Re: Home Games around St. Paul, MN
Even if I have to host or something, we should get a game going. Where are you located K8? Disclamer though, I really don't have a lot of space to host a game.

Re: Treasure Island, MN
Thanks for the advice. I think you are probably right, I still do need a lot of work, but sometimes the more competitive side of me wants to sit in the bigger games. Do you regularly play the 4/20?

Your math is no good. 80 $0.25 chips = $20. 40 ($10) would still be a lot. You could get away with 20 $0.25, 20 $1, and the rest $5, though 24-32 $0.25 chips may be better.
