Hey guys...

I've talked to Darrell at RiverRock and he's open to the idea of us having a
game. There are some roadblocks preventing us from playing any Hi/Lo games (not
the casino's fault) and Razz and TD aren't approved in BC... whatever!!!

Anyway, he's willing to get some dealers tuned up for us to put this mixed game
on.

Here's the deal. It'll be 8-handed. We'll play 4 games in 8-hand rotations.
$5/10 HE, $5/10 Omaha, $2/5 NL HE, $5/10 Stud ($1 ante/$2 Bring in). The blinds
for the community card games will be $2 and $5 thoughout the day. It'll start
at noon on Sunday, May 1st (I checked!) and we'll keep it going as long as we
like.

I told Darrell that I'd get a list of interest together for him to let him know
that we're serious. Could you please post below and/or email me at kincaid at
z95 dot com so that I can send him a list of interest. Then, he'll be more than
happy to make sure it comes together. Like I said, the game will be kept
8-handed, so let me know and be there as close to noon as you can be.

Big rule: no being an asshole if the dealer misreads a hand. We're playing
under the pretense that we're there to have fun with a new game.

Good stuff. See you there.

We can't have a tournament for legal reasons. (???)

Ah, another post about a Vancouver game at the RiverRock Casino. Since
Vancouverans (ites?) will be reading this thread, let me axe ya'll a
question or two.

I have been in Vancouver a few times, and I thought it was the cleanest
city I had ever seen. Anyway, how is the poker there compared to
elsewhere? It seems that the highest limits are 20-40. They don't seem
to have pot limit like there was 10 years ago (Lumberman's).

What else is the area good for, things to do etc.?

Would you suggest living in the city, or the suburbs or townships, or
whatever you call them?

What is the best company to get cable, or satellite TV? How about
internet? I think there are limits to how much you can download for most
internet providers in Vancouver, except one called Tellus, or Primus. Is
that one good, and do I have to live in certain areas to get service from
the better (best) ones?

Well... Vancouver is breathtaking for scenery.  We have mountain, ocean, plains,
etc... the golf here is exceptional and you can drive in any direction for a
great golf weekend out of town.  Not to mention the fact that you can golf all
year.

You can also go skiing on one of three local mountains within 30 mins of the
city.  Or you can go big and hit Whistler.

Vancouver has beaches to play on and bake on.  It has coastal rainforest to
explore.  It has burried treasure.  It has some of North America's best
restaurants. 

Vancouver has the hottest real estate market running in Canada right now. 
It's also a quickly growing city.

It has a race track (which is inhibited by the gov't) and a wicked drug
problem.  It has the worst road system in the known world with an even worse
public transit system.

It doesn't snow in Vancouver... much.   It gets really hot in the summer.  You
can get to a Mariners game in 3 hours and pass no less than 5 easy poker games
each way.  But the thing that keeps me in Vancouver is the hoards of really
terrible poker players. 

Having said that... don't move here.  The taxes are retarded and they only want
to hear from you if you are a burden to society and have nothing you will
offer.  Vancouver is a city of mooches... for now anyway.  Honestly, they
give... GIVE.... PRESCRIBE heroin to addicts.  Yeah.  It's called the NAOMI
Trials.  It isn't working.  Prescribing heroin.  I have a gambling problem...
are they going to prescribe me money.

Bass-Ackwards town, Vancouver.  Visit often.

Gotta disagree with Kincaid on a some points...the downtown Eastside
has the highest concentration of homeless, Hep-C, HIV and drug addicts
in north america, but we're talking a few square blocks; there are lots
of great areas. it's a great town with one really sick neighborhood.
it's got diversity... demographically, geographically.... AND
superstitious, luck oriented poker players. In the spring, you can so
skiing, and suntan on the beach on the same day, for crying out loud.
top that.

The public transportation isn't as good as a grid city, for obvious
reasons.. bridges, housing halfway up the mountainside, etc... it takes
a long time to get to the sprawling suburbs... but we have a skytrain
(light rail, rapid transit).

Real estate is booming; there are condos going up everywhere... good
for job creation but means that it's expensive to live here. Still not
as expensive as Seattle though.

Shaw Cable is the default cable provider for most of the city, and
their net service is great. I live out in a suburb and am serviced by
dccnet.com. Best ISP I've ever had... essentially zero downtime, and
full -speed bandwidth available pretty much all the time. no limit on
usage, same with Shaw.

I think people here go to sleep too early... the city has a relaxed
vibe....yet people aren't as friendly in passing, as other places...
strangers don't say hi to you, but if you're a regular someplace,
you'll fiind the people pretty easy-going.

p.s. look forward to hooking up with RGPers sometime... not this
month; I'm pretty broke.. I didn't lose at poker, but needed my roll
for real-life expenses (oh yeah.... those...) look forward to an
outing report from the RGP game.

You're bang on about the people not being friendly.  I moved here from Calgary
when if somebody looks the least bit lost, it's a foot race to help that
person.  In Vancouver you get pepper-sprayed for greeting somebody at a bus
stop.  (Hyperbole)

You're also right about the bedtime here.  Why do I have to scour the city for
food at midnight?  (Beyond sliced pizza)

Will you be joining us for the mixed game on May 1st?  That's next month,
right!?!
