I am back, this time with young wandering sister of the WSOP, the WSOP-Circuit.
I got here two days ago and am staying at a Harrah's Tunica hotel and dealing at the Harrah's Tunica Casino.

Last year's tournament had great turnouts and giant prizepools.

This is all in Robinsonville, Mississippi which is about 10 minutes away from Tunica.
The town was a man-made almost island in order to meet a destination for the masses within the Mississippi Gaming Code. It is very easy to get in and out, and if you are here long enough you are going to want to do that.
There are, I believe, 9 casinos and not much else. Though you can get almost everything else in the casino, I will say that this is mainly a gambling town, the entertainment seems to be a distant second. But again, if you have a way out you can make your way to Memphis (20 minutes away) or other large cities for entertainment. I know I am going to try to catch a Memphis Grizzlies game.
This is going to be a really great event, because not only will I be getting a lot of work in but also almost every dealer will be staying in the same hotel. This has made it for a fun last couple of nights with many more to follow.
Thankfully us dealers know how to have a good time without much money being involved (even though we are really good at spending money also), because I am pretty broke right now.
There is some good gambling action going on, and the poker rooms are nice, but I will have to save all that for after I get some money coming in.
I am stoked that they have a Fudrucker's inside the Harrah's Casino, that will probably be one of my best friends while I am here.
I am making this a short blog entry as I have to get ready to head down to the gaming office and get some paperwork finished. The Wi-Fi here is not cheap, and I have yet to find a free location, so though I wanted to make this a daily blog it looks like it may only updated a couple of times per week.
I will, however, be posting event entry and prizepool information on my twitter account.
Lastly, much thanks for Poker Tournament Consultants for giving this guy a job, much appreciated.
