Fallsview @ Niagara Falls TR
Went to Niagara Falls recently to do the tourist thing and played some canadian 5/T. I think 5/T doesnt run as frequently and in as many places in canada as in the states so im glad NF had some going on when i went.
This is Fallsview, one of the two casinos on the Canadian side of niagara falls. This one is newer and spreads higher limits 2/5 NL and up. The other one is casino niagara and it only does 1/2, I didnt go because parking is like $20 if you dont play anything there. That's tourist trap for you.
Never figured out what this installation piece in the lobby is supposed to be, but it was kind of cool looking.
Shoepr0n. I didn't bring enough clothes on the trip so had to get some shopping in. I dont know how i ended up in a shoe store while looking for clothes though.
Rainbow over the horseshoe fall (which is the bigger of the two falls)
NOT a bragworthy chippr0n BUT let's call it a nice... souvenir?
Pretty good hourly after a 4.5 hour session before dinner.
Their comps for poker suxx - well actually non-existent. You basically get comped free parking for playing, which is otherwise $5 lol.
Otherwise the game was pretty good. it was mostly regs BUT rec regs which makes the game soft enough. Everyone buys in for the full 2k, and since I only started playing 5/T recently I was buying in a bit short at 1.5k. The players know each other pretty well, which makes the game more relaxed and enjoyable. The whole time I was there, there was only one pro who was better than me and by a large margin, but I was on his left the whole time and we didnt get into any big pots
.
Lost my spot on the 3-page call-in list after dinner, fk this letz go drinking instead. Went to the R5 lounge in the casino gallaria with a view of the falls (the mist from the falls can be felt all the way from the balcony).
I am just so thankful for poker allowing me all these opportunities to travel whenever I have time. There's pretty much no other part time job that gives you that flexibility to go to that many places whenever you want and still make money at the same time. Stay tuned for more poker TRs to come! :d
