Windsor Trip

[MathBabe]

Hey guys;

Thanks for letting me know about this. Unfortunately I have a wedding on the 14th, but if I didn't, I would have definitely come out for this!

We took a trip to Casino Niagara earlier this spring, and if I hadn't been card dead the first two hours I would have cleaned up. The live games there are so much better than online... I had no idea.

I read on casino windsor's website that they have daily tournaments (of varying buy ins). This interested me very much considering i am not of legal age in america to play live and would like to go up some time. Has anyone ever played in these? If so, how are they? also, if uve been to casino windsor in general how is the poker there?

I have played in a few. Somedays are $50 and others are $100, but I forget which. The tournament is limited to 60 people and starts around 10 am. You get 2000 in chips and the blinds start at 25/50. For the first hour, the levels are 20 minutes, and then 30 minutes after that. The top 5 or 6 are paid.

During the summer, when the schools are out (US and Canadian), there is a line up for registration. The lineup starts at 8 and the registration starts at 9. If you are in a ring game, they will pre-register you starting shortly after 8 (normally). The $50 days fill up fast.

These tournaments are Monday to Friday

SNG's start up in the late afternoon and run everyday of the week.

Stud and Omaha on demand, but there is a 1/2 (100 max) NLH game going 24/7. Last time I was there, the games were raked.

There is a higher NLH game, but I can't remembe the blinds.

We will have a few good choices for food on the 14th. There is an all you can eat buffet in the Casino that will blow your mind. It can get pretty busy there though.

There is a Keg Steakhouse down the street that is excellent. I was there the other night and nearly wet my pants over the appetizer. I promise to control myself if we go there during the trip

Nikki & I are kinda leaning toward the casino buffet. Busy-schmusy

casino buffet sounds fine to me too - closer to the tables...

Oh - I better get my ass booked into a room somewhere...

Good call. You are going to love the food.

Personally, I am looking forward to taking all of Mr. "Big Cash" Mayhem's chips in a SNG.
(that is, after I beat his "worm" high score)
