Bill's GOLD MEMBER updates

I'm going to try to use this thread to update all those that might be interested
in what is happening at :

MORE THAN JUST MOVIES
3550 Wolfedale Road
Mississauga, Ontario
905-279-7780

Open daily 6 pm - 2 am and Sat.-Sun. 2 pm - 2 am

Just a reminder to GOLD MEMBER forum members that we have a freeroll
scheduled for Sat. July 12 at 2 pm where the winner will win $130 Super
Satellite at 7 pm at Brantford Casino on Tues. July 15 and 2nd place will
win $130 Super Satellite entry at 7 pm at Brantford Casino on Mon. July 21.

Greg emailed me and said he would not be coming due to a prior engagement.
He also said Milo might not be coming. I guess that makes it that much
easier for those that show up.

  • True . . . I will not be there. I cannot play either event due to vacation plans, so I may as well give someone else a shot.
  • I hope RookieC shows up :frown:

    He will, and if he wins, we'll take his picture, just for you.

  • I assure everyone... I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille !
  • Today, we had our 3rd freeroll. I'm sorry to say although we were giving a PRIZE of
    2 - $130 Super Satellite entries to Brantford Casino we only had 4 entrants which
    included Colin and myself.

    Congratulations go out to Don M., father of Irunit4times, who beat me with a straight which he caught on the river ( lucky guy ) against my 2 pair.

    Next freeroll is Sat. July 26 where winner will receive entry for $550 Deep Stack at Brantford Casino.

    Hopefully more show up.
  • Because I know OHTNCTRHM is dying to know how I did, I shall explain...

    With three players remaining and holding a slight chip lead over the other two, I raised before the flop with AK. Had one caller (Don) Flop came K 10 4 I bet Don called. The turn was an A. I shipped it and Don called with pocket Q's. No flush possible so all I had to do was dodge a J or Q. The river was a jack : (
    Had my two pair held over the Q's Don would have been eliminated and yes I would have been ready for my close-up!

  • I will be there.
  • General policy announcement to all GOLD MEMBERS :

    Effective immediately we will allow an optional $20 buy-in to our 7 pm FUN POKER
    TOURNAMENT. What this means is suppose we were, by any stretch of one's
    imagination get for example 20 players, with 12 players wanting to participate
    with cash and 8 not, then all would still be playing for the 5 freeroll first prize but
    those with the $20 buy-in would also be playing for a Brantford Casino or other
    casino entry. The cash entrants going the deepest would be the winners. This will
    be completely rake free and all monies would be held in escrow for the winners
    to be put towards suitable Brantford Casino or other casino events of their choosing.

    If this sounds a bit confusing, please make a comment. I will gladly answer any questions.

    The Poker Place in Scarborough seems like they are so successful sending winners
    to all kinds of live events. I would like to do the same and more in Mississauga on
    a completely rake free basis with one major twist ( your winnings are bankable to
    be applied to an event of your choosing )

    What do you think ?
  • The Poker Place used to post on here for a short while, but hasn't been around lately.

    TORONTO ACES did as well.

    Both may not be posting here but if you go to meetups you will see they are alive
    and well and thriving and by the way sending lots of players to casino events.

    Hopefully, I can emulate their success.
  • Since both take rake/fees from the players' buy-ins, it's only a matter of time before they get raided by the OPP.

    Blondefish, I don't think they'll ever get raided. Why ?

    Because they're only acting as a conduit for casino's. They give away PRIZES or
    entries to casino events. They, in fact, are acting as an agent for the casino's.

    What's wrong with that ?

    As has been discussed previously. Laws of discretion.
  • Blondefish, I don't think they'll ever get raided. Why ?

    Because what they are doing is illegal and the rake that they take, is rake that would otherwise be going to the Government. They sort of frown on that idea.

    entries to casino events. They, in fact, are acting as an agent for the casino's.

    No, they are not. they are in competition with the casinos for the same customers and the same $$$. The fact that they offer entry into casino events is irrelevant.

    What's wrong with that ?

    Nothing . . . everything.

    Please note, all the tournaments with the optional $20 entry, at the 7 pm FUN POKER TOURNAMENT, will be 100% rake free and the winner of the cash entries will be able to bank their winnings towards a PRIZE of their choice.

    Since not too many are showing up to our freerolls on Saturdays even though
    they qualify, I'm thinking maybe it's the wrong day. Therefore I'm changing the
    next freeroll that was scheduled for Sat. July 26 2 pm to Fri. July 25 8 pm. We're playing for the $550 Deep Stack entry to Brantford Casino on Sun. July 27 at 11 am.

    Congratulations to Blondefish, our newest GOLD MEMBER who joined last night,
    played our 7 pm FUN POKER TOURAMENT, expeditiously beat Colin and myself
    and now has 8 freerolls in the bag.

    I'm expecting more members to show up on the Fri. July 25 freeroll and in
    anticipation, plan on having a pizza party before, from 7-8 pm. Let's get together
    and have a fun night. I honestly would like to meet more of you.

    REMEMBER ALL GOLD MEMBERS QUALIFY FOR THIS FREEROLL,
    SO COME ONE, COME ALL AND ENJOY.
  • Methinks the guy with the long overdue GOT Season 3 DVD should pay for the pizza party. ;)

  • There is no due date for GOLD MEMBERS. :O

    tapatalk puts this here to annoy YOU
  • RookieC tho
  • Made the journey to Bills poker palace tonight.

    I must admit i wasn't sure what to expect........

    First off Bill is a gentleman and i believe he has only positive intentions.

    If we can get some regulars showing up this thing can work and i think it can be a very useful tool to get in some live tournament practice.

    Bill and Colin it was great meeting you both.
  • Welcome to the dark side.

    Don't forget. FREE POOL!

    not to mention, GOTS3 for as long as I want

    That's OK, I gots One Direction DVD instead for as long as I want! :-[
    Speaking of which, what's the best way nowadays to buy sold-out concert tickets - Stubhub, Kijiji, or just go to the Rogers Centre on the day of the concert and haggle with the scalpers?
  • Is there porn dvds at Bill's ?
  • A shit load

  • And it's ALL currently in the viewing queue behind GoTs3 at "someone's" house.
  • BetaMax tho...

  • Went to Brantford Casino last night for the $130 Super Satellite where 1 in 5 had
    a chance to win $550 entry to July 27 tournament.There were 29 players, with 5
    winners and 6th getting $440. Again I almost made it but no cigar. I ended 8th.

    See you at my freeroll on Friday, July 25 at 7-8 pm where all GOLD MEMBERS
    will have a shot at winning this same $550 entry.

    GOLD MEMBERSHIP is a paltry $30.

    You figure it out.

    LET THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
