I would love to go to vegas soon!How was your 21st to Vegas?
Here’s mine from 4 years ago Vegas gamblin on the strip and downtown and arches. First I played $25 slot at Bellagio to test my luck, went well won on first spin.
Next day, I bought bunch of slot tokens from @Spinettis Gaming on downtown. Also playing coin slots at El Cortez.
I mainly played slots back then, should’ve grabbed a lot of CC THC $5s and $25s because I stayed there and didn’t harvest!! I regret I only brought back $1 tokens…

Yeah I had to cancel my last 2 games bc it wasn’t working w everyone’s schedule. Summer is tougher. Previously I would pick Saturdays that worked for my core 3-4 and build the game around it but it’s a lot of work. I’m going with a specific weekday moving forward and running every week for consistency.For the past 2 or 3 years, I've hosted at least once a month. Monthly tournament league with high school friends and their siblings. Usually have anywhere from 5 to 8 players a night. We play STT's of varying formats that usually last anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. I would throw a cash game in there every 3 or 4 months to mix things up in addition to the monthly tournaments.
The last weekend of this month is going to be the last league game we have for quite some time. I decided I'm not going to do it for the coming year. Too many changes in the lives of the core group of my players. Two guys with new girlfriends, another guy getting engaged, buying a house, and suddenly having extra responsibility of helping to care for his paraplegic father after a bad accident all within the past year. Another that just became a first time father, you get the idea.
I've had to cancel one off games in the past due to lack of interest. I've never canceled two consecutive scheduled games. I've always been able to get enough of interest for the following scheduled game. I'm on a streak now of 4 consecutive games that I scheduled weeks in advance going up in smoke due to lack of availability and interest. All cash games too independent of the tournament league.
Excuse my whining and venting, I'm just bummed out.
Summer is tough for me too with birthdays, vacations, and overall just more social gatherings.Yeah I had to cancel my last 2 games bc it wasn’t working w everyone’s schedule. Summer is tougher.

Sorry to hear about the game loosing steam.

I'm going to try and do a Friday night game next month and see if I get better attendance then. Maybe more people around since they worked that day and go away during the weekend. Who knows.
It was inevitable that the game was going to hit a snag with 4 guys that I can count on to show 80 to 90% of the time now tied up lots of the time. I've stepped up my recruiting from here, but lots of guys are in the same boat with family commitments and can't make a regular game.
This is why our group has played Thursday nights for over 20 yearsI wonder if you switch it to mainly cash games and Thursdays if that would work better for you. Don’t get me wrong I love a good tournament but something about the uncertainty of, am I going to play for 5 hours til the end or is someone going to hit a two outer on me and I’m pissed and going home after 2 hours kinda sucks.
We play every Thursday night with guys anywhere from 35-65 years old but most I feel are 40-50 with kids. Thursdays are awesome for us bc more people tend to work from home on Fridays but have less family commitments than Friday and Saturday nights. I get asked all the time to play Friday or Saturday nights but my wife is cool enough to “Let” me play on Thursdays as long as Friday and Saturday are family nights so I don’t get greedy.
