MN Limit Players
 

Met a handful of limit players from MN this summer/fall at the Commerce playing 40, 60, and 1/2. Super nice and sincere guys that can really play some good [censored] poker. And I don't mean just one or two of them...the whole bunch. As I play primarily LHE these days for a living at Commerce, I am ashamed to say that I need to take a trip to MN to really figure out how to do my job.

What's the deal with these guys? Is there something in the water or the chronic up there that makes them so good?

Re: MN Limit Players
 

They challenge old limit has-beens to increase their e-peen.

Also, they lie about their BB/100.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

they suck, I've played in Minnesota and most of them are donks

Re: MN Limit Players
 

No Limit is Illegal in MN, so everyone plays limit.

Also, gamling age is 18 in MN, so we get a 3 yr head start playing B&M.

It's also so [censored] boring up here sometimes that all you can do is play poker.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

U go to U of MN? I met a guy this summer who still goes to U of MN...were you playing 40 at Commerce?

Re: MN Limit Players
 

Yes, I go to the U of MN. No it wasnt me, I usually don't play anything above 6-12/ never been to LA.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I also heard that there is some law that limits the game to 30/60. Is this true?

Yes, it's true. No game higher than 30-60 can be spread in MN.

Bring 30k to play the 30 at CB.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I lived in MN for nine months and ran with the fellas you speak of. Some of the best friends I have in the poker world and easily the most trustworthy group of any I have met in the poker world.

My game skyrocketed through interacting with them. When you surround yourself with those that are better than you, you yourself naturally improve as well. The guys all hang together and are all buddies and generally feed off of each other.

Norwegian blood, cold winters, and an unusually concentrated group of poker studs = the best LHE players in the world.

I assume you are talking about John Esposito. He challenged us, not the other way around. You are not smart.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

My perspective:
1. Canterbury is pretty large, gets a lot of players
2. It only has limit
3. Natural tendency to focus on 1 form of poker leads us MN people to also play limit online
4. Unusually high % of limit players to population leads to unusually high % of good limit players in MN

I'm from MN. However, I now try to play the unlimited betting form of poker to make more moneys. Also, I was never part of the unusually high percentage of GOOD limit players.

lololololo stupid poo slingers

Not a bad idea at all. I think I will after WPT in March. Although I play in what I consider to be the juiciest limit games anywhere and make a good living at it, I think my game would take a tremendous step if I played with these guys everyday. I have seen a lot of groups come and go through the Commerce but none like these guys.

Yeesh, a bit sensitive, are we? I'm just REALLY pissed off that that buster schneids always lies about his earn. I mean REALLY PISSED OFF.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I am more of a tounry player than a cash player. But my cash play keeps my bottom line up between cashes, :-D.

Will it be worth the effort to find a cash game during the HPT tourney? Or will it be a donk fest?

I don't understand you ask will it be worth it but then you ask or will it be a donk fest? Personally when I look for a game that is "worth it" I look for a donk fest. Maybe I misinterpreted you though.

Isn't Schneids from MN?

If there were live NL games in Minn there would be great NL players too, do you see why?

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I used to play at Canterbury all the time but playing limit just got old. I tend to travel to WI and IA now for some NL action and H.O.S.E, PLO, O8, Stud and Stud8 games at various casinos. I'd have to agree that there are a lot of great limit players in MN, but a lot are also one trick ponies that can only play one game. My two cents....

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I read the forums here all the time and I decided that I'll finally post some. Any of you guys play on the Heartland Poker Tour or any local tournies at the casinos? I might play in a few events at the Fall Classic at Canterbury, but I usually don't because I don't like some of their tourney structures. Thanks for the welcome.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

do you happen to know how many tables they are going to use during the fall classic. i plan on going out there and playing some of the smaller events since im only 18.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

Which of the Commerce 1/2 or white chip hold'em regulars are from MN? I've seen a group (2 with a friend or two sweating) of caucasian mid 20s once a while in the 1/2 and maybe 2/4 games - is that them? If it's who I think they are - they are certainly friendly, but did not impress. Probably as big of a donkey as I am : )

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I'm originally from northern Iowa so if I go down there to play I have a place to stay....and if I go to western WI I usually stay for atleast 24 hours at the tables. Sure online is fine, but I'd rather get out there and interact with others. As for the Fall Classic, I do not believe a cap has been set in any of the tournies thus far. Best thing to do would be to go out there on the 10th and register for the ones you want to play in. I know there will be some tournies starting at noon and others at 7 pm and that could limit the number of entries into those fields but I highly doubt it. All I know is that it's not worth waiting in line out there to sign up, it's a mess and you have everyone lined up by the cage with you.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

yeah i know, i was out there last week and missed there 200+30 weekly tourney. As for iowa, im from des moines myself. Do you ever play at the meadows?

Re: MN Limit Players
 

Yeah the most obvious answer to the OP's question is Limit is all we have so we get good at it.
But really Canterbury is funny because you see some regulars there that are very good players but there are also some idiots that are the worst players I have ever seen. Limping with Q,4s from early pos, not raising preflop with KK, cold calling an EP raise with K,Toff lots of stuff like this.
To me the key there is finding the tables with the latter type players and table changing away from the tables with many known regulars and good players.

Most of the tables there are extremely Loose/Passive so if you ever want to see what kind of games SSHE talks about CP is the place.
Study that book and chose your tables wisely and you should win monies on your visit to CP.

Re: MN Limit Players
 

I play are Prarie Meadows every once in awhile, but also have played in Tamah a few times for tournies. I mostly play at Diamond Jo's in Lake Mills, they will spread almost any game you want there as long as they can get some players. Some friends and I used to play over in Sommerset at the bars, they'd have weekly tournies for cheap and after we'd get some 1/2 cash games going. But for WI casinos, it's mostly Turtle Lake. They're kind of super aggressive donks up there, all regulars so everyone knows eachother. The 2/5 and 5/10 game can get juicy up there. I just really dislike Canterbury now, people play like such tilt monkies and I can't stand it. 3 and 4 bet preflop with junk, it just gets old. I don't play many tournies out there because of the structure, but I will play in 4 events out at the Fall Classic, hopefully.
