Cincinnati Area Card Rooms

[deathtoau]

I am going to be working out of Cincinnati for a little over a month this summer and was wondering if anyone knows of any poker games in the area?

Thanks

Caesars is the only one with poker, unless things have changed. And thats a good 2 hours from Cincy.

Andd the rake there is even worse now that they drop for a jackpot. If you plan on making any money there, you'd better play 10/20 or better.

used to live in the cincy area.

there are rumors that the Grand Vic (about 40 mins from Cincy) is going to add a poker-room....but just rumors and no immediate plans to my knowledge.


the closest poker-room is Caesar's in Louisville which is about 2 hours away. didn't know the rake was as bad as was mentioned.


Tunica (south of memphis) is probably about 7-8 hours for you if you want to make a long weekend trip. 5 poker-rooms down here.

because of the lack of 'real' poker-rooms in cincy area, you may have a little luck finding a good home-game if you happen to meet the right people.


i think most of your fun times will have to be of the non-poker variety in Mt. Adams, Covington/Newport and other bar/club spots of the area.
or you can hang-out at the BJ and 3-card poker tables at the Argosy Casino in Lawrenceburg.

Mt. Adams is full of yuppies trying to park SUV's in parking designed for cars no bigger than Geo Metro's and then paying $8/drink for watered down drinks.

Nothing good in Covington, but the Newport Levee is pretty nice, albiet expensive. Cincinnati does not have a NYC/Chicago style club scene. Most of the bars are more of a neighborhood type.

Yeah, if you can afford $10 or $15 mins on everything. Which I can't. If you are going to play BJ or other table games, I recommend Grand Victoria which is a little farther, but usually has $5 mins.

BTW, to the original poster or anyone else interested in a home game, msg me.
