I'll be visiting family in Iowa in December, and I was wondering if there are any poker rooms in the area anybody could recommend while I'm there? I'll be centered in eastern Iowa (cedar rapids / iowa city area), but will have a car and would be willing to travel a few hours to find a game.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Prairie Meadows, in Des Moines, spreads 3/6 and 1/2NL all the time - it also runs 2/5NL, 5/10PL, 4/8, 6/12, 10/20 HOE, and 15/30 (HE or mixed) on occasion, as well as 6/12 o/8.

It is also more like 90 minutes west of Iowa City, not even close to 2.5 hrs.

Tama is closer, but the games there have been dying since PM opened - look for 2/4 HE, sometimes 3/6 or 4/8, sometimes 1-5 stud, 4/8 o/8 or higher HE/Omaha games on rare occasions.
