Re: Isle 1/11/13
Larry your pics always put me in the mood to go gambling. Shame on you!
My sincerest apologies for providing "temptation". I've tried living vicariously through everyone else's pictures but it so difficult to live life that way.
Here's hoping you are a stronger person than I am. I'll go at the slightest suggestion versus working on the "honey do list"....

you must play everyday keep up the nice "family pictures"
Three or four times a month is too often sometimes.
On-the-other-hand, I wish Texas would wise up and get "legalized casino gambling". Having a couple good casinos in the Houston/Galveston area would be beneficial: keep my money closer so I could visit it more often, save on gas money and the two hour drive; , save Sweet C from cooking (free buffet right!), might even increase the visits to in-laws since the most likely spots are close to where family lives.

Great little streak there LL and Sweet C. Belated congrats to you both, I have been a bit under the weather recently and I just haven't felt like posting. Must be something with breaking your fever that gave me the sudden urge to post.
Keep them hits coming in 2013.

Ted,
Hope you get to feeling better and it not anything serious. You are in our thoughts.

Thanks Jack.
Would like to have more days like this versus the bad ones that I don't enjoy as much. But, I think I remember hearing that "even a blind hog can find an occasional acorn.." or was "it hope springs eternal" or something like that!

We are blessed our Isle in Lake Charles has some great pay tables and the 5¢ multi-hand is 98% returns and one machine has 9/6 JOB. You really have to know which machines have the best games.

LL: I agree! I always see so many Texas license plates in the parking garage at L'auberge....when will Texas wake up and realize the money being lost?? Never gambled at the Isle, will maybe try that next. When are you and Sweet C planning your next trip to Vegas?

jack,
We only head to Vegas on special occasions due to flight costs and other travel. Besides we're only two hours from LC and the trip is so easy once a week. Were headed over to Isle tomorrow for the night and then again over Valentines Day for two days if the bank roll holds out. Would love to meet. Perhaps we can set up LC gathering in the future.
What denominations/games do you play? I would highly recommend trying the Isle. Its not as crowded as LDL, the rooms (Tower-remodeling finished last month) are equal to LDL as far as we're concerned. The whole place is so much friendlier because they have to try harder and you're not just a number. Let me know when you think you'll go to Isle and I'll send the names of several former LDL hosts who now work at Isle. They came over when the CFO at LDL took over Isle and love bringing in LDL players to Isle.
BTW: Starting February, Isle will giving 4X play on all Tuesdays so VP will be at 2X. I'll probably have to change my part-time university schedule to accommodate from Sunday 2X to Tuesdays.

LL: Thanks for the info!! I usually play DDB and DW......25 cent and if I'm ahead, will go to $l.00. Head to Vegas 3 to 4 times a year, sometimes to be in the VP tournaments thru Harrah's. Going in Feb, but staying at Aria this time.
You must live in Houston if you are only 2 hours away. I'm in New Braunfels, so it takes us 4 to 5 hours, so it's almost easier to get on a plane for 2.5 hours to Vegas.
I will go the the Isle next time for sure, as the machines at LDL are VERY tight last several times we went. Would love to meet up at some point...
take care and keep winning!!

Nancy,
Check your Messages. I talked to one of the Isle hosts, former LDL host, and alerted them that you might contact them if you head this way. You might make contact to establish a link.
