Redneck Monte Carlo?

Texas Treasure Casino Cruises Poker Tables
Very interesting — 1/2, 2/5 NLHE, 5/10 & 10/20 LHE. PLO, if you’re of a gambly mood. Roughly four hours of legal cards, two hours away, $20 entry fee. I wonder what the rake is. I wonder how often the games make. I wonder if you end up playing with crusty old sharks who are de-facto locals.
Well, for a tank of gas, $20 to get on board, four hours of driving, and probably some beers — I’d say that’s worth a day trip, no? Plus, I get to chow down on another one of those half-pound burgers from the Mexican joint. Throw in a motel, a day on the flats redfishing, boozing with the locals after a shower, a good night’s sleep in the salt air, and you’re talking a nice little 3-day weekend for pretty cheap.

The missus went a couple years back. She doesn’t play poker, so no comment there, but she wasn’t impressed with the casino in general. Her complaints: 1. too smoky, 2. kind of dirty, and 3. the food was no good. Oh and none of them won big on the slots, but that’s hard to complain about.
