Casino Niagara Trip report

SocietyRed

I went to Casino Niagara today. I arrived at 12:30 and started playing 1/2 NL within 10 minutes. They had 4 or 5 tables with various limits going but only one was NL. Action was great, lots of big pots, few fish at the table. Couple of hands of note I remember:
I'm on the button with 5 or 6 limpers, I hold 4 : and 6 :. I pay the $2 to see the flop and BAM! 578 rainbow. there is a bet and a raise to $50 and I go all in for $100 or so. 2 callers and I'm tripled up. Before that I doubled up with K6 offsuit after flopping 2 pair. Lost about $55 to a nice looiking girl after she went all in with KK and I called with A :d: Q :d:. No help at all on the board. I went in with $100 and cashed out $359 around 4pm, after dropping $100 on roullete and shit I was still more then double my buyin.
Overall it was a much better experience then at Fallsview, much more quiet more room between tables. I would put this experience about the same as Seneca except that the people playing today were worse skill wise then Seneca. I will most likely be heading back tonight around 10 to close. I really like the 1/2 NL.
I think that as of today Casino Niagara and Seneca Casino are my two spots to play hold 'em. I will not be playing at Fallsview again.
Any questions just send me a PM.

cheers

PS, I was called a newb for playing 46 spades on the button with raise before or after me.

Thanks very much for the report, a couple of questions;

1/ What limits did they have, ie $2/4?

2/ Any sign of the spread limit, 1-3 or 2-6 that they have in Vegas? That's my favorite..

Thanks for the trip report. I'm planning a trip out to Niagara in the near future and have been trying to get a feel for the two rooms. As I expected, we'll probably be heading to Casino Niagara. Of course, as more people realize it's there, it'll probably start filling up.

I just finished my 3 day poker marathon at Casino Niagara. I played strictly 1/2 NL and finished $1200 ahead. Needless to say I like 1/2 NL a whole lot better then 6/12 FL.
I'll be a returning customer at CN for sure.

I swung by today to check it out after my econ exam. And I must say its looking good! And after talking to a few of the guys, within a month or two they will have a full lounge for the poker players complete with a pool hall and eventually life sports betting!

Looks like they decided to do it rigth this time!

Hmmm, should we make sure we're not playing each other?!

Will definitely be getting over there before next Friday.

A buddy of mine wants to check it out tonight, anybody have an idea of the Min/Max Buy-ins?

WaterLooser

For the 1-2 NL table is is usually $40 min, $100 max.
The other FL tables don't have a max as far as I know. So if you want to fell like a big man, you can buy a whole lot of $1 chips and then do fancy tricks with the massive piles. Try to make a CN tower or something

I couldn't do a poker trick if my life depended on it, but i'm sure i could build a CN Tower.

I'll be the one going all in with 7/2 :fish:
