Costanza's TR of Edgewater Casino

Well, my buddy flew me in, just like he said he would, I arrived this afternoon in sunny (cold) vancouver, Toronto was 30 degrees + when I left >:D

coming in:

My buddy has a girl over, so instead of intruding on their time, I make the 5 minute stroll down pacific avenue.

I get to edgewater around 9ish?

I snap marched upstairs to go to the poker room, the staff was very friendly to me, and a floorman actually escorted me upstairs to make sure I was taken care of when i asked for directions.

I go put my name on the list for some classic 1/2 action. obv it being friday night, the wait is 2 hours. But me being a degen, i dont mind at all actually, and I play penney slots, had a few smokes outside (beautiful location this casino is, right on the harbour) and did my classic 5 dollar spin on black, just to start the night off right :laugh: shiiiiiiiiipppppp

I go in and decide to sit in at 10$ max black jack, I figure what the hell, and I threw 20 on the table. I crushed black jack upto 105$ and said eff it, im gonna play my poker with this, lets just see where 20$ and lots of fun gets me.

third hand in, i squeeze KK from the button, UTG 4 bet shoves on me, so obv his limp jam range is always aces, but nope it was TT, sicko double up.

thats all fine and dandy, im happy, until this next hand happens.. 8 way limped pot so obv i squeeze from the puck with JJ, UTG (same villian) flats, and I get 3 callers! flop is 3 bricks, I lead out for 45~ish i think, UTG jams it home, i sigh call and obvvvvv he has QQ

all in all all my fun cost me 20$ but it could have been alot more :(


Oh and as for my actual feelings on this casino is that it is much to small. all of the table games (micro baccarat , 4 card poker, BJ, roulette, etc, etc) is super crowded, just like the slot hounds. Its very uncomfortable moving around. as for the poker room, I guess it's pretty standard. Overall, i thought the poker there was very soft and I can and WILL rape it tomorrow/the next couple days. If anyone is around, let me know!

    im really gonna lay a thumping on these fuckers tomorrow, the play is really horrible man

  • Go to Stanley Park. If you're staying downtown, just ask someone which direction it's in.

    Go for a walk around the seawall. You won't regret it.
  • nice TR keep it up, gl at the tables
  • Go to Hastings if your looking to smokerock24/7 ;p
  • Pain and Wastings (aka Main and Hastings), V6A 1N6. Most poverty ridden postal code in Canada.'
  • Seeing your fly-in pic, and those like it, always reminds me of Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. In it he describes his thoughts about climbing Everest, realizing that the plane he is flying in is cruising less than 1000 feet above the summit he intends to climb.
  • You still think 2/5 going to be soft tonight with I believe Day 2 of $1,600 ME going on?

    yup, im gonna crush it.
  • Edgewater is ok.

    It's a shame the plan for a new casino was denied..

    I like River Rock.. just too far away.

    Grand Villa gonna be adding a poker room later this year:D

    Doesn't the new (I call it new because they hadn't finished it before I left) Skytrain run out that way. I assume they wouldn't have built a stop for the River Rock, but there must be one close by. I played at River Rock a few times. It is quite nice.

    This is assuming you don't have a vehicle as it's not that far a drive.

    What's Grand Villa?
  • The Canada line has a stop right at River Rock.

    Grand Villa is a casino in Burnaby right off the highway by Willington and Canada Way. Used to be called something else a few years ago though.. but ever since I've been old enough to go it has been Grand Villa.
