I have stayed in Lansing also which was a mistake and is also too ghetto or depressed for me. Every time I go to play in Hammond I now stay in Tinley Park which is a bit of a drive but it is the suburbs and not ghetto at all. The Wyndham is really nice but so is the Sleep Inn and Comfort Suites in Tinley. Tinley is about 30 minute drive but it depends on traffic can be longer of course.
Magnusson also has smoking rooms. The lady at the Ramada told me that all Indiana rooms now forbid smoking by law, but apparently Magnusson ain't care. The train has never bothered me. I come from Indianapolis, and I'm not about to travel all that extra time to stay in somewhere in Chicago.
Last two weeks I've played 5/10nl probably like 70 hours. I'm probably going to become a reg, coming up most every weekend. If you spot a mid-20s guy in glasses wearing a blue Butler Bulldogs hat, don't hesitate to say hi
I really like how quickly games can become shorthanded and stay that way. Last week I played 5/10/20 3 handed for like 4 hours, it was amazing.
Last Sunday I was playing in a 20/40 LHE game at about 11AM, I bet into this guy on the flop, and he promptly proceeds to have a massive seizure. Freaked me the hell out. I'll keep playing though.
