Hello All
Alright... I'm new to this forum... but not to poker. I live in Cornwall, Ont... a short drive across the border to the Ahkwasasne Casino where the have a very nice Poker Room... not huge be any stantards but well run and very 'lively' 
I run a home game with about 8-10 regulars every couple of weeks.(usually 3-6 with a short tourney near the end of the night). Ive got a home made table and those ever abundant striped dice chips. I've customized mine with .75" round Avery labels. A neat little homemade logo run through the ink jet printer can give your chips a great look for pennies.
You can see a pic of my chips at...

Yes.. that's my poker table under the cards... I'll post a pic as soon as it gets recovered. Just finished a basement recroom and the table is going to get a new burgandy 'felt' to match.
Anyway... glad to see a Canuck board for poker... Go Flames!

I love what you've done to your chips. Looks pretty cool
yes...Go Flames Go
I occasionally head to the Akwesasne casino myself. It's the closest casino poker action to Ottawa.
As for "well run", I'd say this depends a lot on who the supervisor on duty is. I have seen floors ranging from excellent to piss poor, although on the whole, I'd say it's mostly okay, and not even super intrusive when bad. The dealers are generally all at least good, with quite a few who are very good.
As for "lively games" that's one way to describe it.
For people who know Brantford, I'd say their $3-$6 is probably a softer game most of the time than most Brantford $5-$10 games, or at the very least, it's pretty close.
Nice looking chips for your home games too!

You say this like it was a "bad" thing.
