From what I heard when my casinos class went there...their food and beverage director said that under no circumstances will they make the casino 21+, but they still want alcohol. I have a feeling that hard line stance makes negotiations exponentially harder. [/ QUOTE ] Casino Class? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

Re: Turning Stone: 6th Annual Empire State Hold\'em Championships
Post to all golfers out there:
Driverseati and I are booking a tee time for Monday August 13th early afternoon sometime (noon-2) at the Atunyote golf course if anyone wants to play. They're running a PGA Tournament on this course a month or so after the poker tourney series, so it'd be cool to play a PGA quality course. Just post here if you're interested, you'd have to skip the $325 bounty event, but that's a very skippable event. |

Re: Turning Stone: 6th Annual Empire State Hold\'em Championships
Do you think there's a chance that any pros come to this event?
Also, what sort of comps do you think I can get if I play in every event? EDIT: Any idea if there will be any sats into bigger tournaments? |

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, this is a recent rule. Just put any liquor you buy in a backpack or something when you bring it in. I'm sure a lot of the employees at TS could care less but I wouldn't risk going through the hassle in case you run into someone who does. |

Pretty sure I'll be going up, anyone have an open room?
IM me or whatever, I'm not a slob and I'm surprisingly normal despite any message board impressions you may have. |

Okay, all set on lodgings so no IMs/PMs necessary.
Now just need to figure out staking/getting robusto enough to play the 1k and 5k in two weeks. |
