It has not shown up yet, but it says something about sales updating after midnight - so maybe that is the same with signups too.
I have been thinking about signing up for that PenisPill - I will sign up under you.
I have tried BlackJack, even card counting. I just can't do it - they deal too fast and if I blink - I can't do it. Even simple counts I can't do at that speed. I used to have basic Stratgey Memorized, but it just bores me. I know people addicted to BlackJack. I just can't stand the crotchety (sp?) people that bitch and complain, because I "took their card".
I have had a FEW people get upset at me at poker - like when I had four 8s and beat the pants off a guy with aces full, but in general - I have a lot more fun with poker and now that the Trop (in AC) is non smoking - I really like it there. A lot of people prefer the Taj - and I will hopefully be there in December for the US Poker Championship, but I prefer the Trop for everyday play.
Poker is more my speed and I don't have to worry about losing all my money. I like the Tournaments as well and have only played in a few, but they really can get your blood pumping. I was so nervous at this one:

That I had to push my bets along the felt as I would shake too much picking them up and it was an obvious tell as to when I had a good hand. I was lucky to have placed 6th (not too bad for my third official tournament).
It was really cool to play against some of these people (there were two poker authors there) - and the guy that came in first has played in the WSOP and has played and won against pros like Amarillo Slim and T.J. Cloutier (who wrote the book on tournament hold'em - and lost out in one WSOP to someone who credited his $1,000,000+ win to reading that very book).
I just don't have fun playing other games. Poker can give me such a rush - nothing else can compete.

Cool yeah give the Penis Pills a try, they do very well.
Up here, and most places now I think, they use like 6-8 decks per shoe - so good luck counting cards! Do they still deal a single deck in AC?
"I just can't stand the crotchety (sp?) people that bitch and complain, because I "took their card"."
Yeah I hear you on that one! I always try to get in the anchor spot whenI can, and I feel 95% of the time I make good intelligent decisions, but if you have a bunch of assholes at the table and the dealer has a streak of beating everyone, you'll soon be receiving several dirty looks and angry mumbling, because of course it is all your fault that the dealer got blackjack when the guy in the middle stayed with 14, and the woman next to you split 3's with an ace showing!!!
(The old women are the worst!!! What bitches!!!)
I also play "Let It Ride" a poker-based game which is alright, but yeah the real thing is the best. Sometimes a few of us have a private game here and we play all kinds of games like baseball, fiery cross, bomba, high-low split, Chicago etc, plus all the other more well-known games.
