Sounds interesting. And its not far from me.

interested, but stakes are a little high for me, anything a little lower in cash games?

[theraisin]

yes we run regular live games as low as 3/6 or sometimes even 2/4. Also I forgot to mention that all the events are catered and we provide free soft drinks and snacks and do regular food runs for playing customers.

Membership is free and rakes are as follows:

2/4 - 3/6 - 10% to a $3 max
5/10 & 1/2 NL - 10% to a $5 max
10/20 or higher (includes higher NL games) - 5% to a $7 max
Tournaments we take 15-20 points depending on how many entries, all our rates are up to par with the other undergrounds or lower.

Fridays we try to hold bigger games but we will deal anything the players want to play, including 1/2 no limit with a $100 max (which would probably be the smallest NL game) but we will even deal 2/4 limit, no problem at all. We have four tables so we can accomodate anyone.

should I call ahead and see what games you have going on a certain night or is there generally a 1/2 NL game going on.

It's always good to call ahead and see what we have going but like I said we try to cater to our players so if you want a 1/2 NL game we'll try to get one going. NL is pretty popular now a days so I don't think you will have trouble sitting in on one. This Friday we will be trying to deal a 10/20 and a 3/6 or a 1/2 NL on the second table, but that is up to the players aswell.

I think i will be by in a couple weeks to try your freezout tourney and to see what you guys are all about. I would much rather drive to mississauga then Niagara or Brantford.

Evidently interest in the new club is high. I just have some general questions.

1. What is the address of the Raisin Room?
2. Is there an age limit (i.e. 13+, 16+, 19+)?
(I myself am a 17 year old hold 'em convert and know many others.)
3. Do you have a website?

Thanks,

Rob
