I have been in a bit of a funk the last couple weeks. I am really bored with online poker. I have not played but a few sng's, and when I have played I have lacked the focus to actually play my game. Which as we all know, leads to lost money. I have really been wanting to play live as of late. There are a few problems with this. First is that in Minnesota there is no live no-limit cash action. Canterbury park only runs limit poker and a few no-limit tourneys. The closest place to play no-limit in a casino is in Turtle Lake Wisconsin, which is only an hour and a half drive. Turtle Lake runs 1/2 and 2/5 no limit. It is by far and away the softest no limit game I have played in a casino. It consists of mostly locals that really have no idea how to play. I haven't been out to TL for a while for a lot of different reasons. I just bought a house and am getting married in Las Vegas in November.
My once healthy poker roll is now being used for other things which have taken priority in my life. There was a time that I always made sure that I had a roll big enough that I did not need to worry about variance at the stakes I played. I am not saying that I am done playing poker, I am just saying that until I get done with the things that are important to me right now, poker is going to have to take a back seat. I am very excited to do the things to our house that make it "ours", and as far as the wedding goes, I could not be more excited for that. I would spend every nickel that I have ever made playing cards, for the oppertunity that I have right now with the women I love. So if anybody plans on being in LV in early November, feel free to stop by the Flamingo and the first drink is on me.
When will the desire return to play seriously online? When is the next time I will play some actuall live poker? I can't answer these questions, and to be honest I don't really care. I am happy where I am at right now.
Talk to you later.....

I've been really itching to play live too. Another NL option is Iowa. Diamond Joe's is just past the border south of Albert Lea, but that would be a drive for you. I've been to Turtle Lake before and would like to try there card room. The last time I was the waiting list was forever.
I let you know if I find any games.
To keep my poker money separate from my life money, I've got an account at a bank strickly for poker, but then again, I'm already in a house with a wife and 2 kids. You've got good priorities right now.
It must be the weather????
If you haven't read it yet, I'm hanging up my chips for a while myself.
In a funk indeed!
