Any CPF Regulars Want to Check Out Philly?

JimmyHo

I have a bunch of free return flights to Philadelphia and looking to get some people together who want to check out some of the poker rooms in the area. Apparently Philadelphia poker rooms are busier than most of the Las Vegas rooms on any given night.

I will take care of the flight cost which would be direct from Toronto (about 1.5 hours flight to Philadelphia) and we can work out a deal for a rental car. You would need to pay for your own room. Looking for regulars that like to play cash games, 2/5+ limits preferred. Looking to go in late August or early September, likely Thursday/Friday to Monday/Tuesday depending on flight availability.

PM if interested.

Here are some of the poker rooms in the Philly area:

Parx Casino (over 80 tables!) and 15 miles from Philadelphia

Sands Bethlehem (1.5 hours to Philadelphia)

Maryland Live ($1,000 high hand every 20 minutes every day in August)

I've always wanted to play Maryland live. That promo is only Aug 10-21 and hand has to be min aces full. Depending on how many tables they have, I don't see this fitting paid out too often...

Can't do August but September is a go! Early or late... Just not in the middle.

Google tells me Maryland live is a bit over 8 hours to drive from here. It is also more than an hour and a half from Philly international. You really aren't saving much time by flying when you factor in the drive to the airport, getting there 2 hours early, etc. The cost to drive from here is likely about the same as the cost to rent a car.

I guess a free flight is a free flight tho...

True, driving would be fine and I think Turning Stone is on the way.
