When I was playing daily, in my "regular" room, it was about a 1/2 hour drive.
From my house, there are about 10 card rooms within a 45 minute drive. Tahoe, Reno, are 1 hour / 1.5 hrs respectively. Those were regular trips as well. (pre preggo wifey / baby quads / etc.) |

Home games: 50-55 min for away games, 0 for home games.
Casinos: several within 1.5 hrs (depending on traffic and construction), but it's been a while.
Longest trip: 15 hours to the Lone Star Roundup in Texas, thanks to a cancelled flight by American Airlines (and the airline folks think we don't continue to complain about long delays!). |

On average my rotating monthly game is about 45 minutes away. But since i have to go through the Harbor Tunnel in Baltimore and up 95 north during rush hour on a Friday, it can take anywhere from 45min-1.75 hours. August I am hosting, time for them to make the drive! |
