Casino Windsor Nothing to Hide No Limit Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament ??

Who has played this or can tell me about the pros and cons of the Windsor Venue and series? Trying to write a preview for it (not for CPT), know nothing about this particular location. Ring game action, attendance comps, hotels? Few opinions wouldn't hurt.

Or if someone else wants a stab at the whole thing and wants to be published, PM me and will put you in touch with editor. An Ontario writer would be great!

  • Looks like it may be an interesting series however no details on the website as to what buyins/structure are being offered each day. The advantage is for these is that there would be no witholding of winnings.
  • Chopped the first one this year. The cash games are beyond loose/soft @ 1-2 and 2-5 NLHE. The worst feature of an otherwise decent tourney is that only 50% of final day participants cash...followed closely by a stupidly flat payout structure.

    How many players were in the first one?

    Your comments contradict each other. If the payouts aren't flat then even fewer people will cash.
  • If you say so....

    I would prefer that only players ITM return on the 'final day' and that the pay out structure is steeper - no idea how that is contradictory or senseless. Let me solve the riddle for you - pay fewer - and play down to that number on Fri/Sat.

    But thank you for your input!
  • Jontm - If you would like some specifics feel free to contact the Poker Room Manager at Caesars Windsor. Would be more than happy to provide answers to your questions.

    Hobbes - The tournament will be run with 10 a table.

    Compuease - The buy-in for qualifying tournaments is $95 with 1 in 10 winning a transferable ticket to the main event. They run 10am and 8:15pm every day until the event is sold out.

    Steve Kerr - First one sold out at 200 buy-in $550. Some seats were sold for $850.

    BWC - Will take under consideration.

    We anticipate a great showing for this event with tons of play time. You will be starting with 12.5K chips. The rules are available at the website. You are looking at 60K for 1st place.

    Cheers,
    Poker Room Manager
  • CLB, I will contact you via PM, have one Casino Windsor Contact. I appreciate your help, also like to get player feedback as is helps me understand both sides of what makes an event great for venue and customer. I believe this will cap, and there is a positive that can be drawn from every negative. Wishing you the best, maybe Kerr can go take this sucker down too with his nice little haul from GBH!
  • Isn't this the same time as the BCPC's? Why run the same time as another Canadian major?

    I don't see the problem, There like 3000 miles apart. Not being a smart ass either Dennis.
    :) I was seriously going to go to BC but now I am thinking about going to Windsor. It being closer to home and all.
    Anyone else in the area considering this?
  • If I don't win the satellite to the BCPC that I am hosting then I will most likely be going to Windsor
  • I'm here in Windsor but doubtful I will be playing until I find work. Anyone coming down, drop me a line though!

  • Someone should hold a sat to this....and if they were going to they should send out the invites soon.
  • Can we buy -in now or do we have to wait until the satty's start the Monday before?

    When are you holding it? :)
  • This is what really pisses me off.
    The Casinos, Large and small charity are pretty much owned buy the Ontario Government.
    Instead of running Sats in all of the card rooms, Rama, Fallsview, etc
    Unless someone decides to do a Satty or in the next 3 or 4 weeks we have to go to windsor and play in them.
    A lot of BS I tell ya.:bs::bs::bs::bs::bs::bs::bs:
    Hang on Maybe I can work something out and run 3 or 4 in the next couple of weeks.

    All these are reasons not to hold Canadian majors at the same time....until we have the player base and draw that the big US/Europe events do, they should seriously consider timing things better... Don't split the players across the country that may go west (or east)...let them play both.

    What do you expect when it is all run by the Provincial Governments.
    Havoc and Chaos.
    There are not enough Major tournaments east of Manitoba Border.
    3 large casinos with big ballrooms sit idle most of the time

    Before you say it. I am talking 500 or more players like the WPT not 120 seat 1k buy-in.
  • anyone still planning on going to this?

    yepyep. Not sure if I want to drive Friday night and rest or go up Saturday am for day 1B
  • My plan is go up Saturday am since my league has a game the Friday night.

    On Saturday it starts at 4pm but if you pre register over the phone they want you there at 2pm to complete registration

    Have you got your seat for day 1b yet?
  • I was going and then decided to run a satty for Fallsview that Sat.
    I have been running real bad as of late. Last night I was totally Card Dead. I think I had 3 playable hands . The flops were very unkind when I was in a hand.
    I found out that there is a 50th birthday party for a close friend of ours on that Sat also that I have been told , YOU ARE GOING. Happy wife, Happy Life so I am told. Good Luck fellahs. :)
  • Got my seat for Saturday the 27th.
  • It's my wifes work Christmas party on the Saturday. I doubt i'll be able to make this.
