Ontario PokerPost yout home games located in Ontario. This section is for all the poker players from cities like Toronto, Kitchener/Waterloo, Kingston, Ottawa and anywhere else in Ontario!
Are the games straight? I'm not saying anything, it's just I worry about card mechanics who know how to stack the deck etc. Not like anyone would admit it if they weren't straight but has their been any history of this sort thing going on? Thanks in advance guys.
Not sure where you're at, but here in SW Ontario, every game I've been to seemed legit. More detail may have been a bit helpful.

I live in Georgetown. In Halton region. I only play online and at a casino but have just found out about these home games. So I'm just trying to figure out what's going on...lol. Seems like a nice option for me and the wife instead of driving to Brantford every time we want a live game. Btw I dig the candy machines you've got there...haha.

used to be a great 1/2 game in Georgetown at the Masonic temple; if you are playing 1/2, don't think you have to worry about the game being fixed. Its not worth the effort IMO.

Hrm, I see. I'll look around for some games. Maybe you're right. It's just the first thing I think of. Some less then moral souls trying to fleece the others. It would probably be dangerous for them though as more than one person would have something to say about it I'm sure.
You'll find more people cheating online then at a good home game. At least in KW
I'm sure you're right. I have yet to experience a real home game but I look forward to it soon. Seems like a good amount of fun. Do you find the players better than online or at a B/M Casino?

As with all things poker, it depends. You will find the same sort of mix as you would in a B/M game, perhaps slightly skewed more towards skill (unless I'm there) as the players take it more seriously than a tourist might. also, depending on where you go, you might be playing against people who have won decent sized tournies in Canada, cashed at the WSOP . . . hell, somewhere around this dump there's even a bracelet winner, not to mention a couple "knew him when" former members. Take a look around, and get yourself an invite. you'll love it.

If you end up at a game posted in this forum, you'll have a great time. I have been to most of the regular games here and every one of them has been great.
There are a decent mix of players but eveyone is very friendly.

Now I just need to figure out how to configure my HUD for these games and I'll be all set....hrmmm....
I hate to say it, but there is always one or two bad apples out there. I had problems with three people at my game. These people do not come any more. Out of the 400 players that have come through and played in my game I like the percentage. I found most people are great and honest when playing a home game and there are several good ones out there.
from my limited experience at PF home games i would the games are straight.....but with any game the odd time some one may angle shoot....but i dont see it happening much...word gets around..
