Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

Saw on PA that 2/2 and 5/5 PLO are now offered. Anybody play?

If you go here to play 2/5 be prepared to be told by a bunch of douchebag regulars that you MUST straddle every orbit ...
I've been playing here weekends since June and about 9 times out of ten some miserable reg who is stuck tells me I have to straddle...

I'm beating the game for $60 pH over a small sample (350 hours) and I have never straddled ...so if ur like me and don't want to straddle be ready for mis regs here to fk with u..

It sounds like you're the miserable reg.

You mean it is profitable to not put in 2bb blind utg while the entire table is doing it?? I am shockeddd

There are always tables that are not straddling you could move to. You choose to stay at the splashy games that the whales love to play. You take advantage of the whole table while not contributing to the action and then complain when you get called out.

Long term this is a -EV strategy, other players will stop the straddle and the whales will actively avoid you. They are there to have a good time and there are plenty of other tables they can move to.

Yup, that was my experience in the ONE single session I played there. I sit down, some guy tells me table is "mandatory straddle" so 2 hands later when I am UTG I straddle. I soon realize that only 5 people are straddling.

I have no problem straddling if the entire table is and everyone enthusiastically agrees, but when one shitter tries to bully the table into straddling its annoying.

Alex, for $400, I'll take "Apocalyptic Warnings That Never Come True."

I've actually seen entire tables automatically break multiple times because a non-straddling nit comes to the table.

Does anyone know when they will open registration for the WSOPIC at GCCRT for the Main Event ($2,000.00) April 17,18,19? If I'm correct they sold out last year and I want to get in for this one.

It's open now. Online only until April 1st and a 5.5% processing fee on top! So ridiculous.

Has anyone been there today to sign up ? Are the lines long like last time on day 1 ?

I was there yesterday at around 5pm. No line, walked right to the cage. Process was very quick and easy. None of the events were even close to being sold out yet.

How are the cash games here heard the rake was very low and the comps were great

you heard wrong. Unless youre being sarcastic, it's 10 % up to 20 +1 for bad beat. No free amenities like soft drinks, coffee.

I've still not come out to the new venue. Thinking about visiting some Sunday afternoon in October. What should I expect in terms of wait times? Will the 20-40 Omaha be running? The website mentions PLO: does it ever go? Where does NL begin:1-3? Is it capped? Are there any limit tables?

It's the highest rake in North America at a legal venues and gives no benefits as far as I know. There is a free drink station in the new wing of the casino but it's literally a 10 minute walk in the complete opposite direction of the poker room.

The lack of discussion of the room says all you need to know about the action among thinking players as this place should be a candy store similar to charities in 95' when hold'em was first played in Toronto.

Explain that part?

The action is really good so no one talks about it because they dont want it to be infested by euro nits or other regs from canada.

I meant more along the lines of the 1/3 game not having any thinking players beyond guys experimenting with live poker or people on a wait list for 2/5.

Well you mentioned it now. So it’ll be infested with euro parasites lol
