Grinders moving to Vancouver - Page 13 - Poker News

Maybe the 90s is ancient history for you, but it's from the early 80s for sure. If you never listen to the radio, how do you hear new songs or bands ? I had the same problem, collected a huge amount of mp3s 10 years ago of current and 90s music, played that for years. Then after a while you realise it's always the same old crap and you have no idea what has happened the last five years.

yes u got me i was born in the early 80's knew the walk man was old but wasnt quite sure... guess i couldve done a quick google. as for new music, i have friends who are quite knowledgable re music and you tube is also great for this. i did say i hit up the radio from time to time. in short i GO LOOKING for music i like not wait around to hear something bleh on the radio. but 70% of my music collection is pre 90's when all the good music was made.

My wife and I went to Burgers, etc. and found it little better than Burger King. BBQ sauce tasted like Arby's sauce. Burger tasted like 80% chuck, 20% cardboard. The sauteed onions were good.

don't think I saw you there Soho, I was there 9 pm - 1 am.

Bought in for $200 and ran it up to about $700 but a couple coolers and one bad call later I left up only $20

still a win but feels like a loss

Minus zero I think I saw you on my way out, only there an hour, if it was you we've played together before (bees on the back of your shirt playing @ the table with those other young kids by the far wall from the desk?, seat 3)

If that was you I'll say hi next time I see you; if you feel like guessing you defo saw me watching your table tonight for a couple hands, I've played like a donkey against you and talk a ****on @ the table.

Edit: was there for an hr down 600, my new fastest loss record 2 people sucked out on my hard ftw

Hi, I do things in Vancouver. I'm easy to spot, I'm usually the guy that looks more ******ed than everyone else in the vicinity and I'm often drinking by myself and sometimes crying at the Roxy #bestclubinvancouver #feelfreetosayhi

also i agree burgers here arent very good, just make your own imo
where vancouver food shines is in the multi cultural aspect (mostly asian,some indian etc) and seafood

Ok so going to actually try and plan this, anyone interested in a drinking night later this week (sometime Wednesday-Saturday) starting at like 8 or 9 somewhere DT? Ideas for venues would be great as I always end up in my same watering holes (which would work, but new places are fun).

If your interested reply w/ which days you would prefer and Ill get a list going. I'm partial to Wednesday or Thursday, but thats just me most likely.

Question for Vancouverites.

Is the RiverRock poker room at the same place it was last year during BCPC? I liked it better when it was in the casino, upstairs. Also, having the higher limit games in the bar area kinda sucked.

What did you guys think of the fireworks that happened last week? I'm sure a lot of you were like WTF is going on after it was going for it's 2nd and 3rd time.

how is that a bad thing
