Long Island Poker Clubs

I've found only one publicized cardroom (www.fishstreetpoker.com) in Hicksville and I am a little weary about just showing up and knocking on the door.

I am very torn between getting "any" action, meaning playing with friends and family who I can't chase out [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] and "logical" action with players who know how to fold pre flop when they have 72o. Quite frankly, I am not getting any better playing with the latter. I am at the point now where I only want to play with organized players.

This might either get me some hits or ban me for life..but I have to ask. Can someone point me in the right direction for getting some decent action? I am not in the position to go to Foxwoods or AC on a weekly basis, but I am serious about playing.

Please excuse the question if it's out of line. Sources have told me some forums keep their poker club lists under lock and key. I apologize if this is the case and I should be asking under PM.
