Welcome to the Chicago Poker Club!

[ChicagoJason]

Welcome.

I hope this will become an active discussion forum for all things poker in and around Chicago.

Looking for a regular game? Looking for a couple of players for your game?

Know about a tournament local to Chicago? Any upcoming events in the midwest?

Have a gripe about those nasty poker chips at Trump Casino in Gary, IN? Planning on heading to the casino in NW Indiana or Wisconsin?

Let us know!

Take a minute to introduce yourself. Tell us about your interests, your poker experience, your favorite games, etc.

HI there, heard you on Card Club today!

I live in Lincoln Park and am always up for games. I play at Trump often.

Those chips are gross!!!

One of the dealers told me that the IGC will not let them clean them, since it makes it easier to counterfeit them. Not sure if I believe that, but they said the only way to get clean chips would be to buy new chips.

That's too funny. I'm not sure if I believe it either. No one else seems to have that problem.

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you! I also live in Lincoln Park. I'll announce the next game here, and send you the details. Let us know if you ever need another player or three for your games.

Welcome Brett and Anthree! Glad to have you here - well, not so much Brett...8O

I'm looking forward to growing the community, talking poker, playing poker, etc. We're going to need to find a venue soon. Perhaps a restaurant or bar would rent out a back room to us.

Already contacted Jason about possible upcoming games. I usually play home games with friends and online at Fulltilt. Haven't been able to make it out to RockfordCharitable yet. Always so busy with work that I cant make it out. And it's so hard trying to get friends' schedules to jive to set up a game. It's been a while since I've played wtih my usual group. my fiancee and I and a couple of others are usually up for a game whenever.

Hope to meet some of ya soon.

Forgot to add my name Anthree is the nick my buddies gave me in college. 3 is also one of my power numbers, so watch out when I have pocket 3's in the hole LOL! I also respond to Andy (or fish ) and on here I think I'm newbie.

I'll keep my ears and eyes open for any venue that might be willing to host.

Also, what about hostig a private tourney on Paradise Poker? Just a thought.

[ChicagoJason]

Welcome new peeps.

I'd play in a private game online, sure. I've only played on Party Poker and Pacific Poker, and have accounts established, so that would be the prefernce. But, I could be talked into another site.

Hi all -

I finally got an iPod and started listening to the Lord Admiral podcast - heard about this site on the show.

My boyfriend Randy and I are low limit poker players (hold'em and omaha primarily) in the Joliet, IL area. I play several days per week at Trump in Gary, IN (3 days/nights a week or so).

I've got a poker blog at http://www.hellaholdem.com and have a rotating local home game and monthly tourney that I play in. I look forward to chatting and finding some more local poker games and meeting some fellow poker geeks!

I stopped by the receptionist to sign in but she was out. So I decided to just wander around and look things over.

I've played live poker for many years and on-line for about a year and a half (Mostly NL Ring, MTT and SnGs) on Party, JetSet, Poker.com and some others.

We have a Chicago based home game going too................

This has interesting possibilities.

Hello everyone,

I live in the south loop area and I'm looking for some low-stakes local home games or tourneys to sharpen my Hold 'em game. Look forward to meeting you across the table!

Stay tuned Chris.

I'm looking into an online Chicago Poker Club tournament, at present. There's an Ali Babba tournament coming up next weekend. ChicagoJoe keeps us all posted on other game opportunities in and around Chicago. We let one another know when we're headed to a local casino or big local game. And finally, we just may get a live CPC game going in the near future. It's just tough to plan in the open, where some aggressive young law enforcement official may want to break up a $20 buy-in game.

Thanks!
