| Point Edward - Sarnia Cash Games?
How are the cash games now at Point Edward?
Any 20-40 and up?
Will be there end of March for their week of tournaments and would like to know if there'll be any good side game action (hoping more then just 10-20).

What are the details for Point Edward's upcoming tournaments? I could not find any information on the net about OLG casinos' tournaments, as usual.  Quote:

The only times I've been there only two tables of $5-10 LHE, on a Wednesday night.

I think Sarnia has great staff and dealers, but just no games. Last year I was at the there for tournament week there was only one night they got a 20-40 going and the rest was all 5-10 and 10-20. I spent more time in the strip clubs then the card room because of that.

I grew up in Sarnia, now living in Vancouver.
When I was there it was almost always exclusively 5-10 limit hold em, and it was the same 10 or 15 gloomy old guys playing it over 1 or 2 tables.
With that in mind, I was just informed by an old friend that Sarnia will be getting 1/2 nl in the near future. That might make for a little more action with a little more regularity.
And Smooth, please let me know what you thought of our strip clubs, cause I remember them being about as gross as any place could be.

The strip clubs weren't of the high end calibre but a couple hotties from the T.O area were dancing there and they made it a fun time. Can't get into too much detail since its not appropriate for this forum  | |

To SMOOTH55 & anybody else going, which hotel are you staying at? Point Edward is a 5-hour round-trip drive for me. If I can find somebody to share the costs of the drive & motel, I am considering staying overnight on March 27 & 28 to play in the $300+30 and up to two $600+50 events. One motel has a rate of $68/night with "stay & play" gambling bonuses.
The event information was not easy to find out, but Point Edward is using the same OLG format as Casino Brantford's +$EV events. You get 5,000 starting chips with 30-minute blinds. The Patience Factor is 9.1 and the Skill Level is 5.
The first $150 (not $100) event on March 25 is sold out. There will continue to be satellites during the week. The Tuesday-Friday tournaments start at 4 PM, while the weekend tournaments start at noon, including the Sunday finals. The fee/rake for the $650 events is 10%.
If anybody has questions, the casino's phone number is 1-888-394-6244 and you can also post the information. Is STR82ACE, The_Game or anybody else interested in hosting a home game satellite? Quote:

Blondefish - I'm almost certain the first tournament is $100 + $15 admin fee. I've already registered and they've taken the money from my cc. The second is a $300 + $30 admin fee.
I'll be staying at the Best Western down the street - less then 3 mins from the casino - $110 internet rate with taxes (I don't mind paying a bit more as they have high-speed internet, just in case I bust out and there's not bigger cash games I can play online at least). There is also a holiday inn right next to the casino but its about $10-$20 more/night.
Would love to meet any forum members there who are going.

This would be absolutely amazing because I am only about 45 min away from Sarnia and I would definitely start playing regular in that game.
I was under the understanding that charity casino rules had a max bet rule of $100 for all games. This is the reason NL has never been offered. I wonder if it will actually be a CAP NL game.
Do you know anything else about this dino?

I grew up in Sarnia. Check out the Drawbridge Inn. $55 a night usually. It is about 5 mins from the casino.

Do you know anything else about this dino? | Sorry I don't know anything further. I live in Vancouver now, but still talk to friends back home, and I couldn't get anything other than it was going to be offered.
As for hotels, the holiday in and the Best Western are literally next door to each other, so there is virtually no difference in distance to the casino. The Holiday also underwent some big upgrades in the past couple of years, so it may be nicer.
Sarnia is a bit of a dive sometimes, but there are some decent places to hang out. Check out Ups and Downs, a British style Pub on Front street, and for a pretty cool eatery check out Lola's on Christina street.
PokerDro's advice on the Drawbridge Inn is also decent.

I'm Thirty, and went to SCITS. Was pretty involved in Skateboarding as a kid down at the old Harry Turnbull park.
