Toronto poker rooms? Actually in/very close to Toronto? (1 Viewer)

[TheAlchemist]

I'm going to be traveling up to Toronto once a quarter for work starting next week. I will probably have an evening to myself and am looking for a place to play some NLH but actually close to downtown as I won't have a car and am not looking for a 3 hour tour.

Thoughts? Ideas? Skip poker and stick to hookers and blow?

Unfortunately, there are no casinos/cardrooms in the downtown core.

The closest casino with a poker room is in Niagara Falls. It’s about an hour drive (assuming no traffic….which is a very poor assumption)

There are slots at Woodbine racetrack and charity casinos (slots, blackjack, etc.) outside of the city (Ajax) but that’s still a 45 minute drive from the core.

I recently stumbled upon this poker room online, actually found it randomly on IG.

I’m not sure how exactly they are skirting around the legalities but I assume it’s the “No rake” even tho they are pulling from the pot for their bad beat among other things. They also appear to charge a fee on buy ins.

Anyways I haven’t played there myself but it looks to be a decent operation based on the info online, IG and their website.

Worth a look I suppose. Not downtown but a short Uber away.

Blah. Thats a bummer. Anything I should find time to check out when in town in the future?

Hmm, looks interesting. Probably won't make it this trip since its my first time but possibly next go around. Thanks.
