Response to Newsletter 705

[SteveSlot]

Hey Steve. Well deserved kudos on the most recent newsletter. It was very informative and the part about the City Center helped make another schedule adjustment for my December trip. The naked Southwest passenger story was very interesting. I hope to live the rest of my life without ever experiencing something like that.

I think it was just a matter of time, Hold 'Em. Many years ago, and seriously I mean like 10 years ago, I noticed that people would stand around and watch other people gamble. I mentioned to a friend, at that time, "There should be a gambling channel on TV. You would just be watching people gamble. I bet viewers would get into it." Of course, I meant slot machines but gambling is gambling.

A poker channel? Poker 24/7? Wow, and they said dreams don't come true. I hope direct TV has the channel. I have not had time to go through the whole news letter yet, now I will have to look for that part.

If I stop posting, someone call 911, they will find me in a coma in front of the TV.

My TV poker induced coma will have to wait.:D

I'm with you Ke - I will be watching 24/7, as it is now when we play our big home games, we keep the Series on, or the WPT, or Paft Dark, or something on. Oh I forgot High Stakes - especially when they have a marathon. I do have about 900 channels on satellite and I can usually find some kind of poker show to put on while watching TV. Maybe they will bring it to us soon. Just think - no flipping channels to find poker - it will be on all the time!!!:D

I finally got a chance to read Steve's newsletter all the way through. Great job and great information as usual. Thanks for keeping us all informed about all the happenings around town and what's going to be happening. Unreal about that Southwest flight - poor woman, I cannot imagine.

I Hate Hold'em - great info on the poker channel and Steve is right - unbelievable job finding all this stuff out. Keep us posted!!
