It's as if you assume midwest players who would play in such games DON'T already KNOW about the Potawatomie games, the quality of play and when the games go. THEY DO.

This isn't true. The games I've been trying to start do not happen on a regular basis and they almost never happen when I am not playing. More people find out about them from talking directly to me in the poker room but people have come up to me and told me that they read it here.

THEY DO. I know exactly for whom you are posting --Illinois players.

I'm not targeting any particular geographical region...but who cares if I am?

Illinois players have played at Potawatomie. They know what the action is like. For example, they know the games you are "promoting" are filled with the toughest of the few local players, who can afford to play those levels.

Tough players rarely choose to play with other tough players. If they do do this regularly, their "toughness" is questionable. The games I've been trying to rejuvenate are often quite good.

Some Illinois players occasionally play at Pot, but it is obivious most prefer Resorts (Indiana) for higher limit action, because of an abundance of players. There are more and higher "limit" and "no limit" action at Resorts and players who have visited Potawatomie know it.

This seems true. If I lived closer to resorts than potawatomi, I'd probably spend more time there as well (I've never been to resorts so i can't say for sure). But again, who cares? Why don't you let me just waste my own time in peace?

Because he has some grudge against the Pot. Ive been following his posts for years and that's pretty obvious so hopefully nothing he says influences anyone's opinion of whether this is a worthy thread or not.

It's common sense, if people get a sense that even a few players are going to be there, and they are close by, they are going to play there. Not everyone has time to drive all the way to Resorts if there is another option closer by.

And I doubt any of these people are for the most part "experienced regulars". If they had an abundance of those, they would be running mid-limit more often.

As it is, the way they are doing it is perfect. Even for the person who wants to play every day, if their game is being run at the Pot, they can benefit from the closer drive, and they can still go to Resorts or wherever on the other days.
