Ed,
I was there both Saturday and Sunday. Picked up another copy
of "Win Poker" after the class for half off. My old copy got lost.
After the class on Saturday, Brian (marksalot)and Deb, Winnie and
Fai, (vpFree posters?) myself and old VP Pappy, Bob Dancer and
Shirley, went across the street to the New Parthenon for a Greek
dinner. I offered to belly-dance on the tables, but everyone said
No! No! So I just sat there, quietly and ate my flaming Gyro and
cheese. OPA!. It was fun.
The classes were informative and will help the beginner to get a
head start on 9/6 Jacks or Better. But, like they say in
advertising, "Your results may vary."
Luck will ultimately decide wether you win or lose even playing
the game correctly. But, you have to play correctly to get into the
best possible position to be lucky.

Bob and Shirley are both very nice, down-to-earth people who make
you feel very comfortable being around them. I was my usual quiet,
introspective, timid self and hardly said a word all weekend....Ya,
right. Bob took a lot of kidding from me about our bet on how many
royals will be on the board at the Greektown Tournament and always
had a quick retort.
Over the years, I've met quite a few gambling guru personalities
and have found them to be normal people just like you and me, (well,
maybe you) except that Dolores and I have never made a million
dollars in one year playing video poker, like Bob and Shirley have.
Although one year I just missed by $999,999.
Oh, yeah...I played dollar and quarter Pick'Em for about 12 hours
over the weekend and have four tickets for the tournament already,
And I won a few hundred also. All in all, a fun weekend.
