Currently in Montreal playing poker at the playground poker club. Quick rundown.
Pros - dealers are quick and game is run smoothly
- waitresses are very hot and revealingly dressed
- have not really had to wait to get a seat at a table
- tournaments run on time
- food is excellent
- wide range of games from 1/2 nl to 10/25
- PLO up to 5 5
- dealers are all fluent in english and french
Undecided - While the waitress's are hot I have had issues with them forgetting to bring drinks etc. Possibly the $1 tip isn't enough for them to remember.
A lot of donks there, however be prepared for the suckouts that occur.
Cons - Cards mark easy and are one way.... i.e. they have the name playground poker club and if one gets turned around you could possibly know which one (not sure if I'm explaining right) but I need sleep.
- not easy to find for the first time, but once you've been there it's fine.
- some of the players throw temper tantrums when their ace's get cracked, cursing swearing gets tolerated up to a point before they tell you to calm down.
Forgot to add rake:
No flop no drop. If flop $1 to Bad beat. 10% to rake to max $8. (that was at 1/2
Time to grab some sleep I will post more later.

Nice summary Joe... So that's where you've been for the last couple of months... How long are the blind levels for the tournies?
Would love to hear some stories of interest when you get a chance.
Blind levels vary. Last nights tourney was 20 minute levels. Late registration until first break (Level 5). Todays 1 pm tourney is 15 minutes and I will be heading out shortly to play.

That 8+1 rake must really cut into your win rate.
I guess it adds up to about $45,000 a year in rake if you play regularly?
Is it worth it compared to say, $4+1 rake at Seneca? Or 5+1 rake at Niagara?

So how much time did they give you?

Hey Joe, do these clubs typically have cash games running in the day time or do they really only get going in the evening? Are there any clubs downtown or are they all on the reserve? Thanks.
I don't think there is a poker room in the Montreal casino but I don't know. This club is open from noon until 6 am. I only went to this club but I understand there is at least one more on the reserve.

It wasn't me. However I was the one who caused him to curse and swear when he made it $20 UTG got 4 callers and I called from the BB with K2 of hearts. Flop was 6 2 2. His AA got cracked.
