Hydrotrip: Casey Ray

Both my fiance Klinkman and I live in Tulsa, and go to college here. It'd be awesome to meet up at the casino sometime, although he does not turn 21 until November. You said you're only here until July? Maybe we can meet up somewhere else for a poker game or two if that sounds fun. I don't know how to play Omaha yet but my fiance does. Send me a pm sometime and we can arrange something if you're game! I can also talk to mathnerd3.14 and see if she wants to join us- she's also a member here but she doesn't post much, but she plays poker with us at college. Awesome to find a fellow NDN'er living so close!

Ya I stayed at the Cherokee on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night, the action really has slowed since Creek opened their new room, but Cherokee is also in the process of building a new room in the High Limit slot area, glassed in, like the Ameristar riverboat in St. Charles, my stomping grounds. If you have a disposable couple-few hundred dollars, the 300NLHE tables are soft, however, keep in mind advanced plays will yield little return, it's strickly a game of relentless aggression, which I wouldn't wager my roll on, or patience and value. No where in the middle proves to be very lucrative. I should be coming back down the weekend of the 26th, and we can throw some high fives for sure

One more thing, have you checked out the new Downstream casino on the Quapaw Res near Joplin? They have a 1/2 5 Rock HA game that would be great to introduce you to Omaha. There is a round of NLHE, and a round of PLO high, without increasing blind levels, of course (as it is a ring game). The blinds are 1&2 like a standard 200NL game, however, there is a 5 straddle rock (usually 5 $1 chips bundled with a band or tape) that stays out on the felt, and whoever dragged the previous pot is awarded position the subsequent hand Preflop. Essentially the preflop action starts to the left of the straddle rock, and future streets retreat to standard position. Furthermore, the initial buy-ins range from 100-200, however, as the game progresses and substantial stacks develop, it becomes a 75% game, where newcomers may load up to 3/4 of the big stack. It is an interesting twist, and good opportunity to learn PLO in a live setting, without being a complete railbird.

Thanks king i appreciate it. I am getting better at navigating and finding the things taht I am looking for. What exactly is the shoutbox, I noticed that you had said something about it but I havent figured that out or used that feature yet. But you are def right, NDN is a pretty good place to get your word out there, especially when there is some return, and a friendly community. Thanks again for the help -HT
