TS Clark 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I will be in Pittsburgh in mid-September for a presentation I have to give. Is there anyplace within a couple of hours of there that people might go to play a bit? Or is it a poker wasteland?If any eastern folks have any thoughts on this, that would be great. Thanks.

tribe26 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Mountaineer is all bs slots. If you are in on a weekend, Cleveland has poker tournaments running downtown from Thursday-Sunday. $50-$150 SNG's and MTT, up to 10-20 cash games. It is for charity, so the rake is bad, but lots of fish. Link to post Share on other sites
krup24 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know of several "underground" games in the area.$25-$50 tournies some w/ rebuys + addonscash games mostly are NL 1/2 and 3/6 and most of the limit games are 2/4.For "fundraiser" tournies 90% payouts usually w/ sidegames go to www.tristatefun.comAny questions PM me.

TS Clark 0 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thanks, guys. I guess this trip will be a bust from the card-playing standpoint. While I'd like to play, 2.5 hours for a night of cards isn't +EV for me.They need to legalize poker. It disturbs me that it's closer for me to drive from Salt Lake City to play legal poker (in Wendover) than it is in more civilized parts of our great land.Thanks again for everyone's input.
