Poker Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron Casino: No poker room. See 167 traveler reviews, 4 candid photos, and great deals for Port Perry, Canada, at Tripadvisor. So, i recently moved back to the toronto area and went up to the Heron for the first time last week. I was pleasantly surprised that in the 10 years since i've played there the poker room has expanded from 4 to 12 tables, although it's all still FL owing to gov't regs (max $100 wager anywhere in the casino i think). Poker Pit opening in less than a week at Great Blue Heron Casino! Great Blue Heron Casino is excited to announce the opening of the new Poker Pit on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 12 p.m. Offering Holdem.

Full disclosure: I worked there for years in its infancy.

For years, this was the place to play. Fastest dealers, best management, best game, everything. Now, as is always the case, unions ruin everything. Dealers barely even say thank you for tips, game speed at a crawl, pit staff feels like they’re the attraction (yes, you, Susan and Tom) and the place is paralyzed by the list. Everybody shows up and placed their name on every list because there’s no way of knowing what will open next or if there will even be a dealer to open something. I was 40th on 5-10 limit, 10-20 and 1-2 at 3pm on a Thursday last time there. Dealers sat at vacant tables.

Now that they’ve changed poker managers, I wonder if the current one has ever played the game.

5 years ago, this would have been a 5 star glowing review. Now, I play in Niagara or Buffalo.
