whats your n0 driving at 80? No barrings I hope. Do you evaluate each town for heat?
I've been experimenting with different ideas, and a change of clothes and staying in the car was one of them...since I exist paycheck to paycheck right now - that's the best I can get out here as a beginner with low BR... I'd take a ten-speed in Vegas heat, over that anyday .. one vote for Vegas !

I got a warning the last time I was pulled over. The last 2 ties actually. I came up on a guy blocking the fast lane with a car next to and slightly behind him. I hit the brakes knocking it out of cruise control at just over 75 MPH which is the fastest you can go without being pilled over on the 65 MPH road. I have spent years checking tolerances and police patrol tolerances have gotten a little looser since the speed camera laws. As I passed both cars on the inside the roadblock sped up to cut me off. I had to go faster than I normally go to get by him (he was probably drunk or on a cell phone). Normally the car not moving to the left would get a ticket if someone faster approached from the rear but since I sped up to get ahead of him I got pulled over. I got a warning not a formal speed back off.
yeah, you're right , I should relax during the trek - by the way Ouchez an interesting thing , a while back I posted something like "poor conditions at Mid-west Casino" , well , lo and behold , I accidentally went back there - not to play , but because my wife needed to stop and was curious anyway about the particular place ... guess what ... almost every game has been put back to BJ is 3:2 , and only one CSM left - amazing ... I'm thinking there are serious amount of "Casino Persons" watching ?, maybe they didn't want bad PR? maybe not - but hard to think otherwise- because even with 6/5 the tables were packed with the ploppers to the max...but maybe the ploppies figured they were losing too much and it hurt .... I don't know , maybe it's just a coincidence ... if you ever want to share ideas , I left my email address in your latest BASH thread ... even though it's postponed , I don't care I'll take any info ... take care

midwest HL games are actually good....if low limit play the "dirty hole" (greek style..)....crushed the chunky place in WI too, but very small..and heavy action gets attention quick - very small, boat flashbacks...literally, like 2-3 bj tables so not my scene..lol..and difficult to get to....so HL = good games, otherwise..for most, not worth the trip
btw..i have played EVERYWHERE midwest (clev-chitown, sans IN)
Probably shouldn't have repeated KJ's full quote but I think he hit the nail on the head about Vegas. Met a good friend who is now a games manager at one of the more local casinos. He used to be a casino manager but got out of the biz and is back in it. He moved there from Denver years ago; restarted his life as a craps dealer and moved up. He always suggested that I move out there to join him (after we both had gotten divorced) but I have just visited and stayed in touch as friends over the years. KJ explains Vegas games very well. Though they have changed over the years. One thing that my friend showed me however is that they don't sweat AP play ALL the time; they are more tolerant than you think provided you are not trying to "empty the chip tray". He showed me a list of AP's maintained on their computer/database but they did NOT back off everyone on the list unless they were "asses" or tried to be obnoxious about what they were trying to win from his place. But they were definitely AWARE of anyone designated an AP. Of course everyone here has their own ways of playing but I think if you stay within a certain level of play you could stay in Vegas permanently as KJ and make a living. The "home run" story may not always be achievable but "singles" hit daily could be just as lucrative in the long run.
