Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
I was contacted by KnifeParty11 in regards to finding a baller house/penthouse to live in for a year or so with a bunch of 2+2ers. I haven't discussed it in a ton of detail with him, we're just throwing ideas around. Basically what we'll be looking at is:
a) A 4+ bedroom house or penthouse somewhere in either Montreal or Vancouver. Location is seemingly debatable. My only preference is that the city population is > 1 mill and its a coastal city. b) Rent could be reasonable if the place is balla enough, but we're capping it at probably 1500 a person (thats CAPPED. Realistically, probably around 1k per person) c) You must be good at poker. We want people that can contribute to hand discussions and motivate each other. d) You musn't be socially awkward. Seeing as i'm 21 and knife is 20, we'll probably have a lot of parties. I guess you should also be relatively young. e) Financially responsible. I know we're all gamblers here so take that with a grain of salt. If you're a degen, thats probably fine, but please nobody who is taking shots at limits with their entire bankrolls. Here are some examples of places we've been looking at Location #1 - Montreal - rent $1150 a month/person 6 bedroom house, $6,900 monthly, indoor pool, freaking huge lot http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_bi...5-pri01-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...5-cui05-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...5-ccp15-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...5-ccp16-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...5-div08-01.jpg Location #2 - Vancouver - rent $1333 a month/person 6 Bedroom MANSION in west van, 8,300 square feet, 7 bathrooms, home theatre room, on private cul-de-saq (parties), $8,000 monthly. http://images.craigslist.org/0101080...622f008658.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/0101120...cbf000d136.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/0101000...6fc4007138.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/0101050...8e0a00d4ea.jpg Location #3 - Montreal - rent $625 a month/person Penthouse, 2,400 square feet ([censored] huge for a condo), ROOF TOP TERRACE!, $2500 a month http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...6-hal08-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...6-sal15-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...6-cui04-01.jpg http://www.remax-quebec.com/photo_al...6-div17-01.jpg Location #4 - Montreal - rent $975 a month/person Air Conditioned, 4 bed 4 1/2 bath, castle lookin ballarific, 2 car garage, $3900 monthly http://images.mls.ca/listings/reb5/m...0/13349501.jpg http://images.mls.ca/listings/reb5/m...0/13349502.jpg http://images.mls.ca/listings/reb5/m...0/13349503.jpg http://images.mls.ca/listings/reb5/m...0/13349505.jpg ---------------------- CONTACT INFO I know this thead will probably stir up a lot of curious people. Please reply to the thread if thats the case. However if you are more than curious and are actually SERIOUS about this, and meet the above requirements, give knife an email at knifeparty11@hotmail.com please don't bother with pming. Thanks |

Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
sounds pretty cool...rent in montreal looks to be pretty cheap. that penthouse is way nicer than the one i rented in van for the same price.

Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
what time frame are we looking at here?
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
id consider it. i pay a $1k/month atm for just a room, but its central london
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
this sounds [censored] awesome quick question tho why is toronto not an option!??!
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?

Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?

Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
#2 would be my pic...although montreal is a wicked city. I would be interested but more likely next yr cuz im still signed up for uni for september. Im 21 and i def have the poker skill n bankroll to do this.
btw are there any good 2+2er's living in london, ontario? |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Awesome. I always liked the idea of "poker pad".
I am moving to UK (Bournemouth) for the purpose soon. |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Always wanted to do something like this ala CTS and the Hermosa gang. September is too early for me though so I doubt I'll be able to do it.
Interior of the second place is sick btw, super bright. Not sure if that's a good thing but it looks nice regardless. I like the simplicity of location three though, but it's not really balla either. Meh, they're all good except I can't tell much at all about location 4 except it looks ok but all the important rooms are missing. Since I won't be able to get into this one I'll probably start a similar thread in a few months. Not limited to Canada though, I could do UK, Australlia, etc depending on who applies and everything else that would be relevant. |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
man canada is cheap
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
also note that i said anytime AFTER september 1st. Could be october or whatever. We're just pitching ideas around right now

Yeah time frame wise we're aiming for October 1st
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?

|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
My favorite is location 3, it has 3 floors and it's actually 2 appartments built into one - it's also a roof top location right beside Mcgill college
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Heh. I arrive in vancouver tomorrow. And I've done this thing before.
But im torn... i was planning on renting for a few months and then getting my own house. |

This is some good idea. I'm interested. Vancouver #2 is sick.

Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
there's a chance i'd be up for this, but pretty sure im gonna move out of country.
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
I will totally consider this if in Toronto. I have a business project about to start up and being in Toronto would be an advantage for that.
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Btw...the 2nd place is unfurnished. No point moving in somewhere and then having to buy all the furniture etc
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
wow [censored] sick
i would be so into this if i lived in canada |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
this is $US or $CAN?
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Wow that sounds like a good idea. I currently live in Quebec city and would really be interested in this, especially if in Montreal. Im leaving soon in Europe for about a month..I'll sure contact you guys after that or during my trip if possible.
|
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
as it stands now i prolly can't do this beacuse i'm in school and already have a place in downtown toronto, but this sounds [censored] awesome and i would definately be down if it happend again in a year or two. you guys should definately look into soom stuff and get some listings in this thread for TO, sick city all around...for anything that you would ever want to do. van and mtl are sick as well tho.

this is $US or $CAN? [/ QUOTE ] $CAN - but the canadian dollar is pretty close to the US dollar these days so its sort of irrelevant |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?

wow [censored] sick i would be so into this if i lived in canada [/ QUOTE ] move to canada foo [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
The penthouse in Montreal would probably be the best option, its close to everything.
I'd not 100% sure but I have a feeling the two Montreal houses are 20-25 mins from downtown. |
Re: Medium Stakes off topic: Baller poker pad in canada, Interested?
Just want to remind you guys, that listed prices are very negotiable. You'll be suprised but normally you end up paying 80-90% of the listed cost without much hassle.
Another thing is when you say $975 each you should actually not average it, but base it on the size of the rooms/quality/view/bathroom, etc. B/C if your getting a 6bedroom and the guy with the master is paying $1333, and the guy with the small maids room is paying $1333, that blows. |

[/ QUOTE ] Agreed, you mentioned good points. Right now we're still in the development stages where we just have to find the right people, once that's settled we can work out the details amongst us - but you made a good point about the prices |
