Have you ever dreamed of playing poker on TV? Im sure we all have, here is your chance. I will be attending the April 4th game and probally will play in both tournaments. I have already reg for the 1st that day. WPT pros will be playing in the event with the most recognizable being TJ Clouttier. Buy in is 120 + 20 start with 8000 in chips for 10 more you get another 2000 in chips. Blind structure leaves room for good play starting at 50/100 and lasting 20 min a round. This is the link to view the games they also run cash games and sng's. http://www.maineventcharitygames.com/

Ay phil, im going to check that out... i know ure on the southside, im more north so those rockford charitable games are closer to me (shiller park, des plaines, skokie, etc.) but nevertheless im going to look into that.

Id be fun meeting some1 from the forum in a live game, i know 1 member here (in person) and wouldnt mind taking money... i mean playing with others lol. anyway GL.

yeah the multis at rockford charitable are good...there are many good players some of which have cash at the world series as wee as a couple there that have been in top 5 at HPT events...I like both the multis

wow awesome place went to chicagoland speedway last year talk about runnin into some party animals i was lucky to get home.

almost went again this year but had to run to vegas for business ended runnin a table there a couple hours made some good cash that night.

those are both the crappy charity games in the chicagoland area sorry to say hahaha. Go check out the http://www.chicagocharitablegames.com softest $1 $2 nl games around

Went to the rockford charity game finally. Played the $1-$2 nl 9 handed table. The play was pretty loose for the most part. I bought in with $60, worked it up to $90 then my KK was beat by 1010 when they guy turned a set. There was a straddle and bunch of limpers so I pushed preflop and was called by one person.

I don't know how the guy made the call and so fcking fast, too. Kinda ridiculous, but I got up and walked away and that was that. Haha. I plan on going back soon. Very soon.

To bad you went out so fast Ron. Maybe one day I can meet you there and we can win some cash!!!!

Yeah for sure. I'm always down.
