But once I get used to it its a lot easier to swallow.


Vancouver and Montreal is extremely tough, and if you think Vancouver is a soft game you need to go out there and play more.
I've played poker in quite a few diff places. I was in Macau in October grinding 100/200 for a month. Anything higher wasnt really worth the variance with all the geniuses. Trust me. Vancouver poker is pretty soft.

Its likely we have different definitions of tough poker. This has been my career for over two years so I may have a different perspective.

I'm not gonna discuss strategy or anything here though. For me soft games = super weak passive players. That's what vancouver is. There's no head ache and every decision is relatively easy to make. I haven't played at hardrock or anything.. My opinion comes mainly from grinding at RR and edge
