Room For Rent:
Hey guys I have a room available for rent in Ottawa (Canada) and I figured I'd try to get a poker player in before I look else where for a roommate.
Location: Basically downtown Ottawa, the specific area is called Centretown but it's a busy area.
Available: May 1st, possibly later as well
The Room: It's a typical 2-bedroom apartment that you'd be sharing with myself, so a shared bathroom, kitchen, and living room. There is no lease as it's currently month to month, and it's just two months notice if you plan on leaving. The rent is $640 a month including all normal utilities with last month's rent upfront. If you'd like to be here for just the summer that's fine but I'll likely only accept anyone staying until the end of August (or very close to it). Obviously if you want to stay longer that's fine to. The bedroom won't be furnished, but you can likely buy anything you need very close by.
Smoking: Smoke whatever you want on the balcony.
About Me: I'm a 22 year old university student (4th year), I've been in Ottawa for four years and I've always lived in Canada. I play mostly mid-stakes MTT's on stars/FTP, a bit of cash, and recently started live play as well. I've been playing somewhat seriously for about a year and will continue to do so this summer alongside maybe a couple summer classes. I'm into sports (watching, betting, and playing), partying on weekends, gym, music, hanging out with friends, but mostly poker. Definitely very easy going, clean, I lived with my previous roommate among others for 4 years with no issues.
Miscellaneous:
-Coin operated laundry in the basement
-Air conditioning
-High speed internet
-Backup internet
-No cable TV atm, but I'm willing to split it if you want it
-30 seconds from the grocery store, bus stops, bars, restaurants/fast food
The Casino: Casino du Lac Leamy on the Quebec side. There is a bus stop 10 minutes from the apartment that takes you there, always has 1/2 games running and usually a 2-5, also Tuesday and Thursday MTT's (80$) (~1800 up top) and monthly larger buy-ins. The weekly tournies are horrid structure but still very profitable, and the cash games seem pretty wild although I don't play them much. Search "Lac Leamy" on 2p2 if you want to know more.
Montreal is also 1.5 hours away and they have plenty of poker rooms along with the WPT returning for the end of April, I'll be playing a couple events there as well.

What I'm looking for:
Someone that either plays poker full-time or simply plays a lot of poker. I prefer if you be around my age but anything in the 20's is fine. I'd also prefer someone that is reasonably sociable and of course easy-going.
Thought I'd post here while I wait to get approved for the marketplace, but any questions just leave a reply or feel free to PM me.
