Default My cross Canada trip. Need advise from some Canadians....

Hey guys, Im taking a trip from Toronto to possibly Vancouver. (for sure Calgary) Im a NL holdem and Omaha player. Im wondering what card rooms are good and what suck heading west. I will be hitting the 400 North to hwy 69 and stopping in Sault Ste Marie as I hear there is a card room there. Anyone with experience with any rooms along the way Id love to know where to go and where to avoid.

Thx in advance.

After you've been in Niagara, let me know if you'll be in Hamilton for a weekend. There are a couple of games in town.

I would say no. However, you can go over the border at SSM as I hear there is some good action. Rake in SSM and TB is pretty crazy but games are stupid soft.

The places you should hit for sure are Niagra, Port Perry, Orillia, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary and/or Edmonton, Vancouver.

Since your drive will take forever, you might want to fill it in with SSM, TBay, Kamloops, and places like that.
