$1/2 in Edmonton is $500 max. Their Deepstacks each month get great numbers (see GTA BAP from back when) and there is a major series with 4 events ranging from $300 to 2k alternating between Yellowhead and Argyll about every two months.
Edmontonians seem to respect their cash a bit more than Calgarians, so games are a bit better balanced. Tons of guys here will vouch that the cash games are just about perfect actually.
As far as what there is to do in Edmonton? west Edmonton mall, whyte ave (retro clubby trendy area and Jasper Ave, little more hot rods and alternative clubs).
One thing about Alberta though, we are generally very work orientated and busting our asses. It's no Saskatchewan. Oil fields keep everybody hopping and busy when they are going hard, kids making 6 figures and living in camps. I don't know what big city life was like for you in Ontario, Van is very chill compared to here. We don't shut down for snow. Edmonton has six foot high piles of it right now.
It's 2.5 hour drive to Calgary or $35 bus ride and we have tons of smaller field medium bI events too.
Red deer is in the middle of us and has series as well. Prob about 50 $300-$1000 events per year between 3 cities. Get a lot of players travelling back and forth since its so close.
Asssshhhhh

When I went to Vancouver I wish people told me about the aquarium, grousse mountain, east Hastings, etc lol
I'll be moving back to van (permanently) after a little time in Edmonton
Just any helpful touristy type stuff would be sick to know and I'd appreciate it
I'll keep my poker business to myself like I have been

I do believe there are TWO airports in Edmonton
When I arrived there back in March of 09 the pilot said it was warming up to a nice cool -25... so it is a nice dry cold... very dusty.
There are alot of Liquor depots
Oh and the mall has a swimming pool
Speaking of girlish figure, does anyone know how the quality of wominz is out there??

Alternatively, you could hang out your "couch-moving" shingle and see what arises . . .
Of course, this has nothing to do with what the women in Alberta are like.
Didn't want tot be the first to say it! Lol
