About Great Blue Heron Since 1991, we've designed and built the finest quality luxury western and contemporary custom leather furniture at our factory in Texas. We use only the highest quality and most unique full grain leathers and exotic brindles from around the world in our upholstery. Two years later, he entered and won a 110-man tournament at the Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry, Ontario. The casino has since closed its poker room. Phil’s poker playing skills have not only netted him some cash and bragging rights but also allowed him to create a tightly-knit group of friends. An Excellent Gaming Floor With a little over 20 000 square feet of space, the gaming area is not massive at the Great Blue Heron, but you can still find all that you are looking for. There are more than 500 slots available at the Great Blue Heron, all which are linked to the special rewards program offered by the venue.

Here are some important changes you should know:

• Cell phones can be used at the poker table, when you do not have cards. No talking on the phone at the table.
• All buy ins are to be done at the cage, cash does not play
• New Players do not have to post – unless they want to come in on the dead puck or small blind
• Minimum $2 rake once there is a flop
• Rake is always taken from the main pot first. If rake from the main pot is less than max rake, the remaining rake will be taken from the side pot
• Reduced rake is taken when 4 or less players are dealt in
• When 2 players receive the same rank card when drawing cards, suit will determine the winner.
• When seat changing, you must post when moving away from the blinds and ‘jump over’ 2 live players.
• When Table changing, you become a New Player – meaning you must meet buy in requirements
• After leaving a table, you cannot return with less chips than you left with, unless an hour has passed
• Meal break ends once you return to the table, you must return your Meal sign to the Inspector.
• Showdown – if there wasn’t a river bet, the player that was first to act (check) is to open first, otherwise, it is the last aggressor.
• Showdown –only players that are still in possession of their cards may ask to see a mucked hand.
• 50% raise rule – in both Limit and No Limit, when a player puts out at least 50% of a raise, they must put out a minimum raise.
• Out of Turn action is binding (including verbal), as long as action does not change.

LIMIT POKER

• Short all-in raises that are less than 50% of the raise will not count as a raise. Raises after a short all-in of less than 50% will complete the raise.
• Short all-in raises that are at least 50% will count as a raise, any raise after this will be a full raise on top of the all-in amount.
• Betting will be reopened to a player that has already acted if they are facing at least 50% of a bet/raise.

NO LIMIT POKER

• All raises must be done in one motion. You may not say raise, then put out the call amount, and then put out the raise amount.
  Anything that was not done in one continuous motion, without pause will be considered a string.

Quite a few poker sites won't do business with Canadians because of hazy laws targeted towards online poker operators. However, plenty of the best online poker sites still accept Canadian players.

Online poker is 100% legal for Canadian online poker players. There are no laws targeting online poker players in Canada, but there are a few hazy laws targeting online gambling operators.

In some Canadian provinces it is illegal to operate an online casino or poker room, so we do not recommend starting up a poker site located in Canada. However, if you are just playing online poker in Canada, you have nothing to worry about whatsoever.

We have ranked and reviewed all of the Canadian poker sites, and determined that the sites below are the best poker sites for Canadians. Most of the Canadian poker sites listed on this page allow Canadian players to play poker in CDN dollars, deposit and withdraw in CDN as well as receive your bonuses in CDN $. This is great, as it means you can avoid the costly conversion fees. Another benefit to choosing a Canadian poker room is that you can enter satellites to the CPT - Canadian Poker Tour, held in Niagara Falls Ontario.

Online Poker in Canada

The reason that some online poker rooms don't accept Canadians is because they are worried that in the future Canada might pass anti-gambling laws and then come after their companies, but this is a stretch at best. There are still plenty of Canadian poker sites that will gladly accept your business.
