  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I am going to be staying with my aunt and uncle in what I guess is the Carollwood area of Tampa, if that means anything to anyone.
Thought I responded to this. Josh, you are RIGHT around the corner from me if you are staying in Carollwood.

These buy-ins are a little higher than what I was used to. A new law allowed them to increase their limits lately. Please let me know if you are interested in this or if these dollar amounts are too rich. If that's the case I will see what I can do (no promises) about convincing the little woman to allow me to have a game at the house. It will be outside in the Florida room where we can smoke which we couldn't do at the card room. Again, no promises, it will depend on the number of folks (I would say MAX 12 people) we have and the little lady's mood when I ask her.

For those who's travel schedules are set please post your arrive and depart dates and times so we can start trying to get a handle on things.
Jason, the buyins for poker aren't necessarily too high, but I would like to hang out with the guys more. And I would definately like to smoke, so we can bag the casino. If you can host at your house, that would be great but we TOTALLY understand if your wife is not into that at all. If we don't play poker at all, it's no big deal. The important thing is to meet up and hang out together, and smoke some good cigars! So I'll do whatever the majority wants to do. And whatever you want to do.

I'm arriving Wednesday night late and leaving Sunday morning early. I have set aside Saturday afternoon and evening for me to come over and herf, the girls are going to Cinderella's Royal Table and then to the Bippity Boppity Boutique for hair and nails! Works out well for me!!!

That is probably how it will end up Kevin. So long as the wife agrees and really she's told me before I could have a game so...

At any rate, if you can let me know at what time you guys will be heading back to Orlando it will help me to nail down a timetable better.

Jason,

I plan on heading over on Saturday morning in hope to get a round of golf in, depending on tee time. I will be there for din din and a little afterwards depending how I feel. The heat down here always gets to me even in Oct.

Kevin,

You still need a ride to Tampa? If so, I still got room for ya.

A ride from Disney would be GREAT if we can work it out. I'm not a golfer and told my wife that I would spend the morning with them, so unless you can pick me up around noon, I'll work out my own transportation. Your time frame for returning sounds like it would work for me however, like 8-9 o'clock?

BTW, you'll have some great smokes in return from me if we can work out a ride!!!

Ok, eric and I have worked out transportation. He is graciously picking me up at the Polynesian on Saturday ca. 11 AM and head over to wherever you set up for us to meet Jason. We will leave ca. 8-9 PM so that I can help pack to leave the next day VERY early. My flight leaves at 7:30 AM!! Ugh.

As I said, I would love to play some poker with you guys, but the most important thing is meeting up and smoking stogies!!!

I am 1000% going to make this. Flight have been booked, car rental reserved and today Sailport Waterfront Suites was booked. Might not spend much time there but sure does have a nice view, right on the water. Boppa and his lovely wife are staying here also.

If anyone is looking to split a room Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights, let me know.


Above was posted in the original Tampa thread too.

Oh, I will be arriving in the Tampa area via rental car Friday mid day or whenever I can as driving from Jacksonville area. I will be staying in Tampa thru Sunday night and heading home Monday morning. So I am going to be doing much as possible while there with the guys.

Fishing - I have not called a charter boat as of yet, no one else but Josh posted interest. If there is a local place that rents rods and bait from the shore, that might work better. Any info would be appreciated.

Poker - Most limits should be fine with me, I plan on having some dough with me but most time $1/$2 limit or NL should be good for me.

Ybor - Jason, have you set asside a timeframe for things yet? I am open for this if some of the guys want golf, others can hit Ybor.
