Dairy Queen > Fritz's and Ted Drews' I'm not much of a frozen custard fan, though I can stand it if I have no other choice. But anyway....

I'd be down for a meet and greet sometime in the future. It'd be nice to meet other poker players.

Im at ameristar a lot, not too much lately that summer is here, but we definetly should all get together for a night of poker/Hustlers strip club.

while i haven't been to to the hustler, i have been into the lobby and promptly walked away. everything about it looked like a dump compared to diamond cabaret.

i was on a business trip 2 months ago in st.louis and visited the ameristar my last day.

My observations about the lack of skill there is the same. Many guys just out for fun, playing many hands, raising when they catch their cards, not understanding that kickers factor in.

One guy nearly blew his lid when the turn checked to me and i bet my straight draw, then caught it on river. He said keep betting with nothing, and i'll be taking your money...and the rest of table was in consesus with him.

Anyways, played about 2 hours of 5-10, built on my buyin from 200 to 460.

Then decided to try the 15-30 with kill game.

Brought my 460 there, and left 2 hours later with 1900.

I'm not going to say i didnt get a bit lucky along the way and catch some draws and trips to my pp's, but man it was probably the best single live poker session i ever had.
