A local taxi driver told me this was the best spot in town to play poker. I checked out their website to see the tournament schedules. Gold Eagle Casino has a dedicated poker section that lists buy-ins, blind structures, and seat availability in real-time. The transparency is exactly what a serious player needs in Canada. I decided to practice on a video poker machine while waiting for a tournament to start. I was dealt jack-high nothing, discarded all five cards, and got another terrible hand. This happened repeatedly. I was burning through my bankroll at an alarming rate. Finally, I was dealt four cards to a royal flush, drew the missing card, and hit the jackpot. It completely salvaged a miserable practice session.
