I decided to go on another poker road trip -- this time alone, visiting my brother Lee who lives in Minneapolis, and my friend Blaine, who lives in Western Pennsylvania. I figured I'd take in the two relatively new rooms in the Pittsburgh area, then a room in or near Minneapolis, and finally the three rooms in Detroit.
Things didn't quite work out as I had planned -- though now, as I'm in the last leg of the trip, I'm not complaining.
I'll summarize where I visited here, and then in subsequent entries, spend a little more time on each of the places I visited. Finally, I'll distill all of this into an article or two for Poker Player Newspaper and/or www.pokerology.com -- where they actually pay me for what I write!
Friday night, July 22, 2011: With my wife in West Springfield, MA -- no poker.
Saturday July 23, 2011: Drove to Pittsburgh, PA and Canonsburg, PA and played at the Meadows and the RIvers. Stayed near Toledo, Ohio.
Sunday, July 24, 2011: Drove to Dayton, MN (northwest of Minneapolis), hung out with my family, and did not play poker.
Monday, July 25, 2011: In Dayton, MN. Did not play poker.
Tuesday, July 26, 2011: Visited Running Aces Poker Room north of Minneapolis and entered a tournament.
Wednesday, July 27, 2011: Left Dayton and ended up in Canton, MI, 20 minutes west of Detroit. Played in three rooms en route: Horseshoe in Hammond, IN; Four Winds on the Michigan/Indiana border (in Michigan); Firekeepers,Exit 104 on route I94.
Thursday, July 28, 2011: Left Canton, MI and drove to Canastoga, NY near Turning Stone Casino. Played there.
Tomorrow I'll drive to Lenox, MA where I'll meet my wife for a concert at Tanglewood. I'll stay over night in Williamstown, MA and then travel Saturday to Foxwoods before heading home.
More details to come.
