Home Games around St. Paul, MN

I know we live in a great area to play poker with Canterbury, Treasure Island, and Grand Casino Hinkley all within a reasonable driving distance. But, I was wondering if any 2p2ers had some home games within the area. I would love to play some HORSE, and NL Hold 'Em. (Instead of Fixed or Spread that is normally played in the Casinos.) I can't generate any intrest with my friends so I am looking for a good home game in the area. Anybody looking for someone? I have tried the home game finder web site & craigslist, but I can't find anything. I'm not looking for big stakes, anywhere from a .25/.50 to 1-2 would be great.

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.

Interested myself. I'm from Lakeville, and have a few buddies that would be interested. Nearest game I know from here is Mankato [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I live in Lakeville and might be interested. I can't do a regular thing, but every once in a while...
.25/.50 NL and/or 1/2 Horse sounds good.

Caveat: I am old (31).

Old? 31 is pretty young there, kid. I'm 26. I don't care what age people are as long as they are there for two things, one and the most important is to have fun, but the other goal is to still take the game serious.

I am more than willing to drive to Lakeville.

I was just wondering if I should start this thread or if it would be rude. I know of a couple games but would love to connect with a few more in the 50NL - 200NL range. It was hard to get games going during the summer but now that the weather sucks again...

Once I meet you guys and feel confortable that you're not going to murder me and leave me in the trunk of my car in Burnsville, I'd be happy to host a gathering. Plus I don't want to esplain to my wife that I'm inviting interenet strangers over. Because man that sounds weird when you say it out loud.

i just like to play, don't care what stakes. just like to have fun and win a pot here and there.... online is great but it seems like a grind all the time. i play tourneys and cash games with buddies around here, but its always hard to get games going. more spur of the moment thing and stakes range from $5 rebuys to $50 buy ins to $2-$10 spread games. just looking for more games i guess. i did see something on craigslist about a tourney in burnsville, seemed okay but i never made it there. was wednesday nights, something like $20 buy in, unlimited rebuys for 2 hours, $15 donation for food & drinks etc..
