Brantford (PFC) Tourney Aug 18th
It is a Thursday so some planning may need to be made ahead of time for some members. I already have the day booked off from work.
The buy in is $200 and the blinds go up every 1/2 hour. 7500 chips to start.
Let's get as many PFC members in the field as possible. Let's show these regs how we play poker. Love to see an all PFC final table.

Naw, I'm going away for the Long weekend so I can't play in the July 31 one, plus the 18th of August gives people time to plan to play.
Years ago when I paid for my Brantford buy-in with my Canadian Tire MasterCard, I got a warning call from CT and told never to use it for any gamboooling. Today the main card I use (prepaid) did not work even though it's accepted just about everywhere else, so I phoned CT and this time they told me that only online gambling transactions are not allowed (they gave partypoker.com as an example).
Never had a problem with CC, mine is a prepaid also.
Just load it up and way you go...
Might be a good idea to get a few players from Brampton to carpool!.

Never had this for Port Perry or Brantford.
The Brantford brochure lists the $1K tournament as $900 + $100 administration fee, with only 30 minute blinds. However, its own Official Rules & Regulations states that $1K tournaments should have a fee of only $75 with 40 minute rounds. The brochure also lists the $500 deep stack as having 30 minute blinds, but the regulations again state that that the length of rounds should be 40 minutes for $400+ tournaments. I don't know when I'll play next at Brantford, but please mention it to the poker room so that hopefully the fee and/or blinds will be improved.
Anyway, while there I noticed that they are running single table satellites for the $500 and $1000 if enough people sign up. I don't know if anything ever came of it...
I just wish they could do a Satellite tourney for the Blue Water events.
I signed up yesterday and was the 26th. This one has a good chance of selling out...I don't think there were this many signed up a couple days out in the last 2 I played in. Each of those had 80 and 72 players.
Good luck
+1
and win me some $$$$
I ended up at the same table as screenman and Hellmuth's Mole for the first hour or so. Nice to get a chance to meet some fellow pfc'ers.
The player caliber ran from 5 - 8 on a scale out of 10 - Even the most experience players seemed to just wait for big hands and to get paid by the not so good. Quite a lot of suckouts that I saw, three times it was pair vs over pair and the underpair caught up. AA < 99 - 77 < 55 and KK < JJ.
The blind levels were 30 minutes, so for the first 4 hours of the tournament, you could play poker. Near the end though, especially the final table, it became shove or fold. It ran 8 hours (10am - 6pm).
I was only all in twice all day and once it was with two tables left (20 playes) and I was down to 10 BB - had TT and it held against chip leader's AQ. From there I cruised to the final table, with an average stack ($60k) and the blinds were $1500 / $3000 with a $300 ante.
Everyone kicked in $20 for bubble boy (top 9 paid, final table had 10). I ended up 7th for $672.00 - first paid $4400+. Tried to steal the blinds with $40k (blinds were $3k/$6k +1k)left with 8-4s and got called and lost to K-J.
There was only one hand I would have played differently and overall was happy with the way I played. the one hand ? had 6-6 at the final table and was UTG+2- UTG raised to $16k (BB was $4k) - I folded but I think I should have shoved hoping for a flip. Found out after, that he did have A-K.
Did you manage to play at a table with an idiot from Grimsby who wore lime green and a UB hat? That guy was a know it all retard who wouldn't shut up all day. The best part was when he busted out and told the guy he couldn't wait to see the guy at the WSOP.
Clowns.
lol, classic GTA... Hey we're not all big time playas like you guys out west you know.... And the scarcity of decent Casino tournaments in Ontario make us like this....
