Poker in Montreal

I'm headed to Montreal next weekend for a weekend of R&R. I was wondering if anyone knew of any card clubs in the city. I know there is the Casino de Montreal, but I dont think they have a poker room. If anyone knows where I can play some cards while I am please share some info with me...

Thanks,
Beez

Unless something in the alignment of the planets has changed, you are SOL. Quebec is the only province in Canada that has Casinos but doesn't have poker. Believe it or not. I used to work with someone in the know and the reasoning is $$, cost too much for too little revenue. This of course ignores the the reality of the poker boom, but hey, Quebec excels at ignoring reality.

Closest poker is probably Turning Stone....If you do go to the Casino in Montreal, tell them you are a wealthy American with 10 friends who all want to play poker, when they say they don't have it tell them they just lost a ton of business....a couple friends and I do it regularly every time we visit one of their casinos...
