Not me. I've got plans to win the TW Third Bullet Bounty Killboard contest, winning that spiffy TW T-shirt and having it to wear at next years WSOP, which I assume will be in Vegas.
But you brought up some fond memories that I had in Biloxi in my mind. Spent a good bit of my first marriage's honeymoon there. Also, over the years as a truck driver, I managed to get there a few times.
The casinos there are first rate. Of course at that time, I was poker ignorant. But I will never forget the time, as a single truck truckdriver, I made $1,000 on the slots, then went to go learn Baccarat. I met a very precious lady friend, as we both proceeded to laugh and cry about our lack of knowledge of the game. She had about a $1,000 also. we both doubled that over many hours, then we proceeded to lose every cent.
The two of us had struck up a mutual attraction, if you know what I mean. On the way out of the casino, and by the way, we were quite drunk, we passed that slot machine that had won me $1,000 earlier. Taking one of my last dollars, I stuck it in, and damned if it didn't line up the 3 "special" symbols for the Jackpot. The shame was, you had to have put $3 in to get that. Still we won $1,000. Life was very good that night.
This story has a very sad end. Her and I hit it off quite well. Oh the plans we made. I returned to work, and had about a weeks worth of great phone conversations with her. Then her line went dead. No answers for days. I was off in California. Her mother finally answered and told me the news that my casino lady had died in a head one wreck with a drunk truck driver. Life was very bad that night.
I seem to have gotten off track. I love Biloxi. I am sure that someone, somewhere, is smiling kindly on your endeavours there. please keep us updated.
