The other room usually only runs 2-10 games on my days off. My days off are Sun-Tue and the bus from the city doesn't run on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm lucky to find a game. The Rose usually has a couple 100 games going on Sundays, so I am stuck playing 1 day per week right now.
It's been getting to the point that I am looking to relocate closer to Black Hawk. I would like to be in an area that has tables continuously running. I don't think it would be feasible for me financially to travel and stay in a hotel for 2 nights every week, and I'm not interested in playing at the Isle for 4 hours to get a discounted room. Plus, I have a couple dogs and a girlfriend that would all have something to say about that. Anyways, I have an IT background as a Network Engineer so work wouldn't be too hard to find. I used to work in Denver and hated it, but I am curious about the Boulder area. I think Quantph (I've been reading your 30/60 thread) and a few others are from the Boulder area. I was wondering how the drive is to Black Hawk?
From south Boulder about 55 minutes with light traffic. On Fridays after work it can be 20-30 minutes longer depending on time/weather/holiday weekend/accident on 93 etc. I like living in Boulder, my job is here, good restaurants and easy access to trails, but it's expensive here. If you want less expensive and better access to BH try Golden
