Poker In Winnipeg?

[theredwave]

Taking a trip to Winnipeg this upcoming weekend probably and was wondering if they had any worthwhile cardrooms. Thanks for any help.

Pickings are preety slim. You can play poker at the Cluib Regent casino - last I heard, McPhilips Street Station didn't even have poker.

Beyond that, you're probably looking at a private club. Of course, I may not be "in the know" regarding some hot poker action!!

I know there are some Winnipeg posters on here, so hopefully you will get an answer.
If you don't, I would suggest calling some casinos to see if they have a cardroom/what games they spread

Thanks to you both, I had found Club Regent through google but was wondering what they spread regularly. I will give them a call and ask. If anyone has anymore info about poker in the area let me know.

One of the Casinos in the north end of the city has poker. The problem with Winnipeg poker is the city is small and doesn't really have much money. I think the casino spreads 3/6 and 5/10 with weekend 10/20. The rake is horrible 10 percent to 5. So you have to be sharp to beat the game. The average player at 3/6 is probably a monkey but the rake is 800 pound gorrilla....... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Club Regent has Tuesday NL holdem tournaments, these are usually rebuy tournaments. They also spread 3-6 regularly and on weekends will have a table of 4-8 up to 10-20, whatever there is demand for.

There is a small room downtown called the Barca Club that spreads 1-2 Pot Limit Holdem cash games as well as small buyin NL holdem tournaments with quick escalating blinds. Tournaments start at 7:30, cash games around 9pm.
