Poker in 2011
Casino Canberra is planning a big year for Poker in 2011. Commencing in January, we are planning our traditional Thursday night tournaments plus introducing Tuesday Hold-em Lightning Satellites in January and February to enter players in the Sydney ANZPT. In March, April and May, the Lightning Satellites will propel the winners into the ANZPT Super Satellites held each month to give players entry into the Canberra ANZPT Tournament over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend. According to Casino Canberra's Tables Manager, this will be four days of full-on Poker.
We think everyone will be exhausted by the end of that so we are planing a break from tournaments for July but, in August, they are back with Thursday Poker tournaments and Tuesday Lightening Satellites and tournament. In September and October, the Lightning Satellites on Tuesday could win you entry in to the end of month Super Satellites that could then win you entry in to the November End of Year Tournament held over the weekend of 26 and 27 November. Casino Canberra will also run a Team Tournament on 28 November.
That just leaves December where we are planning 10 Team Satellites culminating in the Christmas Team Hold-em Tournament on 17 December.
At this stage all tournaments are dependent on Government approval but if we have all their plans approved, it will be a big year for Poker at Casino Canberra.

Poker Machines at Casino Canberra
I'm an Aussie. I like a bet. I'm not a problem gambler. I just enjoy having a punt from time to time. I have a go with Crispey's tips at the gallops on a Saturday. And I follow the harness racing quite closely locally, so I often take a quaddie or some trifectas out at Exhibition Park. I don't know whether I end up in front or not, but I enjoy doing it and I dream of getting the big $10,000 quaddie. I will one day.
I do put money through the poker machines from time to time when I'm at the club and maybe 3 times a year I find myself at the Casino where I may have a go on the roulette tables.
It's a bit of fun. I'm happy if I win a few dollars and not too sad if I lose. I think I'm typical of Aussie punters.
What I've never understood about gambling in Canberra is why the Casino here doesn't have poker machines. I've been to a lot of casinos around Australia. I do believe ours is the only one which doesn't have poker machines. It's always hampered the casino somewhat.
You think about the Melbourne couple who are holidaying in Canberra. They decide to go to Casino for a Friday night. He wants to play the tables, she going to have a go on the pokies. They don't get it once they get here and for some reason there are not machines.
I've had many conversations over the years with Peter Cursley from Casino Canberra. This is the biggest single frustration in his life. He and the casino have done whatever they could to convince the powers that be of the sense of moving forward on this one, but they always seem to strike the same hurdle.
What is that hurdle ? Well it's hard not to be cynical here. The ACT Labor Party get's so much of it's income from the Labor Clubs poker machines. Why wouldn't they want to protect that income ?
Now the Casino are trying to buy their way into the market. They've put $10 million on the table. They're calling on the Government to use this money to fund problem gambling groups.
We should have poker machines in Casino Canberra. Unfortunately, I can't see them winning this fight. At a time when the likes of Nick Xenaphon and Andrew Wilkie are making such big anti poker machine noise, combined with the self righteous local Greens, I think Peter Cursley is fighting a losing battle.

Tonight - the Science of Poker
Do you know when to hold'em?
This Australian Science Festival event will delve into the science behind the game of poker - covering everything from statistics, the turn of the river, and the odds and percentages involved, to reading bluffs and those telltale signs when someone has a good hand.
Experts in science, maths, and behaviour, along with pros at the game, will gather together to describe what is happening scientifically when you play a hand in poker.
The discussion will be followed by our very own demonstration, with a table lined up for some games with our professional players – and a few not so professional ones too!
At the end of each hand, all will be revealed as the cards in play are shown and the panel experts share what they observed.
For those keen to try their luck and test their own skills, soon as our demonstration game comes to an end, head downstairs to the main Casino where a poker tournament has been arranged for the evening.
Come along to discover the scientific side to this game, find out what it really takes to play poker, and then get ready to put your own game strategies to the test!
