First Post What you can expect

There are six casinos with poker rooms within a thirty minute drive from my house mand I try to play in one of those every week. The games they spread run from a 1/2 NL to 5/10 limit. The Creek Nation Casino in Okemah holds a $20 buy-in and a $10 buy-in NL tournament on Tuesday nights. Unfortunately, that is my dart night and I run the tournament for the pub owner precluding me from participating in the poker tournaments.
For anyone in the area, or who may be visiting here soon, the $20 buy-in starts at 7:00pm and the $10 buy-in begins at 9:00. They have room for up to 60 players, with the $20 tournament almost maxing out (56 players in the 2nd week). The most for the $10 tournament has been 39 players according to the manager there. They have only been having them for about 3 or 4 weeks, so they are catching on quickly. They had a Freeroll last night for women only. I will be visiting there soon and will try to get some info on who won and when they might be having another for all the ladies out there.
Most of the area casinos only have a couple of tables running at any given time. You have to drive to Tulsa (about an hour away) to find the bigger action. The Cherokee Casino and Resort just East of Tulsa is by far the biggest and nicest Casino in the state. Great rooms, food, people and a Perry Maxwell designed golf course.
I'll be telling you about my online and in-house poker exploits in the days to come with some occasional drunk ramblings about darts. My favorite thing is to come home on dart night and play drunk-poker online at Full-Tilt or Party Poker. Some people have suggested I check out Noble Poker and probably will do that in the next week or so. The problem with most sights is they don't have software for my Linux based PC which I prefer for my online surfing. So all of you poker sites out there which require a download: GET A LINUX PORT FOR YOUR SOFTWARE!
That's it for now GW-out!
