There are a decent amount of games around your area. Once you start meeting people you'll find out about other games very quickly.

You can also find a lot of games here: http://www.homepokergames.com/

There is also a game coming up this Saturday in Gardner MA hosted by a 2+2'er. I believe there are still a couple of seats open. Check http://www.triplethreatpoker.com for more details.

There are lots of games in the Worcester-Framingham-Ashland-Gardner area. Most of the ones I play in are tourney style, though there are plenty of cash games, too. Sent you a PM.

Just sent you a PM regarding a local game in your area.

Thanks for the mention MrMoo!

Kilgore puts on a great game in Worcester (although not held that frequently)

My game in Gardner www.triplethreatpoker.com was featured in Worcester Magazine and is a good time, although a bit of a drive for you.

I have a friend Henry who I believe posted on www.homepokergames.com recently about his home game in Framingham. I've only played one of his Friday night one-table tournies, but I pulled out first place after getting short-stacked.

I still have three spots for my $1/$2 NL cash game on the 21st in Worcester.

I know the Notorious G.N.U. can't make it, but I plan on shameless plugging at tomorrow's tourney.

Wish I could man, but the parents have to meet before the wedding. :P

Hey, we're down to friggin 10 people tomorrow. Had 16 plus 2 on the wait list, then one guy lost his job, another person couldn't get time off of work, another person had a death in the family, etc.

So if you've got people who would play, that's cool. Gotta know by 6pm tonight though, close down seating them.

10 on one table won't be too bad though, gotta take down that Sam Adams drinking Dan, he busted me last week with a terrible play and I have to hope he makes another mistake but doesn't get lucky this time. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
