How is the mid-higher stakes action at Lac Leamy or Ottawa in general? Does 2/5 run every day? 5/10 weekends? What about PLO.
I play next to no live poker but found myself there this weekend. We managed to get 1 5/10 table going and there was a waitlist for 10/25 that didn't materialize sadly.
Room's fine, the games were great and everyone was super friendly.
So the poker room at Lac Leamy opened recently, but they've downsized it from 15 tables down to 6, and replaced the extra space with slot machines. Now you have to wait like 2-3 hours to get a seat. It's unbelievably frustrating.
I assume the casino bled money during the pandemic and so is trying to maximize revenue by dedicating as much floor space as possible to slots, the #1 money maker. Still a downright tragedy though. I wish the Ottawa/Gatineau region could get a proper poker club. The poker scene here is trash.

In town for the weekend. Go to play some poker. Brush tells me not worth getting on list as wait is 69 for 4 tables of 1-2 and 31 for 1 table of 2-5. They estimate at least 4 hours wait. Room has the 5 tables and then a ton of empty space.

Maybe put in more tables? 😆
Welcome to Ontario, where market forces in the casino industry are not a thing. Just got to wine and dine the politicians.
They removed the slots and apparently will be adding more tables in Sept. Still the same shitty brushes and dealers. They changed the call in to 3hrs instead of 2hrs. Tables open at 11am and are usually only staffing 2-3 tables on the weekends until 5pm.
