Windsor or Loser?

so i'm headin to Toronto, Canada for some illogical fun during the coldest time of the year and was planning on heading to Windsor on the way back. so anybody here with experience there? i did a little research and apparently their 1/2 nlh game is always going on, but how soft are the games? is it a rake or a seat fee? anybody with personal experiences they would like to share?

Starting A Poker Club at IU Bloomington

Would any of you "poker pros" might be willing to do a guest speech in the future?

Also, anybody with suggestions on what content and how to organize the poker club would always be welcome. I just want to create and be apart of a club I actually enjoy, haha.

I'm thinking off alternating every other week between like discussion/theory and live tournament play. Possibly the other way around to discuss the previous weeks poker tourney and what happened, how to improve, and have the winner possibly talk about how they won...basic stuff.

Obviously I will take suggestions on how to properly noose myself and get the fuck out. All valid suggestions.

watchin the british house of commons on cspan

and damn they are some BAs

they actually genuinely seem to care about their country

i mean the prime minister actually answering questions with thorough answers and it's enjoyable to watch

how many of these debates happen with our president....oh wait, none until they start running for president again and that's only against their opponent

Favorite Old School games

River City Ransom for NES is pretty solid, but Gunstar Heroes is prolly one of my favs

Playing online for realz

So I've been playing on Pokerstars for about 6 months now, not really getting too serious on it, just buying in $20-40 and playing around with it. The level of play wasn't as bad/talented as I expected it to be. I'm going to be honest and say I lost my first 2-3 buyins, but when I deposited $100 I did pretty well with it. The thing is, I got arrogant and played higher stakes feeling I was only winning because of my talent and not the fact that I was hitting cards.

I think that if I deposit $1,200 into my account I might be able to do well, however, I was thinking about switching it to Cake poker for the rakeback. It seems at the amount of hands I would play with the stakes I would be playing, I would stand to gain $6,700 a year from rakeback, assuming I can make it that long. That along with the $500 deposit bonus, wuold equate to a refund of over $7k, which would obviously help.

I was thinking that the $1,200 bankroll would be good for .50/1 NL 6-max games. My question to you guys on here is if that is about the right place to be playing. I would normally buy into those games with $60 and figured 20 buy-ins was an ok amount. Then again, I've never tried to play online seriously before, so perhaps you guys that have can help me out.

Also, I've never played at cake poker and was wondering how the competition is there? Any advice on what to do and what not to do when starting out? Like ways to not tilt all your money away, haha.
