Tunica, Titan, and The Hogs

Last weekend, me and some of the boys went to Tunica, MS for a couple of days. Tunica isn't Vegas, and I haven't been, but it hsa to be second....I like to refer to it as the Vegas of the SouthEast...We had a hell of a time, and I actually didn't lose very much money at all...We played golf at Tunica National on Saturday Afternoon, four of us, so we decided to gamble and split into a 2 vs 2 scramble....Well, Craig& DJ evidently didn't get the memo that going to Tunica a night early and staying up all night drinking/gambling, not sleeping even five minutes, and continuing that until we picked you up in the lobby the next day at 2:30pm is not the best way to prepare yourselves to play golf. Needless to say, NateDogg and I were more than eager to get at this money making oppurtunity. And yes, we beat them, pretty bad, by 4 strokes..which in a 2-man scramble is far worst than just stroke play. Had a helluva a time and drank the whole round of course.
We got back to the casino and only could think about eating a good meal, and I didn't want to play first to get a comp so we could eat, but with Gregger urging, we decided that paying for a meal in a casino is the same as capital murder....so we hit the craps tables for like 15 minutes and then got $20 comps to the Atruim, which is quite fantastic...After we ate, which seemed like we ate for like 3 hours, we went str8 up to the poker room and played all night, atleast til about 5 in the morning....played $3/$6 limit which seems like a grind, but we had a damn good time, and after playing 6 hours of Poker, we got a $12 comp to the Atrium....wait that doesn't make any sense....Buy-in at the Craps table for $40, play for 15 min....get $20 comp....Buy-in at the Poker table for $150, play for 6 hours...get a $12 comp...oh well, it was still good when we used it...
We played in a $50 freezeout at Sam's Town the next day at 11:00am, which means I got little rest, but was suprisingly ready to go the next morning...71 players, Top 9 pay, with 1st getting about $1250...I busted I think about 26th after being severly crippled when my KK got cracked by JJ when he flopped his set, but 2 out of 7 of us that played made the final table...So congrats to Twitty and Coby...although it didn't pay excellent, still a good accomplishment, Twitty got 7th and Coby got 5th...After the tourney, we went back to the Gold Strike to eat, and then from there played a little bit more and then went the hell home...

Since I have been back I have been playing on Titan Poker again...not b/c of the wide(horribly small) selection of games or their awesome(mediocre at best) software, but because they gave me $50 for free...Friday night I had some drinks and managed to take that $50 down to exactly $15.50...On Tuesday night, I got on there playing retard-aggressive and managed to turn that $15.50 into almost $250 somehow, what a donk....but since then have slowed down and it has been nice to be playing some half-decent games with a little bank, and have went up even more since then...but one problem faces me...POKERNET actually issued the bonus and they say you can't withdraw any money until you earn 4500 Titan points, in fact, they say that Titan will lock up your account if you try...Well....I think this is bullshit, POKERNET, other than being in some sort of affiliate type program with Titan, has nothing to do with them, and they should not be able to control user's accounts/withdrawals, I tried to get to the bottom of this with the help of Titan's Online Support last night, which is a joke...The guy's name was supposed to be Eddie, and you all know that was really Mohammad Ouhskjdojd Ojdfiunweewfwjin Indsciudv Ammon...but he wouldn't say anything when I got down to it, but call the toll free phone number for the Terms/Conditions and insisted on giving me the number like 15 times....but I will figure this out, and plan on making a withdrawal far before I reach 4500 Titan points, so I will let you alll know when I do...

Until then I dont have much, only 9 days left until the Razorbacks first game Vs. USC in Fayetteville...so definately looking foward to that....Late
