    Site for next Moo Camp?

    Since the last one was such a rousing success (at least, no one told me it sucked and I shouldn't quit my day job) I'm trying to plan another Moo Camp. If you would attend a Moo Camp, where would you consider attending? More than one response allowed.

    I was hoping to see a report here from the first one. Like number of attendees, their satisfaction level, etc. Not all details are expected, of course.

    I'll leave it up to any attendees to decide if they want to report. I got feedback from several people. I don't like to toot my own horn, so I'll only share the criticisms: I tried to do a lot of drills, and I think that was boring/corny for a lot of people. My hope was to really nail down the skills, but the response was mostly "ok, I get it, let's go play." So, next time, I'll probably focus more on just explaining the moves, and leave it at that.

    I also did too much foundational stuff, which was not that helpful to most of the attendees. My goal was to lay set up the later content and have the sessions be iterative, but I think the first session or two were probably too foundational, and only had one or two useful takeaways for a couple hours of time. I don't think they were low content (anyone who has been to a conference knows a "low content" presentation), but rather, the content was already covered in basic literature. Next time, I'll focus more on getting straight to the "secrets of the temple" if I can (although some of these moves REQUIRE a lot of foundation, because they're dangerous if you do it wrong).

    If any attendees want to discuss, I'll leave it up to them to share (just don't post the power points ). I'm not going to share # of attendees, for obvious reasons, and I ask others to refrain as well.

    lol this wouldn't be convenient for everyone else, but it would definitely make me consider going if it was in the north, middle part of the country, like MN (I don't live in MN).

    Well, if it was now, I'd say on the beach in St. Martin. 82 degrees today.

    Maybe I should have put an option for the Caribbean. Puerto Rico has some decent games...

    How about here? And then you can teach the secret of Indian Casinos? LOL

    Actually anywhere within a 1 state radius or two........if you count MS/Tunica would be great. I know you NEED casinos to be able to have a true "learning lab" after class. Or maybe Kansas City riverboats? Or Bossier........down Metro's way?

    I attended the first "boot camp." Cash Cow's analysis of the two-day session is very accurate, in my opinion. The material presented on the first evening was really too elementary. However, there was a delicious tidbit that he dropped that I have been using ever since. It has improved my game.

    Over-all, I think my "hard skills" are reasonably well-developed. However, there was also a discussion of various "soft skills" that I found extremely beneficial.

    Ultimately, when one attends a seminar/camp of this sort, you have to ask yourself, "Did something change? Do I play differently, in some way, than I did before attending the camp?" If the answer is "no," then I think you have to ask yourself if it was worthwhile. However, in my case, the answer is "yes." I do some things differently as a result of this camp.

    The visuals were good, and the students who wanted an electronic version of the visuals were provided with one.

    Over-all, definitely a "thumbs up."

    Just got back from there.
    For blackjack players travelling there would be a complete waste of time and money.
    And technically, you should go to Sint Maarten, since casinos in Saint Martin are forbidden
