Does anyone on here go to Umass Amherst/going there next year? I'm an incoming freshman who's looking to meet some other poker players on campus. I currently play on merge since BF but before i was grinding 6max rush and HU on ftp. Also are there any homegames that go on around there?

amish country ftl

amish school?

I'm going to be a junior there. I know a few other grinders there unfortunately we haven't been playing with all the recent government issues, hoping to have everything get regulated ASAP so I can grind next year at school, but who knows what will happen.

a good friend of mine went to amherst college and the town was an amish hellhole. i'm 100% certain your peers at umass will be much cooler tho, so that should soften the blow.

bump.. if anyone here plays seriously would be cool to meet up

its cool theres evena thread for umass. my dad is alumni. go minutemen!!

Wat? The bar scene in Amherst is legit and reasonably priced. Living in Boston now, I miss being able to go to McMurphy's, order 5 cocktails at once for $3, chug them all, and go back for more. If you want less of a dive, Amherst Brewing Company is a pretty nice lounge for college kids. There's plenty of things to do and see in Amherst and Northampton, even if they are relatively in the middle of nowhere.

OP, I wish UmassPoker had never gotten taken down, it used to be THE site to organize cash games and tournies. Having said that, your best bets for finding games will be in Southwest lounges and some frats. There's usually a few poorly-structured charity tournaments each year, you could probably find people that'd play 1/2NL through that.

Ya I googled it a year ago and it looked cool, nothing really runs ever in the dorms but theres an underground 1/2 game in town.

bump time with new school year coming up

time for the yearly bump, hopefully this year can find some people

Northampton local here. Not a serious player. Looking to play more and improve my game.

UMASS senior here looking to find games and players out here.
