I'm glad you've improved your lifestyle, and I sincerely wish you the best of luck, stay away from the BJ and video poker.

I did read the thread, and people might be a bit paranoid about letting someone they only know from a message board into their hotel room to shower, just as you're paranoid about letting a woman into your room with your cash.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck sir.

Tony you need to head down to FL, no BJ or Video Poker. Casinos typically spread low limits and the fish are plentiful.

Let me know if you head down in this area.

Yes, but we all have it worse than some and better than some. I can't imagine how tough it would be to be homeless and have no car. But he's still living the poker dream (playing all the time) that we all have...

I remember Tony. He used to play at the card room I frequent in Iowa. He was there all the time, day and night. Then all of a sudden he was gone. I was told he got banned, but I don't remember why.

He is a real character...

Which room?
Now i seem to recall that he got banned from the President years ago for trying to stow away so he didn't have to sleep outside ( it was cold then).

would anyone at that boat still be employed there from 15 years ago? [censored] i was a young kid then. if i walked in there today none of the managers and hardly any dealers would even know who i was. also i would like to contact the dealer ""richard"" who worked there 15 years ago when Susan used to run the room. i seen her in ceasers on vacation in AC NJ this summer. i owe richard $50 and need to pay him.

played last nite at the casino in newkirk oklahoma, won about $71 but was stuck over $200 once. roy drove me there. hate the way the minimum buyin was $100 instead of less. seems to be quite common for OK rooms. FL would DEFINITELY be the place to go. i went there once in winter of 2003 for 3 months, mostly hung out at the seminole near ft laud. at the time the max bet was only $2. i arrived at the amtrak station near the miami airport in early jan 2003. lost my wallet with my state id at the airport which pissed me off royally. had no way to replace it cause i was born in canada and didnt have a birth certificate with me either. but i didnt have my cash in my wallet it was in my sock and was about $650. without my state ID i couldnt rent motel rooms, or get paid if i hit a big jackpot.
played daily all day them low limits for about 2 months, and eventually left FL for biloxi with about $1300 and eventually got a birth certificate sent off for and an ID made there, when i guy rented me a room for $75 a week in his mobile home who i met in the COPA poker room in gulfport. just goes to show u what can happen if ur on the road and lose all ur id.

u wouldnt be letting someone into ur room uve only known from a message board u would be letting someone in uve known from playing poker with a few hours. u wouldnt even need to be there, i could be in there for 10 min to shower as ur checking out. things like this can easily be worked out. and remember the 3rd option, u could claim im staying with u even though im not just so id be allowed to use the SPA. the reason homelessness is so pervasive in this country is people dont really wanna get involved in providing the personal attn and help thats most needed. they feel its easier to hand them 50c or yell out the window of their car "go [censored] apply at mcdonalds"

i fully agree with this post. NO BJ or video poker in FL, (unless of course u go on an offshore boat) which i didnt do, since i had no ID when i was last there. now i might wanna go on some boats since i got ID. florida is a very wonderful place for people with low bankrolls. $40-100 NL all over the place, and maybe theres an even lower buyin im not aware of for NL? if u know please tell me. also i hear the hard rock still has $2-5 stud and it goes ALL 24 hours every day and never breaks up. i plan to come to FL early Feb of 2008 to tampa area. all i need to do is figure out where i can get a very good price of rooms by the week connected to both the bus line and the busline near the casino. i definitely agree FL is full of fish and people just give their money away, i even saw dealers at coconut creek getting $5 in tips a lot in even $1-2 games with everyone in every pot in the hilo omaha in 2003.

would like any assistance u can supply about tampa motels cheap places to live, buses and where else to find good stud games, stud hilo games omaha hilo games, and the absolute cheapest NL games. with a $3000-4000 roll i hope to have i may have 50-100 buyins which would be wonderful, and id expect to clear over $2000 a month in profits easily.(am getting $1869 on jan31 from the US govt) and thats why im waiting for then to travel.
