A flush beats a straight, right?

I am off for a gambling weekend tomorrow morning.  I suppose it would be helpful if I had even begun to pack.  This is a plane owned by the casino, whose main purpose is to get you to BFE aka Elko, Nevada where they have great plans on how to separate you from your money.  The down side is that I am limited to 1 (count 'em 1) carry-on bag, 21 x something x 8 and an oversized tote.  This is not going to be a pretty task, I can see that.  My girly accruments take up a bag all of their own (that and my mini bar in tupperware midgets that have to travel with me, I am not paying 5.00 a drink on the plane).  Plus, it is colder there so I have to take socks and a winter coat.  Plus my red hat for the tea on Friday.  Guess I am going to look very strange at the airport, winter coat, red hat and dragging a suitcase that is way to heavy for me to carry up the stairs of the plane.  So much fun.

The good news is that I might actually win something.  I am taking my poker book with me (and I can get pretty brave at the 1.00 blackjack tables!).

I know absolutely nothing about poker/gambling. Good luck to you, though!

I know how to put the quarters in the slots and pull the handle and hope 7s come up. Poker will take some work as will blackjack. It is supposed to be cold and wet while we are there (which means I have to back another pair of shoes).

I have decided the city of Elko must have something related to a liquor store and I do not need to haul my collection of mini-bottles in the plane. Besides, there just isn't any more room. I have my medium boardwalk crammed into a carryon tote. I suppose the smart thing would be to carry the small basket but that is not nearly as much fun. If they aren't too picky, I might be able to rescue it from carry-on hell.
