615 miles. Driving from Alabama for my first. Going to hit some poker in Indianapolis and Des Plaines since I skipped my annual Vegas WSOP trip for this.

tmoore_25 · 07-18-2023, 07:23 AM

Driving 925 miles with my 13 year old son from New Bern, NC to Chicago, IL. He loves baseball and this will be his first card show he has attended. Every other show from this point on will be a disappointment.

kltomek · 07-18-2023, 08:46 AM

558 miles. Wedding present to myself, haha. Big day is Sept 30

Nah, I've been married almost 35 years and this is probably at least my 10th National (maybe more)
My wife is incredibly tolerant of my collecting!

Not sure how the poker scene is in Indy but the room at Rivers is a wild room. Lots of money to be made there if you can calculate pot odds and know how many outs you have.....

For me about 40 minutes depending on traffic....

Sounds good. I used to play the game semi professionally, but there are usually easier ways to make money.
