For renting an apt? Depends on if u want it furnished or w/e. The avg priced for 1br furnished apts in downtown was around 1600-1700. 3k/month would prolly get you a really nice 2 br fully furnished in the heart of downtown.

[BrookTrout]

Sorry, was basing it on what you mnetioned in the OP, maybe I misread, thought you were paying 3k and was hoping for some pictures of a really nice place... Best of luck again, hope the law changes soon and you don't have to deal with Toronto in Jan just to work.

ahhh. ty.


My apt is 1750/month. I'm in the 10 floor of a high rise right off the lake. Has a great view, and is in a nice area, love it. Its a nice place, but its not "baller".

if people want i can post some pics later, but its no biggie really.

Congrats on the scores. think im just gonna move somewhere warmer after the holidays.

[Protential]

Today was sickkkkkkkkkkkk. I started off with final tabling 2 35 180's, then i took 19th in a 33c, 26th in the 44turbo, 30th in the big 8. While this was going on i was building a nice stack in the Big 109, not long after i hit in the money in it i joined a 109 turbo. (note:When i started to get deep in the big 109 i stopped adding 180 tables so i could focus on it, so my 180 volume today was lacking.)

I ended up chopping the 109 turbo (about 400 runners) for $6300 with a friend of mine, and then i took 4th in the big 109 (about 1080 runners) for $7800. My first 5figure day since i've gotten back online (and top 3 for my most profitable days ever)!

[skater3598]

gogogo! glad to be off the live cash grind i assume?

[yougotG0T]

that's quite a gross day you had there. nj

[juicestain100]

Been at it for less than a week and already made more money than someone makes in a year on min wage. sick life

[3nigm4]

Was railing you on skype today, absolutely sick day. Congrats!!!

[TheChamp11]

nice job. How's life in Toronto? Thinking of moving to that area this summer for 3-6 months..

[3nigm4]

Hey The Champ,

I live in Toronto, so I can speak a bit a bout it.

It's definitely a lively city. I think if you pick a nice place to live, it'll be worth your while. Downtown is stupid expensive IMO. If you get somewhere decent near the beach or so, and roughly 15 to 20 mins from downtown. It will be ideal. The summer here is pretty good. A lot of events here, clubbing scene is pretty nice, hopefully the blue jays put a better team on the field haha, but its definitely a busy city as well. If you want to discuss where a good area, or even a value added area to find a place, I'll gladly be happy to discuss with you.

Congrats Ryan, told you that you'd do great when you moved out. Im happy for ya and also, its even more of a reason to get my $$$ situation under control and maybe come out to canada too so i can play on stars.

Its not a coincidence you and 2 other friends of mine had 20k+ jumps since black friday, theres so many sharks missing in the big mtts we play, and you are now capitalizing on it... wish i could , i am positive ill have the scores too- just gotta get up there- awesome day today you will have many many more!
