Weak Players at Alberta Poker Rooms

There are more poker rooms in Calgary than in Edmonton and if you are looking for more action you should check out the action there. twice the poker rooms means twice the cash games and twice the tournaments. There is also a good poker room in the Cash Casino in Red Deer Alberta about 1/2 way to Calgary.

Edmonton and other Alberta poker rooms have some of the weakest players in Canada. The reason is the high paying semi skilled and unskilled jobs in the oil fields, construction and other fields. With lots of money to through around many of these poker players are looking to get lucky and have a good time, they are not serious poker players and are more gamblers - easy pickings.
