NON hold'em games spread in Ontario

torontoguy

Sorry if this topic's been done before, but is Brantford, Niagara or Rama spreading anything but hold 'em these days? I'm pretty sure Brantford only has hold 'em. Niagara does state on their website that they have other poker games, but I'm doubtful.

What about the others? I'd like to play some Omaha and Stud (regular or hi/lo). And I also think these games might be a little fishier for anyone with some book knowledge or on-line experience...(Wrong or right?)

What about the Seneca Niagara casion on the U.S. side?

I've seen a couple of lists start up for omaha at fallsview, but I have yet to see a game form.

Hey torontoguy,

We usually spread a $30-$60 Omaha Hi only game 2 or 3 nights a week. Call the Poker Pit (toll free)1.888.294.3766 ext. 263 and see if the game is in action and what the wait list is like. All the Casinos in the province can spread pretty much any Poker game the players want to play...it seems the players really only want to play Hold'em. It really stumps me why players will break a 6 or 7 handed Hold'em game rather than play Stud until a few players come in and then go back to Hold'em. Oh btw I'm with The Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry, we're about 45 minutes north and east of Scarborough. Maybe you'll start a trend for different games.

Cheers,

Lee

i've been to BCC, Rama, and GBH in the past 5 months and they all said they don't spread anything other than hold'em because of lack of interest... when did GBH start running 30-60 omaha? it's to high of stakes for me but i'm just curious. Rama and BCC said they would run it if there was enough interest, however they refuse to start a list... beats me.

I've played a 20-40 Omaha game at The Great Blue Heron a couple months back.

Great action.

there are not very many dealers at the blue heron who can deal anything other than Omaha-high/Hold-em, but there some who can deal O8-Hi-L and 7-card stud .. I believe those are the only two other variants that we are licensed for but Lee can provide further details. I would personally love to deal both of these games (and any other game than hold 'em/Omaha high) that we have a license for. PLO, PL hold 'em, NL .. 7 card-stud, 5-card-stud .. find out from Lee what we can spread, start a list, and if you can't get a game (lack of dealers) tell management to put up a list for people who know/want to deal the game. There will be dealers who will come in for overtime for it if the game can sustain it.

Hey guys,

Ontario Charity Casinos can only spread limit games or Tournaments, therefore... No-Limit or Pot-Limit is out of the question at this point in time. The only reason we get the Omaha Hi game on a regular basis is because that is what the players want to play. There are never more than one or two folks who even ask for a Hi-Lo game and even less who want to play Stud. geeto is right there are not many dealers who deal all of the games, but there are enough that do, and if players want a game, we'll spread it.

The 20-40 Omaha Hi game is now a 30-60 Omaha Hi game and it usually fires up on a Friday night and runs through Saturday, also has been known to start mid-week but breaks after 7 or 8 hours.

cheers,

Lee

if you want other games in my opinion the best palce to go is seneca casino in niagra falls US. you can walk from the rainbow bridge. This cardroom is one of the best around.

GTA Poker

THere are some great 4 8 kill and 15 30 hi lo stud/omaha rotations around the GTA.
