I just finished the GTC Primer course last weekend in Memphis. Still very much a rookie but I am headed to Downtown Vegas with 3 friends to belly up to a Crap table. If you're going to be there give me a shout. We are staying at the Downtown Grand and will be tossing the dice at Main Street, Las Vegas Club, Downtown Grand, Four Queens, and likely the Nugget. No specific times that we will be at any one casino in particular but if you are around, respond to this and we'll figure out how to hook up.

Happy Derby!

BoneCrusher,

Derby week end can be a crazy week end in Vegas. You may find crowded tables making it impossible to get your spots and higher limits. It may be best to play at off hours, extremely early in the morning or around dinner time when folks are away from the tables.

Remember the casinos will always be there. Don't get wrapped up in the excitement to try your new talents so that you play too long or out of position. You will have plenty of opportunities to play in the next 20 - 50 years or so.

If you are at a crowded table and have to wait a long time to get to throw the dice you can be worn out before you even get a chance to shoot. Pace yourself and only play when you are rested and conditions are optimal for you.
