A legend gets his own signature whiskey
Jul 12, 2019, 6:46 PM
Larry and his whiskey Our Director of Charitable Initiatives, Larry Robinson, was on site this week to autograph bottles of his limited-edition whisky. Created through a partnership between the Alumni Association and J.P. Wiser, this premium, collectible Canadian whisky was created with Larry’s playing style and numerous notable achievements in mind. Big and smooth, true to the Big Bird’s legacy as a dominant defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens, and aged in six barrels, one for each of the Stanley Cup rings Larry won with le tricolore, this whisky is something to behold. Unlike the first release, all future lineups will be made available nationally – so that you can collect the Series! Proceeds received by the Alumni are invested back into local hockey initiatives across the country while supporting the retired player community. The Bad Beat Jackpot race There will be important changes to the Bad Beat Jackpot on […]

Jul 10, 2019, 3:13 PM
On behalf of the Playground team, we would like to congratulate the fifteen quebecers who have made the money in the World Series of Poker Main Event! As usual, players traveled from all around the world to Las Vegas en masse for the Main Event. This year’s field came in at 8,569 runners, the second largest in WSOP history, to put an $80,548,600 prize pool on the line. The strong showing by local players shows the high caliber and elevated status of poker in Quebec, something that Playground is proud to be a part of. Join us in wishing these local players the best of luck and success in their quest to follow in Jonathan Duhamel’s footsteps and bring the most prestigious prize in poker back to Quebec. There are still 354 players left in the running in the Main Event. David Guay leads the three remaining quebecers with a […]
New MyGame capabilities on partypoker
Jul 8, 2019, 12:59 PM
On June 17, partypoker introduced major changes to their client that included the disabling of downloadable hand histories to enhance fair play on their site, as part of their mission to create the safest and fairest place to play online poker. In order to provide players with information that will help them plug leaks and sharpen their game, partypoker introduced the MyGame feature. Located within the main client, this feature is an interactive coaching tool that ranks players according to several criteria and provides a scorecard that summarizes their performance at the tables. In short, MyGame provides everything a player needs to take their game to the next level. MyGame provides a detailed report card that breaks down all aspects of your game. Based on game optimal theory, the report card gives you feedback on key statistics, stealing and blind defence, three- and four-betting, post-flop aggression, and showdowns. When it […]
