I will be playing at the Casino Rama Fall Classic next week. Anybody else from the forum playing?

I managed to get two seats for the WPT CPO. It was crazy at the casino as people were selling their $330 satellite vouchers for $500 plus a 10% stake, since voucher holders got priority to play in the satellite while there was a very long waiting list of people who did not even get a chance to play. When players found out that I have an extra seat, I started getting offers from total strangers, including one for $4,000.

Canadians Gavin Smith and Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier have confirmed. Read http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive...6/18/c9521.html

While playing cash games at Niagara Falls, I found out that there were only a few seats of the WPT $2700 event available for sale, so I bought one of the last seats. The casino imposed a surcharge just for using a credit card (as if everybody carries $2700 to $10,000 cash in their wallet ). My extremely diligent credit card company phoned my home number shortly after to verify the unusual transaction, and my spouse answered. I am not sure if I will be allowed out of the doghouse in time to play in the WPT tournament on Sunday....

13CARDS, what do you look like? I've been to Fallsview Casino a few times, and remember supervisors like Carlos; an older guy with a grey mustache; and a balding guy.

Agreed. There is no point in spamming our friends, since lifeofsports has no idea what he is doing.

Here is my schedule: Oct 20th: Drive from TorontoOct 21: Play in WPT satellites at Niagara FallsOct 22-24: WPT Canadian Poker Open ChampionshipOct 25-29: WPT North American Poker ChampionshipOct 30th: Televised final table of WPT CPO:Nov 25: RHPT TOCDec 7th: Fly to BahamasDec 8-10: Protege 2Dec 11th: Fly back to Toronto(obviously, all of this is subject to change)

The $1 coin is called a loonie. The $2 coin is called a twonie.I've seen the Daniel Negreanu card topper. Doesn't any of his fans here use it?

I think that is actually the original Shoeless Joe's location. They have a free poker tournament every Sunday starting at 7:15-7:45 PM. I have played there several times, including a heads up tournament where the final two won seats to a 75-person championship tournament last month. That champion won a U$10,000 buy-in to the WSOP Main Event and will be going on an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas this month!

Has it been revealed yet why Jerry and Jimmy were bribed out of the Protege Final Table?

I'd love to play with my fellow kababayan, but driving to downtown Toronto and paying for parking is too much of a pain. If it was any bar in the west or maybe even Dave & Buster's in the north, I would go.

Thanks for a great post, which many DN fans have been thinking the same way. There are a lot of immature and hateful responses, but you are entitled to your opinion and many DN fans agree with you. Hopefully, DN's GOLF blog will soon return to his POKER success at the WSOP.

Yes. For example, if you have 2-3 clubs and your only outs after the turn is a club, there is a 20% probability that you will get a flush on the river (9/46). With an $8 pot, calling a $2 bet on the turn is only 17% of the total pot [2 / (8 + 2 + 20], so it would be correct to call. If your opponent bets $6, it would cost you 30% of the pot to call [6 / (8 + 6 + 6)], which is more than your 20% odds of winning, so it is better to fold.Poker takes a lifetime to master, but until you understand the basic math such as above, you should avoid gambling with real money against the players that ca

Yes, Bergen is much better than Fidler. It's too bad that Bergen did not mention the infamous Jerry and Jimmy incidents. Maybe all the finalists were offered a buy-in to a future tournament by FCP.

There is a bar in Mississauga that has free doubleheader poker night on Fridays, including a 10 PM game. Downtown Toronto is pretty inconvenient for all us FCPers that live in the west GTA, but I'll see if I can show up at 7 PM then go back to Mississauga for the 10 PM game.

Yes, why were two finalists ejected by Negreanu? Was Jimmy an illegal immigrant? Was Jerry an illegal alien from outer space? Was the Protege promotion rigged from the start?Inquiring minds want to know!

What was Daniel's answer to this quiz? I browsed through all five pages and could not find it.

Thanks to Daniel Negreanu for a very enjoyable night of poker yesterday in Hamilton, Canada. You promised at the beginning of the night that you would get to everyone at the full bar, and you more than kept that promise. You were very gracious with the non-stop autograph and photo requests, and even those silly people that want you to talk to a total and unseen stranger on their cell phone. :roll: The bad organizers had confirmed that the starting registration time would be 5:30 PM, but after many of us drove all the way to Hamilton to get there in time, we were very disppointed that regist

How can Canadians buy this in Canadian funds without expensive shipping and customs fees? Will this DVD be available as a prize in Red Hot Poker Tour tournaments?I already won the following Daniel Negreanu prizes by winning a tournament:- deluxe poker set with a limited edition photo signed by DN- FCP hat signed by DN- FCP T-shirt- toque- gift certificate- DN card protector that doesn't look anything like DN

FCP failed to send the freeroll emails to all charter members. When I finally found out about it from another charter member, I quickly registered but stupid management rejected it for being one hour late. :evil: I will continue to gamble with the competition and will never put money into FCP unless they have another Protege freeroll for charter members.

Even though I have received email confirmation as an FCP Charter Member last year, I never received the above email. :x Since management has refused to accept my account creation that was only one hour late, how can I cancel my account? I think I will sign up with Pokerstars instead.

How many players have qualified so far? Which month will the Semifinal MTT Restricted Freeroll be held on?

Which month will the Semifinal MTT Restricted Freeroll probably be held on, e.g., April?

Same here. :cry: Does one need a special plugin or download to view it?
