Are there any home games in the area? I prefer NLHE but I will play many types of poker and I play a wide range of limits

Aside from Craigslist, another option would be to chat up people on FTP and Stars who are from Oahu and ask them.

Obviously I have no idea about any particular game you might find, but I have found a number of decent games (and people) through craigslist. The first game I found, however, was a one time only thing, and the guy who hosted was a real nut case (and I really thought there was going to be a fight). So I guess you have to be careful.

Isn't all gambling completely illegal in HI? I was so disappointed the last time I went down to HI for 2 weeks and couldn't get my poker on to fund some of the trip. . .

There is no legally regulated gambling in Hawaii. However I do believe they have social gambling laws that make home poker games legal as long as there is no rake. I know that was true in the past, but I haven't lived there in a long time.

It doesn't look like much came from this thread, but I just got to Honolulu and I was hoping to find a good NLHE/PLO game somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions or information? Any help would be awesome.

THANKS

Hi Weatherman,

Tried to PM, but it didn't send. Do these games still run? I am on Oahu for another three weeks and am interested to check it out.

Thanks, Sugrrr.

Just got stationed here on the marine corps base above kaneohe bay..
Looking for a regular game myself to play once/twice a week.

uhh if anyone wants to start up a 1/3 or 2/5 regular pm me and ill get the email. don't have a car but there's a poker table at the e-club on base that ppl can play at. wouldn't say finding a home game in hawaii online is the least sketch thing anyone can do but i wouldn't play with the locals without rolling 5 deep at least

I am starting up a monthly or biweekly game out in Ewa Beach. It will be low stakes to start probably .25/.50 to get some interest. Would prefer to run a STT style event but depends on interest. Shoot me a message if interested for details.
