Niagara

[20Buyinsatleast]

Has anyone been to niagara?

I would appreciate some general advice about this place as I am going this week.

[smbruin22]

i went a week and a half ago... hope this is helpful but don't take it as definitive....

played fallsview.... alot of 5/5 no-limit, capped buyin at 500. minimum i think 200... some 2/5 NL, but capped at 200 (yuk, avoid)... 2-5, 5-10, 10-20 limit but only table of each.

mostly 5/5 no-limit.. and i personally haven't found the action there good the last three times i went (over long period, mind you)...

i think casino niagara is smaller $$$$ in general, and mostly or all no-limit.. people at my table complained of lack of action there.

as i said, i hope you find it helpful, but don't take it as definitive.

oh yeah, at fallsview you can ahead (and they don't seem to care about a large time gap)...... i don't have phone # in front of me.

From the last time I was there a few months ago...

Fallsview
----------
$5/$5 NL ($200min - $500max)
$5/$10 NL - not sure of the min and max
$5/$10 Limit

You pay a $6 fee per 1/2 hour instead of rake.

Casino Niagara
--------------
$1/$2 NL - not sure of the buy-ins
$3/$6 limit

Seneca Niagara (US Side)
------------------------
$1/$2 NL
$2/$5 NL
$1-$5 Stud - This was the only thing I played there so I am unsure of buy-ins or what other games they had.


The $5/$5 NL game at Fallsview was vegy LAGgish.

Good luck!

Seneca or Fallsview?

Seneca ownz Fallsview. Easier to get a seat, more fish and free drinks. Free parking, too!

i've played at seneca several times. good poker room. lots 1-2 nl and 3-6 limit. the game i love there is 3-6 omaha 8 with a full kill. the game goes friday and saturday nights (only time ive been there) and it is awesome!!!

everything but the fish comment is true. But it depends on how you see things.

Fallsview - the "fish" are aggro and trying to give money away by putting there stacks in as fast as possible. But you need to buckle up.

Seneca - more losse passive types , with some donks trying to give it away.

Also what game are you playing, these are generally hold true for all the NL games the opponents get a bit more agro as you move up the limits at seneca and ALOT more at Fallsview (doesnt mean they got good hands they just like to PITTM)

The Limit games are donktastic in either casino but none go higher then 5/10 (sometimes a 10/20 at flassview )

FWIW I play there everyweekend or every other weekend (including this one)

mrkilla (and others), thanks!!

yeah, that's my experience, some dead games at niagara and some crazy, stupid games (which ishould be good, but not sure i have the stomach or the bankroll and very hard to know where you're at - loose, passive as per ed miller's book are so easy to beat. i realize ed's SSHE is limit not no-limit)

when i was there two weeks ago, they had an excellent 10/20 limit table going... seemed like everyone could afford the limit and a few donators (also, some off-duty dealers or casino mgmt types from from elsewhere, my guess only, who were somewhat loose pre-flop but very good post-flop)... anyhow, this 10/20 limit was great by almost every criteria (people were very enjoyable). do they run it more often now? i'm going to make sure i start a list for it next time i'm there.

I agree with every statement that you've just made. I should have gven my definition of "fishy" in how i meant it. What I meant is, is that it's easy to double/triple up quickly there because a lot of those people over value their TPTK or OESD's.

FWIW, i havent been to any casino in a while, let alone to play poker. I just havent had the time to do it. However, now that winter is coming, Im sure ill be there more often.

Give a donk at 1/2NL a pair on the board and a flsh draw and nine times out of ten you can stack them.
