Professional player, Joël promises itself magic moments in the future room of poker of the Montreal Casino. "I already see to take myself all sound money to a drunk gambler that tries to remake itself to 3 o'clock in the morning. That will be legendary!"

This morning, Joël has the pleasure to learn that the room of the Casino will count not 10, or 15, but well 25 tables of poker, this that some will do the biggest room of poker to Canada.*

The new room will be hybrid, c’est-à-dire that she will offer as much tables of poker with croupiers that of the tables of electronic poker. One knows since January that the Casino has the intention to use the automated tables PokerPro of PokerTek. These nevertheless not yet are not approved by the certification Laboratory and of verification of the devices of games, even if one rediscovers them already in tens of casinos and of cruises.

The laymen must wonder this that this room will have again, since the Montreal Casino already offers poker of the Caribbean ones, for example. As to whenever it is a question of poker in this chronicle, one speaks well Texas hold’em, by far the variant of poker more popular. The players do not confront the house or a machine, but opponents in flesh and in bones. That allows some professionals as Isabelle "No Mercy" Haberdasher – a minute minority of the players – to earn their living to the poker.

Around a table of casino poker, one rediscovers habitually two or three professionals as Joël, that wins for the moment his life while playing on internet. The professionals mix with three amateurs of good level and three tourists (or pigeons) come to obtain themselves strong emotions. The winning one more uniform is well heard the casino, that removes a percentage of bet money.

Loto-québec did not again determine his profit percentage, according to his spokesperson, John Rock Roy. It is desirable that the Casino will not be too greedy so that the room of poker becomes a must for the Ontarian and American amateurs, that will not lack to come there to play less once.

Yes, one often promised to Joël the opening of this room. The difference this time, this is that the Counsel of the ministers gave the authorization to loto-québec to offer poker with croupiers. That was the object of a first publication in the official Newspaper of the Quebec, July 4. There remains some formalities to accomplish and some preparations to do, they go good train. The formation of the croupiers is ready.

Other new good, the future room of poker will organize tournaments of poker, the game form favorite of Reemerged Angélil, what's more essential parties to money.

The date back to opening of the room of poker of the Casino again was not determined. December seems the month more probable. Of here there, the chronic poker will go to visit someone of the most beautiful rooms of poker of the world, to Paris, Amsterdam and elsewhere.

Free tournaments in the bars

Side of the numerous bars and private clubs that already offer poker, one worries well evidently entry in loto-québec scene. The ministry of the public Security did not emit any special directive for the moment. The solution is located without doubts the side of the new league of free tournaments, that will launch its activities in all legality in the month of October. More of about one hundred bars and of taverns already joined the League of tournaments of poker of the Quebec. One announces 100 000 $ in prices, furnish by backers. A good place to learn the tournament game, before going to the Casino. Ltpq. com

*According to canadianpokertour.tv. The casino To Fasten Rock in British Colombia counts equally 25 tables. Ten Ontarian casinos propose poker, but the biggest room, the one of the casino Fallsview, counts only 16 tables. A table sits nine or 10 players.
