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? |

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. |

Re: Traveling to Minnesota...
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? |

[/ QUOTE ] This is funny and I love these out of town NL only donks who can't adjust to LHE that come to CP and spew chips thinking they are going to "raise you off a hand". They raise preflop with AToff and keep betting the whole way after they complely miss the flop and then go ballistic when you call them down/raise after you flop top pair or a great draw. I don't think I'm going to fold the nut flush draw with 2 overs and a backdoor straight draw with 10 bets already in the pot. I just laugh to myself. Priceless PS - The $200 and $400 NL tourneys are decent but skip the Donk and Go's as the structure(300 chips to start, blinds double every 10 min) is brutal. The players are terrible but unless you double up in the first round or two you will be pushing 15 minutes in. |

Re: Traveling to Minnesota...
I played an SNG a while ago. It sucked. IIRC I folded an orbit, 3-bet AI PF w/ AQo and lost to 55. And this was like, very, very standard. Just a push-n-go.
(I'm not commenting on the play, which is bad, I'm commenting on the structure.) |
