Is the Death of the Forum Indicative of the State of Poker in Ontario?
Give that most of the forum posts from Ontario, I am curious if the lack of activity is mirroring the poker scene over there? I have not been back to ON since 2008 and wonder what is going on out there wrt pokerz.

honestly, i've stopped posting a lot on here because it feels like i'm just talking to myself nowadays (and i don't need the forum to do that). i still lurk but what's the point of my posting/commenting when no one else ever responds/cares? i honestly felt like i was personally carrying the forum for a little while as i always post in off topic and i was the only one posting in strat threads. but like i said, the lack of anyone ever responding has led me to stop trying.
glad you are back (for the moment) GTA. hopefully you can get some people riled up and posting again.
But then you see things like the Royal Cup, Buzzards games, Moose's games, etc, etc, and it gives hope.
Great for guys like me who just want to play after work against good guys for smaller stakes. For someone looking to grind though? LOL yeah Ontario would not be my choice.
I have noticed that posting traffic on here has dropped like a rock though. Strategy posts are effectively gone.
As usual, I blame Trigs. FU Trigs. (it's been a while, had to work that in somehow)
Most of the active discussion is either on staking, live tournaments, meetups, home games etc and the off topic section. I don't really see much drop off in those areas. Many have quit online poker and prefer to play live anyways.
I have always viewed poker as a profitable social game. ie something fun that pays me money. I think most of the regs see it that way too. In other words poker has essentially returned to the days pre 2005.
A few months ago I moved to Halifax. Got tired of commuting for 4 hours a day and the Bull Shit that went along with it.
Well said Rob!
[OPT] Orangeville Poker Tour has awarded 19 Seats to this years WSOP and still have one more satellite this Saturday.
Did BC never come together for you GTA?
Any public forum has people who like to troll and make comments, it's very common. Trolling here is way milder than 2plus2 or even my seniors forum.....
Most accidents occur close to home. most of his travel will be in that "close to home" danger zone. He should have moved to London.
Also put my hand up I am terrible at responding to stuff. Nearly 1k post in 2p2 but only two here. I will go out of my way to post at least two or three times week from now on
Does this count as one.
This.
Poker has returned to the sub-culture world. Don't get me wrong, it's still popular among those who chose to learn and play but you don't see as many total randoms trying it out anymore. At least in our casino.
Only because you've lost so much weight, I wouldn't recognize you!
Fallsview is a different story, it has slowed down a fair bit. Saturday night there were only 10 tables going. I know compared to most you here my poker skills are pretty weak bit i still find Fallsview to be very profitable on a Fri or Sat night. There were three regulars on our table and we all made out very well, people would sit down and blow off between 500-1000 and leave. Guys were calling off their stacks with straight draws with a possible flush or full house on board.....even i know thats bad pokerz.
