Re: On-line poker Criminal Code amendments in Candian Senate

This would seem to have no effect whatsoever on Canadians playing poker. From Bill C-23 (39th Parliament, First Session), where the bill was first introduced, the summary of the change reads:

Re: Time to clear $600 bonus at Full Tilt at 6max 50NL???

I played through the bonus nearly six months ago primarily at 50 NL (full ring). It took me about 2 full months of 9-tabling for about 3 hours a day, if my memory serves me correctly (with some 100...

Re: NL50 got myself in a sticky situation with TP & FD....

As PNLH points out, you have to have a plan when you put that $5 bet in.

If his stack was deeper (say he started with $50), I'd be pitching the hand to his raise. If his stack were a little...

Re: What is the proper way to raise?

What if you are uncomfortable speaking during a hand, for fear that your voice will go squeaky when you have the nuts? I saved myself $200 noticing that tell on someone, and lost a potential $200...

Re: Full Tilt Bonus and Rakeback?

BigBiceps:

It's a better deal at full-ring than at 6-max, but assuming that you pay roughly the equivalent amount of rake that the other players at the table pay, you get 6 cents * number of...

Re: What is the proper way to raise?

We have a betting line at our local casino, and it is definitely run as a "what leaves your hand is the bet". If you grab a stack of 20 reds and drop down five on the table and then pull the other...

Re: Big Chip Rule in Cash Games?

In the first example, if he didn't say "raise" before the chip was tossed out there, it should have been a call. Just because I have $1 chips doesn't mean I automatically raise to $5 when I toss out...

Re: List of eWallets for Canadians (#2 of 2)

I've cashed out from Will Hill via cheque. Had no problems cashing it at TD Canada Trust (aside from the crappy exchange rate that all banks give).

Re: Raise cap in NL?

Yads, is that one of the ABS casinos? You may want to have them call the River Cree and get them to explain why they dropped the cap a few months ago.

For the first year they were open, River...

Win Rate for B&M play.

The typical credo states that live 1/2 NL is supposed to be easier to beat than the typical 0.10/0.25 NL game online, but I'm getting a much higher WR/hour at live play this year than I am in online...

Re: Which Canadian Casino??

Your best bet would be Yellowhead or Argyll for a high-limit game.

Re: Which Canadian Casino??

I usually play at River Cree (Edmonton). Of course there are the ubiquitous tables of 1/2 NL and 3/6 FL on the weekend; at least those wait lists move regularly. The 2/5 NL Hold'em game has been...

Re: Party 20% up to $100, 6x bonus amount

It is possible to clear playing blackjack. As a 600xB, it's definitely -EV. When you compare that to the standard monthly 50xB that you can get for Blackjack, one would wonder why you would bother...

Re: Dell 30\" Monitor Sale

Most of the cards specified with dual DVIs, such as an NVidia 8600 GT/GTS, or a Radeon 2600 Pro, would be reasonable ($100-$160 US). Depending on what else you need it for, you could spend more ......

To me, it seems that the Grindload offer is given to you after you've proven your mettle in week 1. (Of course, I emailed Party 24 hours ago about this question, no response.)

Re: party poker grindload

From what I read, you have to grind on consecutive days to receive the bonus (starting on August 27th). Think of it like a mini-Full Tilt IronMan promotion except the number of consecutive grinding...
