Windsor Trip

Invigilator · #1 06-15-07, 10:12 PM

I thought this would be the best way to communicate with all parties.

Primary audience: RobbieRob, Nikita, Mayhem

Secondary Audience: Anyone who wants to come (and because I don't remember where everyone lives.)

Hi all,

As per our prior PM's, I looked at the calendar for a good day for a trip to Casino Windsor. I think Mayhem said early July was better, and Rob and Nikita have to make it a weekend thing.

So, I was thinking about one of the following...

1. Saturday, July 14
2. Sunday, July 15
3. Sunday, July 8

I know for certain that I am clear on these dates. Rob and Nikita, would drive down and back in the same day, or are you going to saty overnight?

Let me know what you think.

Nikita · #2 06-16-07, 12:29 AM

The 8th is out for me for sure, I work that day. The 14th and 15th are both fine I won't be working that week-end. And yeah, Rob and I will probably be only making it a day trip.

Invigilator · #3 06-16-07, 09:40 AM

Okay, so the 14th and 15th are good so far. I am thinking the Saturday is better, just in case the night goes any longer than anticipated.

Robbie Robb · #4 06-16-07, 11:25 AM

Yeah, the 14th is probably best then. That way, if it does run a little late then no one is all bleary-eyed at work.

I might be able to pop down for this, but only saturday - it's a 4 hour driver for me.

Invigilator · #6 06-16-07, 02:26 PM

Okay, we'll put down the 14th as the date. Just waiting to hear back from Mayhem

De-coder, that would be great if you could come down too!

MAYHEM45 · #7 06-16-07, 02:27 PM

14th sounds good.

I should fly up. It's a longshot, but you never know with me.

You guys should PM MathBabe too - she's certainly not on here much lately, but RR/N1k met her (and husband) last year, and they might be up for the trip as well.

Invigilator · #9 06-16-07, 10:40 PM

That would be very, very, wicked. I'll look up mathbabe and send the message.

de-coder · #10 06-17-07, 03:21 AM

She live about 2 minutes from me, but she hasn't been around much. I'll let her know about the trip.

MAYHEM45 · #11 06-18-07, 03:28 AM

Hmm, I forgot about the engineering paintball game all day on the 14th. If I meet up itll be later on in the nite, unless we can swing something for sunday.

Invigilator · #12 06-18-07, 05:17 PM

Sunday would work for me, I would like to let that call rest with our long distance travellers.

de-coder · #13 06-18-07, 05:45 PM

I think for me it would have to be saturday - come in, stay overnight, go home sunday.

MAYHEM45 · #14 06-18-07, 05:59 PM

Yeah saturday nite still works for me, as long as you old farts dont like to go to bed early, lol

Invigilator · #15 06-18-07, 07:27 PM

Yeah, but when does the "night" start for a young buck like you?

Robbie Robb · #16 06-18-07, 11:29 PM

Saturday definitely works best for both of us as well. We can come down early and stay relatively late (as in leave Windsor around 10pm or so).

Invigilator · #17 06-19-07, 12:05 AM

Let's stick to Saturday then.

MathBabe · #18 06-19-07, 09:57 AM

Hey guys;

Thanks for letting me know about this. Unfortunately I have a wedding on the 14th, but if I didn't, I would have definitely come out for this!

We took a trip to Casino Niagara earlier this spring, and if I hadn't been card dead the first two hours I would have cleaned up. The live games there are so much better than online... I had no idea.

I read on casino windsor's website that they have daily tournaments (of varying buy ins). This interested me very much considering i am not of legal age in america to play live and would like to go up some time. Has anyone ever played in these? If so, how are they? also, if uve been to casino windsor in general how is the poker there?

Invigilator · #20 06-28-07, 03:24 PM

I have played in a few. Somedays are $50 and others are $100, but I forget which. The tournament is limited to 60 people and starts around 10 am. You get 2000 in chips and the blinds start at 25/50. For the first hour, the levels are 20 minutes, and then 30 minutes after that. The top 5 or 6 are paid.

During the summer, when the schools are out (US and Canadian), there is a line up for registration. The lineup starts at 8 and the registration starts at 9. If you are in a ring game, they will pre-register you starting shortly after 8 (normally). The $50 days fill up fast.

These tournaments are Monday to Friday

SNG's start up in the late afternoon and run everyday of the week.

Stud and Omaha on demand, but there is a 1/2 (100 max) NLH game going 24/7. Last time I was there, the games were raked.

There is a higher NLH game, but I can't remembe the blinds.

We will have a few good choices for food on the 14th. There is an all you can eat buffet in the Casino that will blow your mind. It can get pretty busy there though.

There is a Keg Steakhouse down the street that is excellent. I was there the other night and nearly wet my pants over the appetizer. I promise to control myself if we go there during the trip

Robbie Robb · #22 07-02-07, 01:57 AM

Nikki & I are kinda leaning toward the casino buffet. Busy-schmusy

de-coder · #23 07-02-07, 10:17 AM

casino buffet sounds fine to me too - closer to the tables...

Oh - I better get my ass booked into a room somewhere...

Invigilator · #24 07-02-07, 11:36 AM

Good call. You are going to love the food.

Personally, I am looking forward to taking all of Mr. "Big Cash" Mayhem's chips in a SNG.

(that is, after I beat his "worm" high score)

Invigilator · #25 07-07-07, 11:40 AM

Once you know when you are getting into town, let me know. We can set up a place to meet before we rain down unholy hell on the poker room
