How do you go about looking for games in your local area. I love online play but live play is just that much better.
There was an article in Cardplayer a while back that gave a couple of web sites that are just for the purpose of finding local home games... 'Course I don't remember what it was... I would think you could find a local web site. I live in the buffalo area and have two (www.buffalopoker.com & www.wnypoker.com). I'd think there would be some sort of www.ohiocitypoker.com out there. Try searching google.
Go on meetup.com and look for poker groups in your area.
If FTP had private RING games you could even line them up online and then may encoorparate a dealers choice by doing a couple tables and sittig out at the appropriate ones.
People post their games on craigslist.com sometimes. You could start your own with your friends and invite people via craigslist or find an existing game.
