Attention Chicago Peeps


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'll be out in Chicago from Thurs - Sunday this week. I'm chilling with wax120 for a while and since his gf is out of the country for a week and he can drag his whipped puppydog *** out and get a bunch of hours in at the tables. I know checkymcfold will be joining us, kdawg and suitedup have both expressed interest in a homegame, and hopefully Vick12 will be out as well. We don't have any definite plans yet, other than I'd like to get up to Milwaukee on Friday night and meet whatarunaa at Potowatomi.Thursday I get in late so I'll probably just grab some Portillos and wax and I will play online at his place or head over to the Majestic II.Saturday, if anyone has room and wants to host a low stakes/goof around/drink and generally have a good time kind of night for a bunch of FCPers, that would be awesome. If we can't get anything set up, we'll probably hit up the Majestic again. Hoosier was telling me the ME of whatever series they have going on right now is that night, so it should be a good fishy night of tourney donks. (no offense to all the tourney donks out there :club: )Anyway I'm always happy to meet other FCPers so post up if you're in/around the city and want to meet up. We tend to eat a lot of good food and drink a lot as well so that will on the schedule also...Holla!Mark

I'm going to play the HSP main event and it starts at 9am(!) on Saturday so I'll be taking it easy on Friday. Hopefully I can make a run in the donkament, but if I busto early I'll probably be tilting at the cash tables spewing $. You guys should stop by the boat for sure, it would be cool to meet everyone.

i have the room for a saturday home game at my mom's place in the near north burbs, I just don't have the chips, table, or chairs as all of that stuff of mine is still in new jersey. lol. I don't know how down people will be to make it out my way(and I wouldn't blame them), I'm just throwing it out there. The Wilmette and Kenilworth metra north line stops aren't that far from my place if it ends up here and people need to be picked up

Will be great to meet everyone. I am feeling like we are ending up at Majestic on Sat. which would be just fine with me. I'm pumped. Tournament players are the best. Mark is a donkey live too so everyone should definitely show up to rake in some of his online cheddar.

Perfect timing. My fiance is out of town from Wednesday to Sunday, so I'd planned on playing lots of poker this weekend. My plan was Resorts on Wednesday and Thursday night and Saturday during the day, but I'd def. be down for a home game preferably on Thursday. I live in the city, and would prefer a game in the city, but would travel to the burbs if it wasn't too far, and I had to. keep me updated.Ben

I've got tons of chps, quite a few chairs and a 8-man table-top that I could bring somewhere - but hosting for me is kinda out of the question though - my place is too small.

just a note for you guys going to indiana from the city...i think they ramped up construction on the ryan again. i was out in the sw burbs last night and on the way back into the city i could see the ryan from the ike and it was absolutely slammed. this was at like 10 p.m. on a sunday. might want to consider alternate routes.

Are you saying that because last time we played at your place I gave Checky and Vick12 like, 4 buyins each? Heehaw!I CORRECTLY FOLDED TOP 2 PAIR ON THE FLOP IN OMAHA SO SUCK ON THAT. I can't believe you limit players are calling me a donk now...omg I'm taking your whole bankroll :)Mark

First of all, you know I only play no limit now so don't even start with this "limit players" crap. Some of us can actually play both. Don't even try to tell me that I can't play no limit either. I just respond with "poor coaching" as the reason for that. :)You are right you did fold top 2. Of course, if I recall correctly you raised Vick 12 and got reraised by Checky who was then reraised by Vick. Real tough lay down. At least your wife won!

MMMMMM....live cash play with Mark!!! My bankroll could always use a little boost!!!

Yeah Wax...TOUGH LAYDOWN!!! LOLI give Mark credit...it was PLO and he is a NL guy. He gets top 2 and is ready to walk down the aisle immediately! Then Jamie reraises me and I reraise Jamie and poor Mark is stuck in the middle. I give him credit for the good NEWB laydown!(Btw...for those wondering the hand..it was SIK! Mark flopped top 2...i flopped top set...jamie flopped OESFD...or maybe just a str8 and a nut FD, but anyway...Jamie and I decided to run it twice and he won once and I won once.)
OMG that was low... :)Mark
That was for the whipped puppy dog comment. Had to do it.
Mark...u did have that coming!!!I am down for anything on Thurs, Fri, Sat, or Sun evening. I am working Fri, Sat, and Sun during the day, but am totally available in the evening. Also...if we need a place I have a 75,000 sq foot building that could easily house a home game! :club: It's my volleyball facility in Palos Heights. We are very easy to get to...we are 5 minutes off an exit from 294. I also have tons of chairs and tables. I also have an Island Oasis machine which we serve non-alchohol smoothies during volleyball tourneys...but can easily morph into a super Margarita/Daquiri making machine! I can get some chips as well if someone else can't.No matter what count me in on playing...here...there...anywhere!!!

It's just for the inbound. Heading out to the boat is still pretty smooth. So just make sure the return trip is late, lol.And yeah... I'm down for this, I should be there Saturday with Jon anyway, so come on down. If it turns into a homegame at night, that works too, but either way.

:club: I've folded top two like all of fricking never in my life especially vs two aggro donkeys like you guys :)I think you had middle set. Board was AJx 2 hearts, I know I had AJ, Jamie had KQh. Thought you had JJ but I could be wrong. Either way, I still hate folding ever so don't get used to it :D Glad you can make it! Maybe on Saturday we can do a late afternoon/early evening home game at your place or Kdawgs, and then hit the casino late. Not sure distances or anything so if that doesn't make sense from a time standpoint, we can just pick one or the other. It does sound like the Majestic will be a good place to be Saturday night though.Mark

U are correct...I did have middle set...too much resin on the brain I guess!!If we wanna do a game at my work place...we can start around 5 or 6ish. If people then wanna hit up Majestic...it's an easy 5 minute hop to 294 and then from there about 30 minutes or so to Majestic.Oh...and did I really get labled an aggro-donk....my nitish ash is flattered!

Too bad it wasn't this past weekend. I had a game at my house. I can check with the wife about a game this weekend but I live 45minutes south of the loop.

i had the nfd and a broadway wrap, ****ers. :Dalso, i'm down, and it's possible we can play some cards at my place. it depends on my roommate's schedule, though, since he's in law school and sometimes is too busy for guests. i'll let everyone know when i get back from vegas tomorrow.

I rarely post, but I am also from Chicago and am always looking for places to play, as my friends would rather just play online. I live downtown in the goldcoast area and would love to play in a home game if one is going on. Suburbs are too far, but if the game is in the city, would love to join

Id be up for the boat on saturday night I could also host a game at my place in the burbs if everyone wanted to too. doesnt matter much to me either way. I live in Villa Park about 15 minutes west of the loop. pretty accessible from anywhere. Let me know it would be cool to meet some of you all.
