Re: Poker in New Orleans
a couple years ago sopme guy posted a conversation he overheard at the Cafe Du Monde (famous coffee-shop in the French Q. probably 10-20 minute walk from Harrah's and the Convention Center).
Two obvious out-of-town conventioneers are chatting..
one guy tells the other: have you been to the casino yet? I was thinking of heading over there to play some poker.
second guy: poker huh? do they have Texas Hold-em?
first guy: yeah. I think so. I'd like to try it. It looks pretty easy to me.
second guy: I've seen it on TV and I KNOW I could play better than those guys do. It looks like fun. Lets head over there.
Evidently the guy who overheard the conversation had already promised his wife that he wouldn't spend their trip at the casino. She had to practically strap him down in the chair to keep him from following.
Indeed Patrick is correct.
The number of first-timers and totally clueless tourists/conventioneers at these games in New Orleans is sometimes just not to be believed.
