Went to Harrah's last night after flying in from Charlotte, NC. I was in Charlotte helping train some our new sales folks, and did not do too much while I was there but work. I stayed at this cool hotel there. It seems that Hilton has purchased Amerisuites and they has just finished the upgrades. The room had a 42" plasma TV, sectional sofa and the bed was extra comfortable. They had the expensive mattresses and triple sheeted with comforters...etc. You know I travel alot when I am going on about a hotel room.... ;-). There was also a "Jocks and Jills" sports bar in the parking lot. Those of you from that area know there are no Casinos near there, so I haven't played since the weekend....back to poker.
I called "Wild Bill" and we decided to get together for a beer and talk about www.gulfcoastpoker.net as we having been changing formats and experimenting with different interfaces ...etc. We are getting hits from all over the country. We want to thank all you guys for coming check out our site. Our traffic has really been picking up lately. We also have several other people that are interested in blogging on the site. Our thoughts are that we would at least like to meet the person before we put them up on the site. We also discussed some different options for the GCP Championship next month as far as housing. It seems the Beau has been completely sold out for months. We discussed several options with Raceland Bryan and his buddy Eddie. We are thinking of trying to get a bunch of us together and rent a house or a condo. Turn it into a poker "Crash House" like those guys do in Vegas. We had a couple of other ideas also, and we are open to ideas if anybody has any.
We both bought in a 1-2 game for $200.00 as we happen to be there right when they opening a new game as $200.00 is the max buy-in. We decided we were going to play for a couple of hours and then get out winner or loser. Bill got Aces twice and was able to mount a push, but I didn't get anything to play with. I dumped $65.00 in one hand where I had big slick offsuit, and had to fold after a big bet after the turn as a straight was on the board. In the next hour I dumped about $50.00 in limping and calls trying to hit a hand. I got felted on a hand where I held K-Qo and called a $15.00 pre-flop raise. Flop came Kd7s4d, and come to find out we all had a king. We got it all in there after a 2c came on the turn. We turn them up and one guy had Big Slick suited and the other had Kh2d for 2 pair...great...I was the third best hand.
Cashed out my money on Neteller. I went with the check option. I now wonder how long it will take them to send it to me. I will keep you guys posted on their speediness. I hope it gets here before the GCP Championship...it would be sweet to add to my Bankroll.
I just finished reading this crap about Phil Laak and some Thailand fiasco...what crap. I am embarrassed to post it up on here, but suffice to say if you do a search with phillaak...and thailand...with maybe a "Dash" between them...and something like ..."dot com"...you can get there. I am sure that our resourceful readership will find it.

Touchey! , Gened and crew with Gulfcoastpoker.net. It seems we have been out done and our site is struggling at .com . Kevin wont seem to get off his ass and I am not going to do all the work for him. Its not over yet but you guys have taken the first round with your team of seasoned professional poker players and analyists, you give people a reason to check out your blogs. We are going back to the drawing board. If your out there T-Claude I apologize about our forum closing.
Ps. I was a "Brokeback Mountain" movie
I am enjoying the site. I like the new bloggers. Love to do what I can to make it grow if I can.
I went to the Amelia Belle on Saturday. Slow as most days 3-6-12 1st table opened at 5pm. I played 4.5 hours...Finished up 300. I seem to still be running better than I should be there in the limit game..L
I also got my neteller money this week. I did the wire to my bank account option. It was there within 2 days. Faster than I thought.
It was good to see Raceland Bryan and Eddie there. When i had to cash out, I left early too (up at 4:30 am Saturday), I saw them both sitting on big stacks. Eddie told me he was focused in on this guy to his right who had money to throw around and dumbly gotten lucky ealry. As I'm leaving I go back Eddie's got over a g and that guys sitting on around 200.
