Congrats, sounds like fun!

Was this the Diamond Casino boat, or the Emerald Princess? The Emerald Princess looks nicer but, from what I can tell, unfortunately doesn't offer Hold'em, only some weird variation of 5-card stud played against the dealer, so I'm assuming it's the Diamond boat.  We live about 5 hours drive from Savannah and the wife and I were thinking of spending a weekend there.  She loves to gamble and is learning to play poker too, and there just isn't a (legal) live game closer to us.  Harrah's Cherokee in NC is about half as far, but they're digital/video games only, and no alcohol -- kind of a joke for a casino, if you ask me.  We've played a couple home games with relatives for $20 buy-ins, but it was pretty ugly play.

Of course with gas prices being what they are, a 10 hour round trip drive in my SUV will almost certainly cost more than a cheap Vegas flight if we planned ahead, not to mention save a lot of time, but for some reason the wife has something against Vegas.  Too much debauchery for her, I guess, LOL.  Ironically enough though, she's played live Hold'em more then I have, having been to the casinos or cardrooms in Florida twice while visiting her sister (who with her husband are big poker players down there).  We're all heading to Panama City in 3 weeks though and I'm gong to hit the casino they have there to try my luck.  I read that if you're a good online player with a good grasp of strategy, and can manage to keep your tells quiet, you can make more money at a given stakes in live games.  I hope that's the case for me.
