So 10 percent is 21 dollars.
I'm pretty sure jesus will be on my side for these easter events so get a piece of me while you can.
wouldn't 10% be $42 if you're playing both supers?
True dat
You getting a room there? Maybe I will fly over for the friday/sunday games myself...
Just chopped my league game for 2nd time in 3 weeks and just starting playing it, up $350 and got some more for some mag work, so my $550 on Friday is a lock.
Bren had $270 league banked, so her Sunday seat is also locked.
Looking forward to it!
I need to know which Ramada though? Is it the one closest to the airport? I am hoping Darb comes with for some company on the drive and chopping costs, but, whichever, I am ok for going it alone as well. I might be able to talk another BSPT player into coming as well...he has a seat coming to him for winning Season 10.
Ramada on Kingsway is the closest one to the casino (5 minute drive to casino).
See you beeatches here.
Its a capital 'J' by the way.
not likely, but registering at least a couple hours before event is a good idea
another thing to note, if you don't play in YEG often:
all events are usually 're-entry' until first break
ie. If I manage to bust in the first hour, I can go back to registration desk, pay, and get another seat (not likely the same table)
Perfect, thanks.
And yeah, I learned about the re entry last time I was down and knocked out second hand of the tourney...lol
Cash game player at the next table started chirping with some guys he knew at my table as we were getting ready to play..and says if he can have the empty seat at our table to the director, he will join...they say yes. He gets in after the first hand and says that he is raising 600 blind utg then all in on the flop blind. He is utg and raises 600 without looking...I am watching him close..I look down, KQs...ok, I will play this game...call the 600...We are heads up..he still hasn't looked..flop is rainbow K high, he looks at me and says he is all in...I call....he flips aces over. And I am fully sure he never looked, just one of those days...so yeah, I got to use the reentry. In the first 10 hands he was at the table, he was all in blind 3 times, 2x had aces. He raised blind the rest of the time and shoved the flop blind. Won every time he was called. Sick game.
139 entries last night.....14 full packages (500 & 1K seat), 15 & 16 received smaller seats.
flips > me, 3 consecutive to knock me out....AQ<Q7, 45<68 (shortstack call on my BB), and 56<78 (shortstack shove on my SB) to finish 24th......phack
Likely hit the Argyll Thursday night or maybe try out the cash tables at St. Albert.
Three handed 1/2 in St. Albert??? F*rk that, let's hit Century for some power 3/6 FL!!! Or Palace at West ED...if we bust our rolls we can reload from the whale fountain!!!
Argyll is a dungeon room (like Cash in Calgary), but they have lots of tables and action
Century is OK (limit is for the mentally unstable, so stick to NLHE), but haven't been there for a year or so
St Albert: heard they reno'd, and is nicer, was tiny room before with no action...probly a little better now
RiverCree: Moved poker room to the floor with the slots (ie. like alot of Vegas rooms)...if you're a non-smoker, you probably won't like it. Probably the best fish in town however.
Palace (west edm mall): Haven't been there in a few years even though I live pretty close...if that tells you anything. Mostly limit I think.
Downtown (braincramp on the name): Mostly limit, usually have a 4-8 limit Omaha, which can be fun while getting smashed, as it's mostly bingo.

Yup, that's it.....if there's a new hockey arena put here....down comes the Baccarat.....as it's in the proposed area.
First thing I read was Yellowhead and 3-6 limit.....haven't seen a limit game in 3 or 4 years there.
This one hasn't been updated for probably 1-2 years, judging by what the tourneys are, but better than the other one
Figured that everyone that knows how to play will be in the Yellowhead..the other casinos should be full of people that have no clue..
played here last trip, and while the chips and tables are old, the dealers were good, as was the action. haven't been to either yet. Wasn't a big fan of the atmosphere, dealers or other players.. Last time I was there, there were only 2 tables going. All regs. This was between Xmas and New Years when I figured the terrorists would have it packed up...
Meh, action.....I follow the action....there will be a tonne of shooters at Yellowhead, probly only grinders everywhere else.
Shooters luv tourneys....that's why I'm playing.
When do you get in Jonboy?
fyi...if you're interested in sattys.....they'll be running single table sats on demand
I should be there a few hours before Friday's event, so 2:00ish. Have a couple stops in the am on Friday then off to E-town!
sweet, I was wondering about this...will definitely try those out.
He had a 99 on a 9 46 flop and initial preflop raiser held 46....
GOOGGGGGGOOOOO! Good Luck!
