Yes sir and it doesn’t start till 12:30...... you can do it .
Lots of time for pokerz in the winter. Rest of the year it's work, work, work.
If it made the difference, I'd offer you a ride, but I'm in St. Catherines all morning that day.
Ride home tho.
But 207 runners and i am in the money.
Card Dead was there. He was doing pretty good in the cash game after he busted the tourney.
I was on table 6 most of the day And there was a crusty old bastard from The USA that kept calling everyone a bird. He would say only a bird would call with that garbage and a couple times he was mean to the dealers.
so..........
i waited Ted till he made his biggest raise of the day and called him with 10 8 of clubs. Everyone else folded.
Flop comes. 10h 6c 2c. I still think that he has an over pair because of how much he raised . The old grump bets 2000 into a pot of about 12000 and I call. The turn is the 8d.... hmmmmm Old Guy has about 18 or 19 k left. I shove it all in for just over 15k and he snap calls. Flips over his hand and says “ I got ya “ showing his pocket kings. I look down at my cards slowly and try to look as disappointed as possible as I flip over my 10 8........ to add insult to injury the river is Q of clubs giving me the flush.
again the guy says your a fuckin bird.......... I smiled and and asked him if he has any bird seed ........ oh boy he was not happy.
next hand I am on the button with K9...... I make 2 pair and take it down.
very next hand I go all in again KQ off and hit 3 queens there are 2 people in the hand.
very next hand pocket kings and I get a triple up
very next hand pocket jacks jacks and I shove again....... the guy just spit called me with 10 J hearts..... my jacks hold and I am just over 20,000 in chips......
it it was unreal. And it was crazy fun.
1 crazy hand on another table ...... a guy folds his hand face down over the line but not in the muck......only other guy in the hand flips over a jack high and guy picks his folded cards up and flips them over to show a king high........ the tournament manager comes over and rules that his hand is live........ this is the worst call I have ever seen in a tournament....... anywhere in the world that would be a mucked hand.
Is he one of the poker room supervisors at Casino Niagara ?

What time was it when you busted? Just trying to get an idea as to how long the tournament ran with ~200 entries.
I busted just around 9pm. They have been hitting final table by 10:30 pm and done by 11:30 or so. So plan on 11 or 12 hours if you go deep.
Buddy, do you approve?
Looks like STG and I will make it next Tues.
Cool...... I will try and be there also.
Yes, the improved Casino Niagara gets two thumbs up! When there were 159 entries, it took us 8 1/2 hours to get down to the final table. There is a lot of play with the slow WPT blind structure being used, compared to the faster structures where there are already antes from the very first hand. The rake for the $145.50 + $19.50 (including 3% staff gratuities) Tuesday tournament is only 11.8%. I predict that the record high of 244 entries :eek: will be broken soon.
The Sunday tournament’s starting stack has been increased 33% to 10,000, so it will have more play. The rake is even lower at 9.3%. Let me know if you have more questions.
