  1. Hearing reports that Prime in Houston just got raided by the FBI today. No details out yet though.
  2. The Blue Indigo is the one true badass of Texas sneks.
  3. Geragos' daughter I think?
  4. Trying to get the got dam wrapper from clinging to your fingers after opening one of these m'effers!
  5. I stay there just because its free and take a cab to the side entrance of Bellagio for about $7 when I go to the Strip to play. The rooms are certainly not "nice" compared to the popular properties but adequate for sleep and a shower which is all I use them for. They are on par with the lower properties on the Strip - Flamingo, Harrah's, Bally's etc. If you're gonna be by yourself it's fine. If your wife or gf is gonna be with you I would spend for the Strip somewhere.
  6. Anyone moved any small liquid savings into Ally or Marcus type platforms that are offering up to 2.5% interest on savings accounts versus the traditional banks giving practically nothing? Pro's Con's?
  7. Covers included: Black Sabbath - Changes Allman Bros - Whipping Post Tom Petty - Southern Accents Merle Haggard - Are the Good Times Really Over Townes Van Zandt - The Catfish Song
  8. JJ Grey and Mofro tonight in Houston at the HOB.
  9. Thanks for the heads up, I was wondering if they would be available. By the looks of all your pics I'm sure I can find something else to make it worth the trip.
  10. I'm coming in about 6:30 this evening. I've got to try the Thursday special.
  11. Prime consistently has the most tables and action and most centrist location. Mint in Clear Lake has good action especially on weekends (6-8 tables). I've been playing at the Poker Club at West Side (I-10 west of Mason) due primarily to convenience. Always one table of 1-3 that plays more like a 6-6-6 after dark due to straddles. Usually two full tables on weekends. They offer daily tournaments but hardly ever get more than one table - not a huge focus on them and almost no crossover play to cash after the tournaments. The new Freerolls in Katy has been flopping so far. Beautiful room but has been a clown show since opening. Hopefully they can get it together.
  12. Anyone been to Killen's new Mexican spot, TMX yet?
  13. The Steel Woods - Hole in the Sky, Sabbath
  14. Double guns up for Mrs. Wells
  15. ^^^^ That is an epic trip to say the least. Lifetime is more like it.
  16. I've played with him a few times this past year. Good guy so I'm glad for him. That's a very nice score.
  17. You'll find varying opinions on this one but I would answer you with a "both". I prefer to go into a room/game with at least 3/4 buyins in pocket and always match the high stack at the table up to $800 or so in a 1/3 game (unless its a brand new table). If the table is established and $800/$1000 is the high stack I will match and then keep another two/three standard buyins ($300/$400) in pocket. I am always willing to play every dollar I bring to a game so I don't have any concerns about going back into the pocket to add on if the high stacks at the table continue to get bigger. Some people prefer to keep smaller stacks on the table with backup in pocket. I don't subscribe to that theory, I want the most chips in play as possible when the nuts come around, especially in some of these crazier Texas card rooms these days. I feel like Vegas poker is a lot more standard and have way less maniacs so I don't mind a smaller stack strategy there.
  18. Doyle Bramhall II tomorrow night at the Continental Club in Houston.
  19. No, not a Spinner (see below), its missing the black tips on pectoral and bottom of the caudal fin. I'm thinking its a Finetooth but possibly a Sharpnose.
  20. Took the youngest boy surf fishing on "Lake" Sargent on Saturday. Three bulls went 33", 36" and 38". The smaller two he caught drifting in the kayak past the 3rd bar with fresh whole whiting and the last one was caught on the shark rod from the beach with a 10" whole whiting. It was a fun day. Out there for over 4 hours and I probably spent no more than 20 minutes in a chair, wore my ass out.
  21. Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised with the OSU game but there is no way I'm buying 10-2. They'll have to prove it to me one game at a time.
