Default update

well im scheduled to attend class starting on january 31st and my wife suprisenly is backing me 100% which is awsome. She is scarred as shit and frankly so am I (just dont tell her that). Gonna put in for vacation time at current job for 2 weeks so I can get through the classes. Maybe ill deal for some of you and Vegas hehe. Probolly wont see me posting as much next couple weeks need to bear down and crank out the overtime. Hopefully my mom dosent totally freak out, she has helped my wife and I so much. She will be the hardest one to tell. The cost is $699.00 which includes the hotel and he told me after I graduate he will help me find a job which is nice of them. Thanks again for all the encouragment it is much appritiated. Wont be spending any real money on poker next couple weeks also which sucks but its for a good cause.

Default Wishing you the best …

And I don’t want to be negative. But, man, that’s tough decision. Second hand smoke, abusive customers, drawing the graveyard shift three weeks in a row, getting a flat tire on the way home from work when it is 112 degree out.

I love Vegas – maybe too much. I go about four times a year, and spend a whole lot of the rest of the year looking forward to the next trip. But the reason I love it so is my time is divided between poker tables/strip club/night club/Bellagio buffet (in something close to that order). If I was living there, it would be a whole different story. Without enough self-discipline, I could see myself getting in a lot of trouble fast.

Good luck to you – hope you knock ‘em dead, and please keep us posted.

Really? Hasn't the US gone along with the rest of the world and banned smoking in public places?

Here in Australia, smoking is banned in all casinos, nightclubs, restaurants, bars, pubs, etc.

In a litigious society like the US, isn't allowing smoking in public places opening up a huge can of worms?

Most card rooms are non smokeing but the casino itself you can smoke. Only a select number of casinos allow smoking in card rooms.

Default Smoking

True -- most of the nice Vegas rooms are non-smoking now, which I love. My local card room in Seattle WA is awful -- six out of 10 players puffing away, and low ceilings, so it all just hangs the air. I come out just reeking.
