#1 | | Nothing in Life is Free | $100 cap NL coming to GBH ???
Today I was at Great Blue Heron playing Omaha and the dealer mentioned to there was going to be a some new Holdem game coming within the next 2 months. He couldnt tell us exactly what it was since it is a so called secret, but woudn't say "no" if the proper game was suggest. From all the questions being bombarded at him it sounds like $100 cap NL. With the max bet being $100 at a charity casino I do believe this would be possible. Not sure of what the blinds would be but he mentioned either a rake of $7 or a session fee of $7, I am not 100% sure which one. Do you think people would be up for this? has anyone else heard of something like this?

Hello Guys
Yes, the rumors are correct. We at the GBH are gearing up to bring something different to our room. It will be a 2-5 spread limit game with a max bet of $100. The blinds will be SB $2 and BB $5 with the option to raise it to $100/ raise. It will still have the structure of one bet and three raises. We are planning to offer this game to both our Holdem and Omaha players. I am still working with the Gaming Commition on the rake, so those points have not been told to the staff yet. But the rake is intended to be player friendly. The buy-in will be a $200 min and $500 max. I will post a date on the forum as to when it should start, closer to that date. Look forward to having some of you Guys and Gals out.

Any thoughts of a 1/2 $100 cap game instead? I can't fathom how to play a 2/5 $100 cap game, as that would completely take out any mathematical aspects out of the game. I don't play the online cap games so I have no idea what the average bb cap is for those, but 20 bbs seems kinda small.

Hi guys, long time lurker, joined today. This is surprising, because I was told by one of the poker bosses that they would NEVER have NL there due to licensing issues. This is a good option for players, though I hope you still keep the limit games running there also.

This is still not true NL, it's a capped game because the Charity Casinos have a $100 bet limit. If I have $500 in fornt of me the most I can bet on each street is $100 iirc

Yes, I do understand that, but I suppose I assumed that the reason for them not obtaining the license was due to dealer training issues. Capping a bet doesn;t really solve that issue. It sounds as if you are suggesting it was never supposed to happen due to the charity status of the casino.

GBH is ok. The tables are busy on Sat. night and a 1 hour wait limit on callins is not nearly enough. Best to call ahead, check in and then plan to eat there. It's in the middle of nowhere and about a 10 min drive to the closest food/gas/coffee in Port Perry. The wait list system works exactly the same as BCC but the dealers are not vigilant in using their remote as soon as a seat empties to keep the list moving. They use BJ chips which some people like, but I don't. The padding on the rails is somewhat thin and the chairs are ok. There aren't enough drink holders so people end up fighting over them and drink tables are hard to get. The tables are at the far end of a table game only room so the noise is not bad but still not much of a dividing gap between the other table games and the poker tables. So if you are on an outside table there can be a constant stream of people walking past you. The floor staff is friendly and accomodating but the dealers range from bad to excellent. Games are hand dealt and every game has max $5 rake and also a jackpot drop. Lowest limit is 5/10.

Haha, ahh I get it. I have had this site favourited for years and visit from once-four times a month, but, I don't pay attention to the usernames though I do recall many of the posters like pokerjah, moose and Devo(if he still posts here). I basically read the trip reports from time to time, and read about Canadian poker happenings.
