Regular Edmonton Tournements (Fort McMurray content)
Hello All,
I did a search but didn't turn anything up. Just curious in anyone has a list off all the regular tournies (weekly/monthly) in Edmonton? Or any non regular upcoming tournies. Casino or otherwise.
I live up in Fort MCMurray, and work shiftwork, so I kinda have to plan things out ahead of time, but plan on getting in a few overnight poker trips to Edmonton this summer.
Also, if anyone wants to split rides down to Edmonton, I drive a VW TDI, so gas is not an issue. I also have a place to stay about 5 minutes from the Yellowhead Casino, and might be able to offer a couch to someone.
Anyway, thanks in advance,
*mike*

Argyll - Saturdays $100 NL freezeout, Sundays $30+Rebuys NL
Palace - Tuesdays and Thursdays $30 NL freezeout
Baccarat - Tuesday $50 NL freezeout, Wednesday $30+Rebuys Limit/NL, Saturday $10+Rebuys Limit/NL, Fridays $50+Rebuys NL
probably full all the time though, maybe I can call in advance and pay for my seat!
roughly how many seats at most tournies (avg)?
I heard that they are switching to $40 next month with T1500 to start. (not sure if the blind structure is changing)
The quality of play is a real mixed bag, but there are many very loose players that call and chase to the river with very marginal hands. Unfortunately the blind structure makes it mostly a crapshhot and you need to get some cards early to have any real chance to make the final table. I did make one final table but was extremely short stacked and finished eighth.
I'd be interested in hearing about what others have to say about the tourneys at Baccarat and Yellowhead.

The Baccarat 50$ freeze out is Monday. 3,000. blinds go up every 15 mins.
25-25; 25-50; 50-75; 50-100; 100-200; 200-400 ... 77-99 players... takes approx 3hrs. Quick structure.
The Palace Tourneys are ridiculous structure. Like playing speed tourneys on Party!
One Monday per month, Yellowhead has a $200.00 freeze out.
Best Weekly events by far are the 110 Freeze out at Argyl at 3 PM saturday. $5000 starting chips. USually 44-66 players. Takes approx 5-6 hrs. Reasonable amount of play.
The Rebuy tourney alternates every sunday between yellowhead and argyl. There are a lot of chips in play in this tourney, and there is a lot of play once you get past maniacal rebuy period (1hr).
Tourney every day of the week! GL
I am gonna compare schedules right now!!
whoooot!
