Hey,

The biggest and best poker room is at River Rock casino in Richmond, which is near the airport and just south of Vancouver. Here is a link to a Vancouver area poker site called 604 Poker.

Cheers

I would like to add my 1.5 cents and endorse River Rock in Richmond. The 1-2 and 2-5 NL games are absolutely sweet. 10-20 is also good and the automated wait list and low staff:customer ratio are all good.Even the food is OK. I've decided I hate the Holiday Inn becasue I got sick and tired of bashing heads with the same ten clowns every month. Those guys need to take a cab down to Richmond. If you do play the Holiday Inn, the 10-20 Kill game is not bad but you'll have to stand on the gas or they will run you over. I've gone from $500 to $100 to $1,200 in two orbits on that game. It can be some fun.

There was a whole table of us talking about the insane Vancouver games while I was in Vegas recently. The no limit action is attracting players from far away. It's the same in Calgary and it has a lot to do with culture. Let me put it this way; Richmond is where most of the Chinese-Canadian citizens move because the name of the city means Rich Man. Favorite line I heard last time I was there: "Never fold 8...very lucky." Alllllrightythen.

The cruise ships all have little casinos with the usual table games but I have not heard about any of them spreading poker yet. When they do they can count on major objections from the wives. It's one thing to lose me to a blackjack table for an hour. It's another to spread a 20-40 game all night just before we pull into Glacier Bay where my wife would be watching ice by herself while I slept on the deck. Not a nice scenario. Ugly. Send lawyers, guns and money.
