uhh turning stone in verona NY is the only big room i can think of, but there are many small indian reservations. Also depeding on where you live in US, windsor, Canada has an awesome poker room/casino/race book

I have played in Turning Stone casino ( I'm 18 ) a few times, my friend lives about 10 minutes from there so I visit and we go for some long sessions. What exactly are you looking for? They had 100 Max NL 1/2, but I think they moved the buy in up to 200 since I've been there last. Same goes for 2/5 NL, buy in used to be 200 but I think it is more now (200 max buy in for a 2/5 game? cmon!) They also have a bunch of different limit games, nearly all games there are soft filled with people who are tight weak. Funny story actually, my friends used to hate on me all the time for being a super rock, but now I'm one of the loosest players after taking a session where I didn't play the cards and raised every hand against players based only on reads at the 1/2 table. There is also a 5/10 game on friday nights I believe? I am not positive, but the 5/10 game is terribly weak if you have the cash, which I do not. My friend made 1k in a half hour there, and then the game broke. He did not show down one hand.

Try Indian Reservations and Poker Cruises, if it is jsut for a vacation and not full time play check out cruises leaving, pokerkruises.com good luckId aviod home games although they are becoming more popular and trustworthy.

You really expect anyone to believe that? I sure wish I could average 200BB/hour in a middle -limit game and not have to show a hand. I guess if everyone played the hand and the bets were capped on all the rounds, it could happen even faster, but since he didn't have to show a hand, this seems highly unlikely.
