New Port Perry / Great Blue Heron

What do you all think of the renovated poker room at Port Perry. Nice work! ... but doesn't justify them increasing the rake to 6% !! Looks like they're going to grab some more money back from the players to pay for the renovations!

Makes no sense to lose $7.00 (rake + bad beat) on a hundred dollar pot - this will especially be felt at the 10-20 games. The Omaha or 20-40 game is less significant but on principle alone the rake is still outrageous. You're definitely better off with the $5.00 session fee at Brantford for 10-20. I don't even bother tipping anymore since too much money comes off the table already.

They are really treating the players like second-class citizens. The least they could of done was reno the snack bar and off more choices for food, they can't even do that!

  • When did they do that? Was just there last week.
  • I think they started doing it at the end of January. They gave notice a few weeks back they're raising rake from 5% to 6%. You will see it flash up on the Bad Beat TV screens. They're also not allowing cel phones in the poker pit at all ... if you're caught with them, you're dealt out of the next hand (!!).... talk about running a dictatorship !

    Their only good improvement they've implemented is you can buy chips from a cashier window now, why they never had that before is beyond every poker player that goes there.
  • Actually, if you were there last week.... for sure they were already taking the higher rake.... you probably didn't notice the dealers taking the extra dollar out of the pots.
  • No I'm talking about the rennovated poker room. I don't play cash games there. Yeah I don't like their cell phone rule at all.

    Finished renovating a few days ago maybe. All they did was put up a permanent railing to close off the poker room to traffic. The tables and players are enclosed now versus being in open space before. They also changed the wall decor.
  • wasn't a very big reno.

    cell phone rule was implemented cause they actually caugth players cheating by using there cell phones. At least that is what I was told
