That is possible, I am a well known procrastinator. I was actually going to become a professional procrastinator but I didn't get around to it.

Sorry to comment late but downstream mentioned above is a really nice place until you find out that you play for two days there and if you live more then75 miles away they do not give you mail or offers- what a terrible marketing system
No longer hiring, don’t ask because I won’t hire you either

Quote: PokerGrinderThe reason that I still use my gps is because I don't have data on my phone cause it's a Canadian contract. I would use google maps if I could but it would cost me a ton so instead I get lost a couple times a trip. .

that plan would solve all your problems..... I switched over to them a few weeks ago so far so good. Telus was sad to see me part ways after 20 years
Going to get back home in time for the first snow fall of the season....good planning LOL

Yeah, I wondered about that. I gave them some heavy play for 5 days straight last year and never heard a thing. Thanks for the insight.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I forgot to finish out this thread and post the report from my last day. I drove 645 miles home stopping at a bunch of casinos because well I can and it breaks up the drive. I gambled a little at Harrahs before leaving and lost $45 playing VP. I went to Popeyes for lunch which we don't have up north so it is a nice treat when I am travelling. I then drove about a hour and stopped at WinnaVegas Casino cause I had a $10FP offer and why not really. Played some BJ and won just over $50. I think I broke even here on vulturing. Next stop was the Hard Rock is Sioux City where I found no decent vulturing and won $20 overall. Nothing great here but the bartender did think that I was nuts as I kept moving machine to machine checking them on the bar top. Last stop was Dakota Magic again. Finish the trip where it started and for the second time on the trip I won $40 there. All that was left was the drive home. I stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner, another place we don't have in Winnipeg. Pretty uneventful from there, no trouble at the border which was nice.
I don't plan on having my chips ready to post to the chip thread any time soon as I have a bunch of stuff to do and... well I am lazy. So sue me! :)

FP - $315 turned into $318.86
Match play - $20 turned a big old zrep

Outstanding, and astonishing!
And for at least another couple weeks you remain 'The Mr McNugget' .
<edit> come to thunk of it, I'd put that jhit on my résumé. 'I stood toe to toe 'gainst an impossible task with a worldwide audience watching, while the Pro's mostly bet on me failing. I swallowed it whole, washed it down with a beer, turned and walked away with them cheering'
