Hitting #68 tomorrow with Harrahs Philadelphia. Traveling 1/3 of my life for my job has certainly added to my numbers. I wonder how many more it would be if I added non-poker casinos I have been to...

Edit: Remembered one more, so 69 tomorrow.

Liar seems a bit harsh - I was there in October 2006 - there were 3 or 4 tables - I hit it during the day and there was only 1 shorthanded game 3/6 or 4/8 going. As I recall there was a couple that had a child stashed in a room somewhere. She kept calling the room from the table to check. It was pretty dumpy. That was the time I made the pilgrimage to Hibbing to see Bob Dylan's boyhood home.

As several others have pointed out if the room changed hands (or in some cases if it relocated within the casino) and I hit it a second time then I counted both. Don't think there are very many of those.

Also as noted by someone else in 20 some years a lot of rooms have come in and gone out of existance.

That is insanely impressive, may I ask what you do for a living that has helped you travel across North America like that?

Thanks – I guess . I am an accountant working for 3 different companies and have some peaks and valleys in my work requirements. My arrangement with them is that I get paid by the hour and, as long as my work gets done, I can pretty much come and go as I please.

I started taking poker trips as a “reward” for finishing tax season. Gave me something to look forward to and plan out. Now I take 2 trips of 4 or 5 days a year plus go to Vegas for a week each year. My wife has no interest which makes things a lot easier.

I pick an area and research the poker rooms, then I lay out an itinerary. When the rooms are concentrated like in the Seattle area I am able to hit 9 or 10 in one day – in Seattle it was 32 in one long weekend. Otherwise I don’t mind driving – especially with audio books. In Oklahoma I hit 23 in 4 days all over the state.

Problem now is that I am running out of places with a lot of rooms. Have a 5 day trip laid out for Calgary/Edmonton/Moose Jaw with 23 rooms otherwise it looks like 2 or 3 at a time – mostly ones that I missed on previous trips.

Thankfully they keep opening new casinos.

You should be aware that the list covers 20 years and many of the rooms are no longer open. Here are some ways that I go about finding rooms -

www.thepokeratlas.com is probably the best of the online directories - although you need to double check as it often lists closed card rooms and there is a lag before new ones show up

a good source is to search the Brick and Mortar forum - enter the state you are interested in and read the threads

also a Google search of "poker in ___ " can pull up some rooms that you might miss otherwise.

Since all these places are licensed you can go to the state website and look up licenses - I got several in Florida that I would have otherwise missed.

When you are in a new room look for poker magazines or gambling newspapers - check the tournament listings for unfamilar rooms

What you really need to do is make sure they have a website and that it clearly shows a poker room. I have gotten to casinos that advertised poker but only had poker slot machines.

Hey Anytwo72 - what were you doing in Montreal? I'm sure other Montrealers and I would be curious to read a kind of trip report in the Montreal Regional sub-forum if you have a chance.
