Traveling to Minnesota...
 

Search gave me about nothing useful on this, so here goes...

I'm going up to Minnesota with several of my friends who are not yet 21 to play some poker. What are the good rooms up there? Are any of them relatively close to the Iowa border?

Canterbury card club in Shakopee

Not sure if they have NLHE though.

Re: Traveling to Minnesota...
 

They don't offer NL cash games, but it's a huge room with a wide variety of limit games. They also have sit n' gos, which I would recommend against due to the structure.

Treasure Island is closer to Iowa, but if you're going to make the drive, come up to Canterbury.

Wednesday tournament (NLHE $200+30)
Sunday varies, sometimes a cheesy shoot-out, sometimes $400.

Donkament SNGs Monday and Thursday

Otherwise wall to wall limit. Brush up on your limit on-line before you come. The regulars get a huge laugh at "If this was no-limit I could have raised you off your hand". Chip spewing usually commences.

So the games are better at Canterbury?

My friends have never played limit before, so they'll be spewing chips anyway, regardless of whether they actually bother to read the copy of SSHE I've had them passing around between them. I'll probably be playing any good game I find up to about 10/20.

Part of the reason for this trip is that my friends want to hit the Mall of America for part of a day... is that anywhere close to Canterbury?

This weekend. None of us could get more than the weekend off, so cash games and the mall are about all we're doing.

Re: Traveling to Minnesota...

2/4
3/6
4/8
6/12
8/16

You could try the Diamond Jo Casino just south of the IA/MN border on I-35.

There won't be as many tables in play as Canterbury, but I think they have NL.

Diamond Jo doesn't work... it's in Iowa and my friends aren't 21.
