I live just outside of Toronto so I'm there. I think they'll get around 10,000 people for the weekend. It's not a bad place but the Metro Toronto Convention Center would've been a better location. This is just outside of Toronto and might hurt the attendence a bit.

I was thinking the same thing. The MTCC is right next to Union Station.

I'd go if I knew how to play live poker. If I went I'd probably embarrass myself because I have no clue about posting blinds and knowing when it's my turn, since online the software does all that for you.

Actually besides home games and live freerolls this place may be the best place to learn. You're not putting any money on the table afterall.

So did I, until I checked out the website and saw the location. It's near Lawrence West subway.

If you might wanna consider playing in free poker leagues to build your confidence playing live poker.

I was a little disappointed with the show, as a whole. Not enough vendors. The Full Tilt Poker Tournament Zone saved the expo, for me anyway. I'm guessing it saved the expo for a lot of people. The sngs were fun, and I ended up winning one. Winners of the sngs get a seat in a freeroll for a WPT Spanish Championships package, plus a swag bag with FTP stuff.

There were a few cool booths. Hands Free Poker is definitely something I gotta check out. Another booth had what they called Poker Hoodies, which are basically padded table cloths that you tie down and tighten underneath the table, to get a snug fit. They look and feel really nice, and can save someone a few bucks and space, instead of buying a whole poker table.

Eh, maybe I had more fun than I thought. It was the first expo, so next year it should be better.
