locally that deserve just as much credit as Steve as well. Crazykoby, Wetts, Compuease, Ally, and many more...all very good players and have proven successful at the game, but you don't hear about them so much (well except Compuease...can't shut him up most times ;) ).

    Meant nothing by my above comment jontm. Like I said...never considered The Hill to be 'google-able'.
  • I think i maybe manstarating...no worries and sorry..brb
  • I really think what you guys do is cool and a truely Canadian Poker best represented. this is a small part of what was written. Hope you like:

    Steve came highly recommended by
    the players and community of www.pokerforum.
    ca, where he can often be found
    participating in discussions on many
    poker topics.
    A true student of the game, his contributions
    to creating the means and the
    live-play experience for players at all levels
    doesn’t end there.
    “I started playing Texas hold’em poker
    in 2006 in small home games with $20
    buy-ins, and tried to play online poker at
    this time too. I could never really get into
    online with working a full-time job, so I
    started up the Orangeville Poker Tour in
    2006 with a small buy-in of $40 and
    awarded players points based on place,
    round and how many players played. I
    eventually set up a website. The league
    became more popular and now our little
    group plays with buy-ins ranging from
    $60 to $150, with about 22 to 28 players
    a tournament. The league has also run
    four satellites to this year’s WSOP.”
    How many big names have had their
    start on this very same path? If you pick
    a random professional and ask about his
    beginnings in the game, most stories
    start like Steven’s.
