Hey fellas, so i went with my family who's visiting us from europe to the Falls, i had a really great time there. I also decided to go play some live since there are two casinos near the Falls, niagara casino and Fallsview Casino.
After dinner, i decided to go there solo since my family doesn't like much gambling and think im an addicted gambler and i'll prove them right this night lmao. My grandfather was a sick gambler and would spend all his paychecks on games and marijuana so my mom is strongly against gambling and smoking for obvious reasons. So i went to Niagara Casino since it was the one closer to my hotel and i didn't want to make a 30 mn walk to reach the Fallsview, first let me tell you that casino is not really great, you have to look for the entrance for 15 minutes before you find it and inside, it's just plain ugly.
I registered for cash games and got assigned a seat 45 minutes later -_- i put my stacks on the table and the dealer tells me the maximum buy-in is 100$, "isn't that 1-2$ no limit ?" i said and he told me yes but the maximum is 100$. Good start. So i put the rest of my chips in my pocket and post the bb, This was the first time i was playing with real cards and chips (im from Montreal we have only electronic tables) so i was kinda knew in things you could and you could not do.
I quickly noticed this table was sick juicy, there was that retarded aggro drunk guy on my right who was ordering beer after beer and was here obviously to spend his money gambling, great i was here to make money. On his left and to my right was this old dude, he had white hair and a white beard and was smelling like shit, he was probably running something like 85% vpip 25% pfr and would stack off with mid pair all the time. When he reloaded (every 2 hands) he would get a big stack of bills worth probably 4-5k$ from his pockets. When i saw the money i almost had a boner. There was this guy seating on my right who was half decent but it looked like a suffered some beats and was complaining/berating the drunk guy. The rest of the tables was 2 tight weak fishes, 1 obviously young internet player and the other seats were changing consistently.
It was a sick juicy game,the first playable and came 30 mn after i sat, i got AKo UTG+1, the half decent dude raised and i 3 bet him, the young internet player called me IP. Flop came 457 rainbow, the utg checked and i decided to fire a cbet, the young guy folded and UTG called, T hit on the turn, he checked i checked. An other 7 hit the river and paired the board, he checked and i push my remaining stack announcing im all-in, i put him at the moment on 66/45s or a combo draw. I thought he would never check the turn with an over and he started moaning about the board pairing and i knew when he said that my bluff would go through (remember it's only 50 bbs, i pushed for pot and he was getting 2 to 1). He folded and i took the pot.
Later on the next playable hand i get is AQo, Santa Claus (the old stincky guy, they called him Santa because he had a white beard) raised and i 3bet him, he was raising a lot of garbage, i got 1 caller and Santa called oop obviously, flop came Q35 rainbow. Santa donk lead and i 3 raise him, the other guy folded, Santa called (obv), turn is a 6, Santa has 50$ behind and checks to me, i push and he insta-calls me. He showed Q4, river is a 7. Standard bullshit, doesn't bother me that much and figured i would have many occasions to take his money.
So i reloaded to 100$, i get dealt rags and i don't know if it's everywhere the same but the dealers were extremely rude. One of this faggot wanted to give me a warning because i was speaking french with an other guy at the table who happened to be from France, i remembered i should only speak english while a hand is played but he could have told me gently, cocks sucking faggot. The dealers were changing every 30 minutes (dunno if it's standard or what) but many of them were very rude and would berate me even when i told them it was my first live game. "Don't put your cards behind your chips", and so on, i was starting to get really pissed by them and promised i would tip the minimum for the rest of the night.
Also they were urging the players to make their plays, and even one dealer called the clock on one player who had a hard time in a hand calling for his stack, WTF ? YOu guys tell me if it's standard or if it's BS i have no clue, but i hated it. I had to make a sign to them so they could give me 30 secs to think about a hand, i mean what the F is that ? Anyway i get dealt crap for 2-3 hours, missing sets std hands until i get dealt KK.
An EP weak fish opened and the guy i bluffed off from my first hand called, i swear to god i heard "Raise to 20$" from the dealer so i repop to 60$ and they were all looking at me stangly, in fact he raised to 12$ and they both insta-folded, i could not make it more obvious fuck me.
Nothing happened until i get dealt 88, 2 limpers already in and i decided to limp also, Santa called. Flop came 68T, check, check i bet 2/3 of the pot, Santa called and EP called, turn is a J. I bet, santa raised me and EP called, back to me. It was 3 am and it was like the 4th hand i played, after reflexion it was an easy fold since this guy cold called and the board was heavy connected pot but i fished myself into pushing putting Santa on two pair or something dumb and this EP guy on TP or something stupid (he just joined the table so i had no reads on him). They both snap-called me, Santa had 79o for the flopped str8 and the EP guy had 9Q, river didn't pair the board and my stack was gone, yeehaa !
I should have kept playing since it was really juicy but it was real late and the 50 bbs rule + the dealers were annoying as hell, so i decided to go back to the Hotel. My mother asked me how much i've lost the next day and when i said 200$, she looked at me like i was a pedophile and a loser, that was hilarious tho...
So if you guys are visiting the Falls and decide to play some live poker, i strongly don't recommend you go at Niagara Casino, this is one piece of shit place to play Poker if you ask me. Next time i go there i'll go to Fallsview.
------------------------------------------
Oh on a side note, online is going terribly bad, i think i dropped 20 bis at NL50 and i tilt a bit, which is weird since i didn't tilt for a couple of months and i think im really running like uber shitnitz. Hopefully it will turn around soon, /cross fingers.
Good luck at the table guys.

yeh... niagara is pretty terrid, but u didnt even play the SNGs which are like turbo turbo PS sngs, where u start on the 5th level....
the 50bb rule is pretty retarded and the 30 min dealer changes are so slow
they count out all the money on the table in front of the pit boss every half hour....
the dealers are pretty rude too, the first time i played live poker, i was talking to some guy beside me about like, life in general, and the dealer snapped at me all pissed off 'DONT TALK DURING A HAND' and looked at me all shocked like........

I went to play at casino niagara during the civic holiday and I had a great time. Granted I never go to play live on a regular basis and it was out of my bankroll but I just decided to treat myself. The 50bb rule is dumb but I guess it encourages action and they get to take more rake. Never encountered any of the rudeness from the dealers that you guys described for the most part except when I had to take a phone call and they were dealing hands and the dealer kinda signaled me to get back to the table since I was just like two steps away. I never got the clock called on me but then again most of the time they were folding so I could rake the pot. =)
Sheitan is right though, the games are really juicy and the table is filled with just limping donkeys. I had a guy donate 600 bucks to the table in a span of 2 hours. It was awesome cause he donated one of his stacks to me. =D Fallsview is nicer but they start at 2/5 and I don't have a bankroll to even attempt at playing that high sadly. Casino niagara is for the low limit players and the tourist that want to "give the live poker a try".
You shouldn't have told them it was your first time playing live cause that's why they treated you like a nub. |
