Silly_11 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hey I was just at the stampede and noticed that they have a 24hr poker room. Just wondering if anyone has played there or what it's like? Might go check it out tomorrow night if I have time.....Anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
Vertigo 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I was there tonite. I didn't get a chance to sit in, but I watched my buddy's table for 1 hand. AA cracked by 82 off. I guess it is that bad...lol. But plenty of fish. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 it will be full of fish during the stampede. It is also the only poker room in calgary with a 3/6 game. the lowest you will find anywhere else is 4/8. Link to post Share on other sites
Allie 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I am playing there later today actually (Saturday)....in one of the heats for the Stampede holdem tourney - $250 buy in. Most of the room will be taken up with that....but there'll probably be a table or 2 of 3/6 going. Link to post Share on other sites

Might go check it out tomorrow night if I have time.....Anyone?yes. Its alright. Calgary has like 4 24hr poker rooms. ELbow (across the street from stampede), ABS and cash.Stampede =loose 3-6 with tons of profit potential. Tons of fish. Link to post Share on other sites
citystars 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 flushdraw people will come out in this thread...too bad I cant even play in it yet, NEXT YEAR!! Link to post Share on other sites

If that's correct it seems pretty -EV??? Link to post Share on other sites
Vertigo 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Wow. That is brutal. However, I don't think that is how it works. I think they have a certain number of heats, and the winners all move on to the final table(s). Overall, the blind structure is set up poorly and the whole tournament is pretty crappy, but I don't think it works how you think. Link to post Share on other sites
Silly_11 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Author Share Posted July 9, 2005 Yeah... I wasn't going to play in that anyway.... I figure if I even had 250 bucks i'd be at the 3/6 or 4/8 tables.... Anyone who plays post what the play is like... i'm pretty curious. Maybe I can find my way down there sometime this weekend/week. Link to post Share on other sites
Allie 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I know, it is kinda a fucked way they're doing this....but I guess they doing it this way cuz they can't accommodate 1350 people at once....so there are 27 heats of 50 people each.....winner of each heat goes to the final , but pays top 3 spots of each heat. Final 27 play at the end and are guaranteed money. It is a weird structure, but for 250 bucks I'll take a shot at 50,000. Leaving to go down there soon.....wish me luck!

Dubey 1,035 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 its the worst tournament structure I've ever seen, I won't be partaking in it. Link to post Share on other sites

It's still a pretty messed up structure though.... oh well.... Link to post Share on other sites
