Default Poker Rooms in Ontario?

Hi All, new to the group. Read some interesting posts.
I was wondering if there was anyone who knew of any card rooms in Ontario. The ones I know of are Casino Rama in Orillia (to which I've been), and Great Blue Heron in Port Perry.

Does anyone know of any others? I've checked the Pokerpages.com directory and that's where I got the Great Blue Heron listing.

Also, does anyone have any experience with the Great Blue Heron? I play a lot of .50/$1 and 1/2 on Ultimate Bet and do pretty well when I play the $4/$8 table at Casino Rama. What level of play does GBH hit?

The only other one I know of is in Brantford (Brantford Charity Casino). They have a really nice poker room with 12 tables, and they spread 5/10, 10/20, and 20/40 holdem. Usually pretty soft games, too. I've found that the 5/10 in Port Perry is probably around .50/1.00 on UB... softer than 1/2 for sure. Brantford is about the same.

I think the 5/10's in Brantford and Port Perry are about the same as the 4/8 at Rama. I personally don't like to play at GBH b/c of the smoke, as Brantford and Rama are smoke free.

Actually, there are only 8 tables tables at Brantford. I also thought there were more but,there are only 8.

I have to disagree about the levels of play at each poker room. Rama is by far the loosest. Too loose for my liking. Brantford is next loosest and Port Perry is the tighest (only in comparison to the other two). I find Brantford often has first or second time players but they are not as loose as most beginners. Rama has regulars who play any two cards, but the problem is when 7-8 of them at your table play anything, it's tough to win (in my opinion). It's good to have2-3 of these players but not 7-8 all at once.....someobody always catches something.

the Casino Rama 10/20 game is the best live game I have played in, if you have the stake pop up and play that, the 5 dollar rake in the 4/8 game is too steep
