I don't personally play in any home games, my live action centers around the casinos in Atlantic City and occasionally Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. I will occasionally post on the games that I play here in this section. I know that New York has underground games all over the place but I am strictly a "Casino Cat"
I am curious where other people go to get there fix for splashing the chips and looking the other players in the eye. I think my favorite thing about live poker is that they have people bring you alcohol for free (well only free if you don't tip ) actually I like pushing "all-in", I have like six different methods I use

Hey Murry,

I have only seen Foxwoods on TV. Looks really nice, and the way Sexton talks about it, it might be pretty close to poker heaven.

I am on the other side of the country. I end up at Ocean's Eleven (a California Cardroom) or one of the Indian Casinos, such as Suycan or Pechanga (both have very nice poker rooms).

I did get a chance to play at the Hollywood Park Casino (L.A.) way back when I first started playing after winning my way onto the televised UltimateBet Challenge. Phil Helmuth was doing commentary and said I was the player at the final table making the best decisions...not quite sure how to take that.

Vegas is only about 5 1/2 hours away, but since I started playing a bit over 3 years ago, have not had a chance to mini-vacation there. Now that I have said that I have an overwhelming urge to correct that!

Wow thats awesome Valk, Phil is the man IMO so that is quite a compliment I can only think of to bad decisions and they ere both against me just kidding.

Howdy,
There really is nothing like the sound of splashing chips on the felt. We play in a home game once a month with our local poker club. There are anywhere from 30 to 50 people at any given time. Tourny style play, pays top 3 spots.
Great bunch of people, all shapes. sizes, and genders. It's a $20 buy-in, with one rebuy. Been playing with this group about a year now. We have sooooo much fun & manage to win some monies along the way.
But the looks on the faces of the men the first time I played with this group was priceless , made the final table & took down a few people along the way. From that day on when ever I'm at the table with them I get a lot of moans & groans, for some reason they don't want to play at the same table with me anymore, oops, .
