Restart of Ontario Poker league this Sunday, March 7th, 12 noon
OK guys (and gals). The Ontario poker league has started up the league again at the new Brampton location this Sunday, 12 noon. So far only 16signed up online so the danger is that the league may fold. Can't believe that we can't get a lot more players out to this unraked, extremely well structured event. This ones a $100. buyin but I'm sure if the consensus is for a lower buying, future ones may be lower. You can sign up here and either register or voice you opinion, or both.
If you have any issues signing up, let me know and I'll register you as a guest. Let's support this or at least create some positive outlook or we may lose one of the best tournaments in Southern Ontario...
Some of the detail...
************************************************
So far only 16 have replied that they will attend this Sunday's event. These #'s are too low to keep the league going and we are in danger of folding up for good. This new spot is a testing ground for us and holds a lot of promise. If you know of someone coming that is either computer-challenged or outright defiant to reply, please submit him (or her) as a guest of your's so we can bring the #'s up a bit. The food situation is yet to be worked out, but there are plenty of places nearby, anyway.
Please spread the word:

I too would be very interested in this league. Would much prefer a slightly lower buyin though in all honesty, however, if consensus is to keep it at $100, I don't have an issue with it.
However, THIS Sunday doesn't look promising at the moment. I'll need to re evaluate the capital this week and see if its at all possible. If I can swing it, I would be there, but I can't commit until Friday at the earliest.
Now, if I should WIN Thursday night on The Hill, I'll DEFINITELY be there.

AJ, just in case you didn't realize, this is the league that was running in the Orangeville seniors center a year ago and was running in Bellwood from Aug to Jan this year. I highly recommend it. I'm pretty sure some of the buyins will be lower if it takes off. I remember it getting over a hundred players last spring.

So, that's a "No", then?
+1 to AJ's other comments. At $100.00 I'd just as soon play on the Hill. If this were a monthly thing, maybe. But I am just a poor donk starting out, not like you sharks who are flush with $$$.

Short notice for this week, however would be interested in the future now that it is in Brampton. Could probably interest a few more players for your future events. Let me know when this might be running after the March Break. Also $100 buy-in is fine any lower and not really worth the time.

Frosty, sign up on the wesite and you will get email notification for future events... You can also voice your support and preferences for buyin. I do know that the $50. buyins got lots more players... Oh, and it's not my events, I'm just passing on the info. This league was started by Curtis in Orangeville, he is up there with Zithal as a great tournament organizer.

If it can be done, I'll be there. But like I said, I won't know for sure until Friday at the earliest. If possible, please inform the organizers that I am, and I'm sure others, are indeed interested.

Seems like there is another tourney at the same location, but on the 6th of the month. Slightly higher buy-in, advertising plasma screens, cigar lounge, etc. Very snazzy flyer for the place, too . . .
