Default O/T: Poker at the Nationals?

Looks like Hammonds is the closest casino with poker to the Nationals, anyone been there before? Thinking of going after the dinner Friday night and was wondering how much of a pain it is to drive there. Also if anyone knows of a game that might happen to break out in someones room or somewhere and they need a fish to fill out the game I'm all ears.

..is a bit of a drive/hassle. Check-out Rivers Casino and see if they have Poker Tables. They're in Des Plaines, right down the road a mile or two from the Donald E. Stephens.

Hmmm, that may be - was not aware. Hammond is southeast, you have to go through the city, which on a Friday night may not be that big of an issue..? If ChiSox play that night, it could be.

The Rivers casino in Des Plaines is 5 minutes away but does not have a poker room. Since it is close to O'hare/Rosemont it is usually crowded.

Nearest poker room is the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin. It's 25 miles west of O'hare/Rosemont on I-90.

It's very possible I'll be going to the National, and if that does indeed end up happening, I'd be interested. I can't claim fishhood though! It was my """"job"""" for about 6 years. I miss playing, if only for fun.

Nate, were you an online or live player? I've played as a side income off and on for the last 6 years and I'm just about to go full-time for the next 6 months or so. I'm a live small stakes nl cash guy.

Hell I might be a "little" less fishy then I claim. Im staying at same hotel the dinner is at. I don't know the layout of my room or how big or small it is but might not be against getting a game started if enough interest.

I won't be attending the National, but if there are any poker players from northern Virginia who might wish to join a long-standing game please let me know.

Lol. That reminds me of the time about 5 years ago at a casino a guy that already donated about 4 buy-ins to the table was going to leave and we each paid him $20 a piece to stay. He dropped another 2 buy-ins before leaving for good.

Default the big

or should I say "bigger" game where I generally go to play is predicated on a player or two feeding the pots - when they go - so goes the game. It happens a few times a week in the "pit". One day at our PLO 8 game - our room in south florida is one of the few places in the country where one can play high/low omaha @ pot limit betting - we conspired to prank a former tour pro that likes to play in our game (of course). When he got up to go to the window and cash in - we all got up and left the table! His OCD/ADD/WHATEVER made it funny as for at least a few minutes we had him going............ Now shut up and deal :-)

I wont keep clogging the board with this thread. Everyone has had a chance to read it by now I would say. Anyone else interested in starting a game somewhere the Friday night of the Nationals after the dinner or driving to a casino can PM me and if we can get 5 or so people interested Ill have a new deck of cards with me. See everyone at the Nationals and the dinner. Thanks.
