limit texas holdem?
any good books on limit? Ive been beating a B&M 10/20 game for a while. Im making really good money. I want to go pro. Im gonna give it a shot. Anyone else grinding limit games? NL was my game, but my local casino has had limit for a year now, and there are a few players who are better then me and seem to win most times as well. I figure if i can beat it here i can beat it anywhere? (vegas dreams in my head hah)
i know the net is where the real money is…..(multitabling…way more hands per hour) but i really like live poker. PS if i was making 30k or more a year, id be living the dream…and im on pace for 75 this year. (a G a week is not that much in a looseish 10/20) thoughts?
palace station las vegas pool?
Has anyone been to the palace station casino in vegas recently? How was your experience there? How do I book one of those newly renovated rooms instead of one of the old ones? How was the pool at that hotel? It is cheap to book right now that is why I am asking. Thanks everyone!!

I booked my vacation at the Westin My Lucya, but have been reading such awful reviews.
I’ve read the place is deserted, with most of it’s facilities closed, a casino that is impossible to win at, high crime, deserted marketplaces. I was looking for rest and relaxation but fear we might now be bored for a week with nothing to do. Anyone been there lately? We’ll be going the second week of Sept.
Where can I find info on las vegas penthouses for booking for a few days?
I’m trying to find a penthouse in a casino in las vegas (preferably on the strip) that has three bedrooms and can house up to 15 people. I’m looking to book this thing 2.5 months in advance (for the summer). My budget is around $500-$600 for 4 nights. This is for me and my gf’s birthday. It’s extravagant for a reason.
Does anyone know where I can get info for this easily, or any direct information? Thanks a lot!

Casino Royale?
I am amazed by people’s comments on this movie. Its all most as if they didnt know what it was till the day it hit theatres.
It was never supposed to be your typical Bond movie.
No Q
No high tech toys
No Bond Girls
So get over it all ready.
it was a great movie.
They wanted to do a new look to Bond, based on a book that was just as simple
ummm most bond girls dont die
and i dont seem to recall his car having heat seaking missiles or anything else we always see.

I have written off the Pats this season, so I have much more free time. Do kids like to play games or read?
I used to have to prepare for hours for the games. Sometimes the parties were at my house, sometimes at elsewhere. So there was lots of preparation time, clean up, decorating, shopping, etc.
I now have many more hours of disposable time. I did not realize my boys have grown so much. What kind of things should I do with them?
I looked at their collection of games and books. The last games I played with them was Candyland and Chutes & Ladders. They laughed at me when I suggested playing those. They said they were playing Trivia Pursuit European edition, and Clue. Also, they are very sharp Poker players. They have won several computer Texas Hold’ Em tournaments.
So, should I just start having them play with us on poker nights? They are still way too young to get into the casino.
What other things can I do to spend quality time with them now?
I mean Brady will be back next season, so I can’t look long term.

Norwegian Dawn – Cruise Ship – Tips and Advice?
I will be going on the Norwegien Dawn cruise ship this May. It is my first cruise but I will be going with people who have already gone cruising before and love it.
I am looking for any tips or advice from people who have been on the Dawn before – Best/Worst things to do? Best/Worst food to try? I would especially like to hear any tips that cannot be found in a travel book – things I wouldn’t know otherwise.
The cruise will be going to Bermuda and Nassau, Bahamas so please tell me of any great excursions or fun things to do at those places that are available through the cruiseline. (or tell me what not to do as well!)
Also, does anyone know the casino age requirement and the drinking age on the Dawn? (please answer this only if you’ve been on it in the past few months or work for the cruiseline).
Thanks!
