Moving to The Midwest!!!

[losercore]

Hey all,

I know there are a lot of Mid-Westerners here and I just got a job offer in Madison, WI and will be moving there shortly. I'm coming from Southern California so I know the family is going to enjoy the cold weather

I went to school in Alaska so cold weather and ice and snow are just something to get used to.

But what about poker? I know they have a few casinos in Wisconsin but I hear poker is looked down on more in the Mid-West than out here. Is this true? Any body from WI and wan't to give me some feedback about doing affiliate business and playing poker there?

Thanks

BTW I went through Rockford, IL this weekend while out there and was thinking this was where Jermey's from? I may be wrong here but I gave you a shoutout from the highway anyway...

I am originally from the midwest( Illinois), as far as poker being "frowned upon" dont sweat it. Madison is full of poker players(homegames/college). Phil Hellmuth played the homegame circuit for years in Madison ( and other Wisconsin towns) before he won his first WSOP title.
You wont find "real" poker rooms the size of the ones in SoCal, but there are a few smaller ones around, though now sure how close to Madison anymore.

Thanks Caz,

Anyone know anything about being an affiliate there? I know they have some Internet gambling stipulations but what about Affiliates?

I haven't gone to jail yet.... There are some poker rooms around there. I think Ho-Chunk Indian Reservation might have a poker room now. If not Green Bay has a casino that I am certain has a poker room.

Likewise Harrahs in Chicago/Indiana has one. All these are nice day trips from Madison.

I live in IL, the only think I know about gambling in WI is that you can gamble when you are 18 at the indian casinos up there
