Thanks for all the tips. Some good bits of information.

I wish I could be at the convention this year, but it backs onto my family vacation and I can't do both. Next year is a different story. You can expect to see the Crazy Canuck there putting them away with the best of them.

That stuff y'all call beer is just water. You have to come up here for the 7.5% Old Stock. Either way I try to avoid beer, it does wierd things to me - like my first marriage. I stick to Grey Goose or Belvedere on the rocks. My doctor and my liver both hate me for it.

The only reason I am using the Holiday Inn is that it is free. I have several hundred thousand holiday inn points and i can get a pretty good room anywhere I want. As long as there are no cockroaches in the bed and the room is relatively clean... I can sleep anywhere. The less I spend on the necessities of life, the more I have so spend on the fun stuff.

Speaking of, who does the best food comps for poker players? What limits do I get the most player value from?

It's looking like the May long weekend (the Canadian one) in Vegas for me.

I'll probably have a miliion questions between now and then... so look out.
