Casino Niagara Tournaments

[PokerFreak]

Has anyone here ever played in the tuesday nite tournament that casino niagara holds. I was just wondering how well the tournament is run, such as blind increases and wether or not the players are any good or if its just a bunch of retards go allin every hand.

I havent, I would like to know also. I would assume its quick blind raises because they wouldnt want to waste a table for very long on a measly SNG. I may head out to one in a few weeks, ill let you know if no one has answered by then.

I payed a visit a few tuesdays ago.
They run 7 1-hour SNGs starting at 12pm.
When I arrived there were about 60 people in front pof me waiting to sign up.
Little did I know that the $40 buy-in and the holidays made this particular tuesday the busiest of the year. drag.
I landed a seat for the 7:00pm tournnament, then signed on for a 1-2 nl ring game. I waited another four hours for that seat to open up.
Another drag.
When my tournament finally started there were ten people sitting in, the buy-in got you 1500 chips and blinds and antes were raised, wait for it, every ten minutes, starting at 50 and 100. In no time they were up to 150 and 300, with a 50 ante.
With that kind of structure, if you were in a hand you basically forced to go all in if anyone was in with you.
Thus, it was a crap shoot.
I was fifth out. I had fun, but I won't play it again. I had much better results on the tables.

I hate fast tournaments so thanks for the info.

cross the bridge to seneca casino ( USA SIDE). Better players. Less tourists. Daily tourneys. Only another 10 minutes to get to.

Why is this a selling point?

there are a lot of crazy players that can either make it for you or break you. With the blinds being as such increasing seneca is better. You have 3bout 30 - 60 player tourneys. Players that are more into the game . Not where half the players are shooting gut shots. People sit down in Niagara and are basicly coming from blackjack to poker. 1 or 2 players on table and its okay . Not where almost all of them are. IM also not a big fan of sngs ....Really touneys are good. I will say 1 2 NL at casino niagara is the best. Thats where you want to catch the tourists on a saturday night with a poker dream.
