I happen to live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. If you do too, I would highly recommend visiting the poker room at Cowboys Casino (formerly Stampede Casino) right now. You don't live in Calgary? Too bad. Perhaps you should think about grabbing the next flight here. Why? Because the action is stupidly loose right now and will most likely continue to be stupidly loose for nine more days.
You see we have this little thing here called "The Calgary Stampede" - in which normally sane people suddenly dress like cowboys and get bombed out of their tree by the middle of the afternoon. Some of these people are tourists, some are locals who feel that for these ten days in July it is their civic duty to make total asses of themselves.
Yaaahhooo! Yeee haw!
Whatever.
Cowboys casino is right next to the actual stampede grounds - where over a million people are going to congregate over the course of the Stampede. Some will grow tired of the tilt-a-whirl and chuckwagon races and, fortified by too many over-priced beers, decide to give poker a try. At least this is what I was hoping as I made my way to the poker room. The reality exceeded my wildest dreams - the room was hopping with fish, donkeys, drunks and maniacs. I had a great session by just waiting for monster hands. Normally if I only bet great hands people catch on and I don't get any action, but today the fish were coming and going so fast they never had a chance to figure it out. I never had to bluff because there wasn't a point in bluffing - why bluff when you know you will get callers? And with action this stupidly loose there are always plenty of callers.
So.
Go to Cowboys Casino! Right now! Hurry!
