Just like many others, I'll be venturing into the world of live poker, but basically had no clue where to start as far as casinos are concerned. Four Winds in Michigan is kinda outta the question with the eCards or whatever the hell you call them, so any advice would be appreciated!

And most interested in 1/2 - 2/5 NL

You just cant beat the horseshoe hammond. Easily one of the top ten poker rooms in the US.

Four winds has live tables now, but none the less, Horseshoe is your best choice.

Just to agree, Horseshoe is the best if you feel like making the trip all that way.

Considering your location, you're a little less than an hour away from the Blue Chip in Michigan City, which is a smaller, but pretty decently run cardroom. Only gripe is watch for how you play with your stack. Very aggressive forward motion rule.

Four Winds typically has 1 live table at night dealt by a pit dealer, and all e-tables for their rushaments.

Majestic is pretty decent, too, 1-1 and 1-3 are guaranteed action, lots of smaller tournaments, but again, the haul.

I don't know of anything to your east.

How bout a home game? I live in South Bend as well.

I live in Elkhart, just east of South Bend...out of curiosity why is the Horseshoe Hammond the best?

Plus I might be interested in a home game, Nate. What do you play?

There are cash games every night at Joey Armadillos (the bowling alley/bar across from Campbell Ford a few miles north of ND). Tournaments most nights too.

Hi Nate, I'm interested in possibly playing in a home game(s) in the South Bend area. Do you know of any? I'm still relatively new to the game. I'm interested in low stakes Texas Hold 'Em. Thanks!
