Vancouver, BC
River Rock, Edgewater, Cascades, etc.
Poker room in River Rock is usually busy and my usual choice.
Any Vancouver regulars on 2+2? If there's another thread my bad but I believe it's worth it's own discussion seeing as the games here are always running.
Fav room to play at in BC? Limits?

How are the Parq PLO games? I hear they often spread 3 tables of it now. Some say live PLO now is like NLH 15 years ago when most players knew nothing, every flop was 5-way, tons of action junkies, etc. Is that true?
What you just described is about 8 years out of date too. The games can be beat, but they're generally nothing like that.
damn
Do most of the players know the basics, then, like at the local NLH tables?
Depends what you consider to be "the basics"
At this point 80% or so of the players have been regulars for 5-10 years or more.
You're making comments like you expect to see the plo games of 10 years ago. Not sure why you're so out of the loop. Do you not play? Basic errors are actually something you mostly see at the 1/3nl tables, not at the plo tables. The average amount of poker experience is much higher at the plo tables.
How often do Van casinos have greater than 2/5 nlh games going?
5/10 only at Villa on weekends
RiverRock: No need to go, only 1/3 and room closes at 3am. (24hrs on weekends)
Parq: My favourite casino to go to, Nice place and environment is pleasant. Most people hate the weekends as it’s very noisy because there’s a live band but I personally do not mind it and enjoy the loud energy.
Poker wise, it’s meh. Mostly 1/3 and one 2/5 game only (there’s a must-move for a short time) Games end early and you’ll end up playing 1/3 or drive to Villa.
(PLO at Parq is very fun though! This game runs constantly)
Villa: Reliable place as there are always games and weekends will have a 5/10 running. Usually it’s just 1/3 and couple tables of 2/5. (They recently started Omaha as well)

Thanks! I played at RR like 15-20 years ago and thought it was good, or maybe the best in Van.
I've been to Parq a few times this year after Canucks games. It's always been good.
Never been to Villa. Will need to check it out.
Any mixed games action currently in the Vancouver area casinos?
No. There's NLHE and PLO. Those are your options.
Parq adding 3 more tables for a total of 13 now.
