Where to play Sunday

djgolfcan

I have a little extra money and have the time to play on Sunday. The choices are :

1. Online on Poker Stars -
Buy-in - $150-$200
Multiple touraments - Thousands of players per tournament

2. Electronic Poker Tournament at Mohawk -
Buy-in - $100 - 18 players - $900 first place

3. Brantford Charity Casino Tourney
Buy-in - $120 - 80 runners - $2000+ first place

Let me know which option you suggest and why. Or, if there is another option I have not thought of please let me know.

Live, imo . . . too many landmines on the web. Play wherever you feel you have a better shot.

GTA Poker

You need to find the game you enjoy the most and just play that for a while. After 12+ years of poker I felt like I was done a year ago. I could no longer find a game that I enjoyed playing and, consequently, had 6-9 months of quite sporadic and losing play for the first time since I started. I took some time off and tried again and my game was way off. I tried playing a few different limits, different games, some online, some live and found my way back to a live game with a smaller player pool where I can use all my skills the best. I love playing vs regs. My game has 14 gears and theirs may have 2 or 3 at best.

If I were you, having read some of your posts on here, I would not play online at all and make myself get out and play some live sessions over a few months and then reassess. Do not play a hand online until you get this done.

If tournaments are your thing then just play them and avoid cash games. Live tournaments are super soft.

You will find that by playing live you will mostly only go play when you really feel like it as it is an effort to get out and get to the games. This will have you playing your A game a majority of the time. This will contrast online where it takes great discipline not to just play out of habit where your C game takes over. Focusing on live will probably decrease your tilt, increase your focus and give you a more tangible accounting of your wins and losses as it all becomes cash at the end of a session.

Plus, the new 100s smell like maple.

Doe this mean you're bringing your B game to moose's and saving your A game for Sunday?

Coles Notes: None of the above!

I agree with GTA Poker that this is the worst of your choices. I have transferred my entire Skrill balance to PokerStars, but I haven't even taken advantage of the deposit bonuses because live is much more juicy, especially at Fallsview during the WPT frenzy.

2. Electronic Poker Tournament at Mohawk -

The $150+$10 Deep Stack on February 1 with 50% more chips, better blind structure, $3,000 prize pool and only 6% fee would be a much better choice.

3. Brantford Charity Casino Tourney
Buy-in - $120 - 80 runners - $2000+ first place

A turbo with 20% fee and only 8K chips is hard to beat. I love Brantford tournaments, but I have never played any of their <= $125, high-fee turbos because there are many better value tournaments available in the GTA.

4. Unless you have found enough RFS such as with Mathers and bigslik77, every decent player in the GTA should take shots at the $4 million prize pool at WPT Fallsview, especially since many of the 650+ players that have won/bought entries are VERY "recreational." :wink2: Take a shot at the $245 satellite to the $1,100 before it gets cut off soon, and/or buy the $275 super satellite entry card for February 19.

Good luck!

It seems my wife has made my choice for me. She is now working on Sunday and needs the truck. In regards to Feb. 1 at Mohawk, I'm already committed to Bigslik's satty to Fallsview that day.

Maybe I'll just watch Football on Sunday.
