Riverrock Casino

Imposing and personally found it a bit stressfull, noisy too many tables, but it did provide many available tables. getting a seat was quick

Sat down at a 1$/2$ NL game
on my fisrt hand I got dealt AdJd, called a few raises versus an unthreating board, but got beaten after calling all-in on the turn facing a player holding pocket ?
Rebought for 80$, played safe and won 485$ two hours later.

Edgewater Casino

An instant favorite poker room for me,
4 tables, great staff and right next to the washroom and the exit to the smoking section.
the waiting time wasn't too long.
It was small and intimate, itwas great.
played on the 4$/8$ Limit no kill

Yellowhead casino

Sign-up at 21:30, waited a bit and got called at a new table 3$/6$ limit table (1$ sb 3$ bb)
sat in 7th position.
I left the room after they broke off the table (less than 2 hours) with 218$

2 great hands in a row
Pocket 9 preflop into a full house of Nines full of Fives,
on the next hand,
Pocket Kings against a 10 high board

A bad play had me holding a pocket pair of 7 against many raises, I should have folded without a set set of the flop.

Never fell on tilt, never was short stack, I played solid poker, agressive selective and wasn't afraid to fold my cards. a great first experience.
