Numbers looking pretty good, 132 for 1a. They should have no prob hitting 300 total with Friday 1b 4:00pm start.
Just to compare, bi $440-$600 in western/prairie Canada last 6 months:
Winnipeg, 273 entries (we know a guy that won that )
Regina, 191 entries
Calgary Deerfoot 58 entries
Calgary Cash Casino (3 start days) 291-300 ish (30 payed)
Montreal
Playground, 183 entries
Between Dennis, T8urmoney and I will keep posted. Wondering if GTA in?
No dice for me, but did get to shoot the shit with
Yoda and Dennis here and there. Spent my tourney
Life with T8urmoney 2 seats to my left. Had a decent
Start but bled off about 20% of my stack being stubborn
Top pair. Bled off some more with qq to a player between me
And t8 and then enjoyed a few hands with him. Not sure
What he had, raised me pre, I hit jack high flop and lead but he
Re-raised enough to commit me if I called. Then I got in after he called
Preflop raise and he called my short stack shove on flop, with us both holding
Ace queen, lol. Couldn't pull off the four flush suck out on him,
Suspect voodoo...
Was fun playing with a fellow PFCer Busted soon after, time to end the slow misserable death with 55 into 77
Little ray off sunshine, swapped 3% with player ITM and average ships for Sunday.
Wife chopped $1100 satty for $550 so scratchish day
Trying to find out Dennis and Darby results now, I couldn't find t8 later
Darb is the last one of us in...I went out about 40th. A6o pushed into my AK, and then JJ came along to cover us both. JJ turned the straight and my A came on the river to turn the knife after insertion.
Cash games have been, as was said by others, sick...
1100 buy in....got reshoved with 30 bbs on a min raise with kk lost to 99 ....after i opened pre the far half of the table was commenting on how retarded i was and the guy who shipped thought he had me crushed....will post stories on live poker when i get a moment longer than this. anyways out like 50th....really excited about playing more live....
Didn't play any tourney today other than a sat to the 1100, which failed miserably. Jumped on the cash tables again playing 1/2 and came out 1k ahead on the day. Afternoon to early evenings seem to be the best fishing hours...everyone has deep pockets again.
there was a 10/25 plo game going as well...as well a 2/5 DC game tonight.
In the 550 tourney some kid shoved all in from about three off the button with about 9bbs and i tanked and called with somewhere around the same stack...we both flipped qjo and he wouldn't stop talking about how bad of a call it was......
At the cash tables i sat with a guy who was mumbling his hole cards to himself as he was playing, i couldnt believe it "6 9 clubs 6 9 clubs, what should i do with 6 9 clubs". lol. then one hand he sits back all dramatic and says "aww i dont' even know if i can beat anything....pauses and says "im all in".....the person snap folds and this guy shows quads kings.
In the 550 the was an ep raise and the sb shoved while i was in the big blind. i tanked cause i was ahead of the small blinds range and was trying to figure if the ep would fold and i remember the last hand and he showed q8s. So i shove and he says "ya whatever hollywood" and the whole table starts laughing at me expecting to see aces and i shocked them when i showed kqo.
I also got a talking to about shoving my sb into the bb beside me. apparently when he gets a good hand he was gonna call me....
I have no idea what game these people are playing.
Just finished up the 340, after a reentry, finished up 10th for 900. Cannot believe the AK's that people were folding and showing how good they were. 20 players left and they are folding AK to 3x raises...and showing. Made my short stack shoving very easy. At final table was short...60k, blinds 4k/8k ante 400 and I got AQo in the bb. Shipped to the big stacks raise...ran into AK.
I did flop a straight flush..got paid off...not fully, but well worth the 4k call pre..lol
Oh yeah, knew the day would be a win when first thing this morning, in the elevator, yoda and i get offered beer... out of a plastic shopping bag..."breakfast of champions" this young woman says... Kind of makes up for the brawls in front of the hotel the night before..

lol....fyi, pretty standard stuff playing live....that's actually why I enjoy live, not dislike it.
I can see your perspective going from online --> live.....as I went the other way, I enjoy the table banter. As angling is allowed @ Yellowhead....it makes for an entertaining game to me.
Congrats on the $550 finish....where'd you end up?

following ya, @bcboy72
38k at dinner break, very nice.
dominating table I was at, moved to much tougher table + no cards + tough spots = bust in 38th or so, paid 18
I'll post a hand or two for discussion tomorrow, as I think I butchered 2 hands which eventually got me felted.
T-10 hours to the felt.

edit: half that loss was gin and lime though...
Played a one table sat to the 550. Out first hand... lol..I run good.
Will play the 550 tomorrow, and try to sat into the 1100.
woot.....I'm not the only one...after destroying Vegas in the cash games in Feb, I've gotten raped (no lube) since returning to YEG
Did they have a 1-2 or 2-5 PLO or DC last night, or was it just the too big for me game?
GL today fackers
I'm trying to get out of work early to play today.
ya got caught trying to bluff into aces...
plo was the big game only i do believe...
yeah, it was the 5/10 plo. lots of 1/2, and a wait list on 3/6 but i don't think it ever got going.
3/6 LHE?.....lol....haven't seen that there in probly 4 years
Good Luck.
(and sux to have to wait till Sunday)

Nope, I'm a cash guy.
Would be cool to meet some forum members though.
