At Canterbury, the 8/16 game really is the place to be. The maniacs are usually out in full force and if you catch any cards at all you should do pretty well. The most passive games are probably at 3/6 and 4/8, but you shouldn’t even waste your time. They are so passive and so careless that if the rake doesn’t beat you, you’ll get outdrawn enough to just hover around even. You have to have stupendous cards to win at 3/6. For instance, there was one night where I was getting great cards (I had quads four times-four times!) but I was getting outdrawn so often in other hands that I only cashed out up $100 after 7 hours.

Minnesota isn’t that bad, and it’s a lot better than Virginia. I moved here 7 years ago from Florida and haven’t regretted the decision at all. I didn’t even plan on staying more than 2 years. The place just kind of grows on you. There is just something about it that feels like home no matter where you came from.
