Jeff, I wonder if you would say a word or two about the equipment at Bogies'. Are they GCs; Diamonds; other? Does the house keep them in pretty good shape?...
I think that's 10 entered now, and by the way, David Richardson just told me Bogies could accommodate as many as 24 players. That's a lot of old farts stinking up the joint!
I'll be 73 and can't remember the cards my opponent plays so how can I play GIN, in onepocket I always forget my pocket but I can win by telling my opponent he shot the balls in the wrong pocket . I played a guy last week onepocket and paid him $30 because I thought I lost 1 game my son told me I'm losing it I told my son I wanted to see if the guy was honest. My son proved to me I broke even. I told him it was a good investment. True story age caught up to me. I told you when you were young you looked for the suckers ,now look in the mirror because you're the sucker which is a good thing because being the sucker means you got the cash. So when you lose it doesn't hurt too much.You have the money and the time , just do it. You might be able to get a Gin Rummy game. Dr. Bill

The only good thing about it is..nobody believes me and i'm not getting action.

You're a funny guy, believe me I saw you lose to Scooter even and I forgot his name but you booked 2 losers in a row. But in your defense you took it like a man and eat more ice cream then anybody else.you got even on ice cream.Yea, your right. Just like Hendy say's "i'm the guy I used to look for." Can't remember the last time I lost at the rate i'm losing at now, true. The only good thing about it is..nobody believes me and i'm not getting action.

Thanks~

Good questions. My wife wants to go with me and wants to know how far to the middle of Houston. She can only watch so much one pocket.

That's 10. Need 6 more to play the event, but we could end up with as many as 24, and several alternates.
Looking forward to meeting each and everyone,

Im 2 years off the mark at 68.
But am willing to send a C note to boost the prize pool.
Maybe we can start a collection for those of us who cant qualify or cant attend.
Boosting prize pool allows more people to get in the money.
Be best if we can send it to a central location like Steve or Billy.
I'll tell what little I think I know.
The closest airport is Geroge Bush (I think that's the name now... used to be Hobby I think.) It is about (guessing) 7-10 miles due East of Bogies.
Hotels galore, closest respectable within a couple miles.
A long way to Downtown and the Galleria. 20 miles I'm guessing.
Jeff or Androd can correct or add to any of this.
I'm on the fence about going what hotel and how far it is from the airport if someone could tell me I would appreciate it. Suggestions please.
