What a great time last weekend at Belterra. It was great to see old friends once again and the opportunity to meet new ones.
I got to the casino around 6 PM on Friday night and after I checked in, found Jack, Dawgball, Dunclock and Fat Daddy Cool in the bar... no surprise there :142smilie
Caught up with Andy for a few minutes and then we all headed down to the Poker Room to get signed up for the 7 PM tournament. Ran into Handicapper (love this guy!) and found out he had already cashed in a tournament earlier that day. I don't know if someone pulled some strings, but initially we were told that the registration had been closed. Next thing I know I'm buying in to the tournament and sitting with FDC, Dawg and Dunclock. Lasted for about an hour... my pocket Queens ran into pocket Kings. Visited with and watched 6-5 play at the next table over for a few minutes.
Was playing some low limit poker when Nole walked over and introduced himself to me. How he could pick me out of a room full of people is amazing :mj07: He brought 2 putt Tommy and his gorgeous wife Amanda over and introduced them to me. Amanda sat down at the table a short time later and I don't think my eardrum has recovered yet. She is one LOUD lady!
There was a large group of Madjackers hanging out up front and 6-5 finally was able to drag me away from losing all of my money at the poker table. Was waiting to cash out and saw Bohawk and called him over and we visited for a few minutes. Started to head back up front and ran into Wineguy and Angela. Had a great conversation with them and after a while we all went up front to join the rest of the group.
Bobby, Smurph, GMroz, ScubaSteve (Handicapper's buddy) and the rest of the crew were already in rare form. Met Bohawk's brother JoeBo as well as Handicapper's lovely wife. My good buddy Kosar was cute as ever sitting on a bar stool against the wall taking it all in. We caught up for a few minutes and then Wineguy brought me a special treat... Liquid Gold that is. Crown Royal Cask #16. Smooth like buttah I think I said several times.
After that bar closed down, those of us left headed on down to the other bar still open and I had a great time getting to visit with Fat Daddy Cool. Let me tell you folks something... this guy is as good as they come. Genuine, friendly and one funny dude! I really enjoyed getting to visit. Was just sorry that I couldn't keep my eyes open past 3:30 AM.
Will go over Saturday's events a bit later.
As FDC says... hope this helps. :SIB
