Micro Niagara Trip 10/20-10/22 or so

MrWookie · #1 10-15-2006, 01:48 PM

Well, one weekend of Micro forum trips just isn't enough. With my qualifier looming and soon to be crushed, there's no better way to celebrate than drunkern-ness and gambling. Right now, JaxUp, Smurph, tehox, and car ramrod are interested in going, but anyone else in the area is more than welcome to attend. If you're in the Buffalo, Cleveland, Rochester, Toronto, Pittsburgh, or Waterloo areas, you have no excuses but to come.

I'm game for poker on any or all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We'd be playing at either Fallsview or Seneca Niagara, since Casino Niagara just doesn't sound as good as either of those. Fallsview reportedly has better games, but it's a little smaller. It's also hosting TWO WPT tournaments (the Canadian open and the North American Poker Champs) starting on the 22nd. This could be very good for game quality, good for meeting other 2+2ers (I'd stay out of the 10/25 NL game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), but bad for crowding. Fallsview is on the Canadian side. Seneca Niagara (US side) just opened up a bunch more tables, but has slightly tighter games (still loose by internet standards). Personally, I'm inclined to go to the Fallsview to start, unless perhaps we get only Americans. Then we might just go to Seneca to dodge any conversion fees (apparently the casinos are the best places to convert, btw). And if Fallsview is too crowded, it's just a hop, skip, and an anal border guard over to the Seneca Niagara. Let me know what you think, and tell me when you're making an appearance.

Lastly, pay no attention to the drunk SOB who may be posting on my acount Thursday night/Friday morning around 2 am. He's not acting in a professional capacity, although he might force you to refer to him as "Master" (in light of his newfound degree) or face consquences.

I live in the new haven area. Does this seem like a worthwhile trip considering I would have a near 8 hour drive?

Well, it'll be a good time. Not having been to Foxwoods, I can't say how the casinos stack up. There will be plenty of good poker, eating, drinking, and merrymaking, though. We'll see who else we can get to go. I think even Str8Fish had speculated about coming.

Bump! I know there are a few more people who can come to this.

I am going to be working next weekend and wouldn't be able to make the trip to Niagara.

However, I'm from Cleveland originally and would certainly like to hit up Casino Niagara when I'm home. I will almost certainly be home for a full week around Christmas and hopefully for 5 days or so, including the weekend, over Thanksgiving. I drive right through Buffalo, etc. on my way to VT so it would be right on the way. Holla.

I just blew 30% of my crappy bankroll yesterday getting hammered but hopefully I can scrape together enough money to make it out.

Is 300 bucks going to be enough including food, drink,tips etc?

Well, that depends on how high you want to play, how hot you run, and how big a balla you are [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. That should be pretty good, although I think the Fallsview low limit game is a 2/5 game, not 2/4. Seneca Niagara is 2/4, though.

My last name is Murphy so I am pretty sure I am not going to run good for my first time playing live, but to hook up even if its for a few hours is probably worth it. Just have to check with the wif to see when a good time to go is, its a day trip if she is driving probably on Saturday, if I solo I need to find a cheap room to crash in cause there is no way I can drive 3 hours play and drive back 3 hours in one day without some serious side effects. I made a cashout from UB today for 350 so that should give me 400 bucks Cdn. to work with assuming it gets into my account before the weekend.

Yeah, that should serve you well. If you're wanting to get a room there, I'd really start looking into it right now. With the tourneys there, you might have a really hard time getting a room remotely close. There's allegedly a Day's Inn or something across the street from the FV that is a reasonable place to stay on the cheap.

I'm up for it. Probably best for me would be to drive up on Friday and come back on Saturday. I'm looking to get a room, let me konw if anyone is intereseted in sharing, maybe we could get 4 people or whatever in one room to cut down on expenses (I don't mind sleeping on the floor).
