I've been doing pretty good lately -- I cashed in the $120 buy-in bounty tournament last week at Ft. McDowell casino.
I'm really looking forward to Vegas in May, and am now making a stop on the way in Laughlin to play in the Ladies tournament at Golden Nugget! Stephanie

Yikes, it's been too long since I've visited this thread!
Thinker - did you make the trip in October? If so, how was it? I am considering going Feb 20th (President's Day) weekend. Locally, I've cashed in the last 3 of 4 casino tournaments I've played in. Twice in ladies tournaments, and my guy partner and I cashed in the Jack 'n Jill tournament at Casino Arizona two weeks ago! I'm playing in a tournament on Sunday that I qualified for by making one or more final tables, and Saturday will be my first time playing in a big stack, big bounty tournament ($100 bounties!)

Yes, we did go in October....played in the same Caesar's tournament we all played in that time. I made it to the final table and finished 8th. How has your tournament play been going? I just played in a big one here in Reno......finished 8th in that one too. Hmmm...gonna have to break through that number soon. We're going to Vegas in May and plan to play in at least one of the bigger buy-in tournaments......not sure where yet. Hope all is well...

I had hit a cold streak the last few weeks, but broke it last weekend when we chopped the remaining prize pool 7 ways in the ladies tournament at Casino Arizona (there were 111 players to start and they paid 10 places total). My buddy and I are playing in the Jack n Jill tournament next weekend - looking forward to that! I'll be in Vegas the first few days of June. Any chance you're going late in the month of May into June? It would be great to see you both again!

Wow, it is so nice to see this thread pop up. I am an avid poker player although I have been out of commission for a while now. I used to manage a 17 table card room here in Oregon but left the business about 5 years ago.
I surely miss Poker and Vegas, and Poker...

November is my birthday month...a birthday trip to Vegas is totally my idea of the BEST PRESENT EVER...
Celebrating a month early works for me too!!! I am terrible at creating plans...if someone else is better at this, please feel free. I could make down there Oct/Nov. I usually plan time off around that time of the year. PS Maybe we could see what kinds of tournaments are going on around then?? Anything semi big? I am not into large buy in tourneys, although I could definitely get into some satellite action. I am getting excited just thinking about it.

I don't mind working on the planning part, and Thinker being such a sweetheart would probably help (no pressure! LOL)
RedFlag, I'm sorry that time frame doesn't work for you The problem before that is August is the big Reunion bash, and people have a tough time making too many travel plans close together. For me, personally, September is an insanely busy month, so that's out, and anything sooner is going to conflict with plans I already have, or just be too close to other travel plans. Do you work weekends? What is the absolute last day you can take vacation? Maybe late Oct would work for everyone? RE: big series tournaments -- I don't know of any, and this is typically too soon for casinos to post them. There are plenty of daily tournaments with buy ins anywhere from $25 (I don't recommend those) to $250+. I like to play at the morning tournament at Caesars ... $65 buy in, usually about 4 to 5 tables, and Harrah's has decent daily tourny's as well $60 - $120 buy in. I really want to play at Binions my next trip! I said I would the last 2 trips but didn't. There are so many places to play, it's hard to choose! Thinker can chime in on this as well! I'll take a look at my schedule and post some suggested dates here - I hope we can make this happens, it would be so fun!

How about the weekend of November 3rd/4th? If that doesn't work, Nov 10th/11 or Oct 20/21. Unfortunately I have finals the weekend of Oct 27/28 so I can't make it then, and it might conflict with Halloween plans for anyone who celebrates it Might as well also mention that the weekend of Nov 3/4 is the weekend before Election Day if that matters to anyone.
Let me know if any of these dates look good for you all!

This is going to be a blast! As soon as we nail down the dates, I'll look into room rates

I love to play video poker but have never had the confidence to play at a poker table. What is the best way to learn the rules and etiquette for the game?
Thanks
