I was going to do this with just my buds but I thought it would be fitting to announce a FTR Poker Cruise Party! Or something of that nature!

I found this ad on Craigslist the other day and requested information, it sounds pretty fun and was just wondering if you guys would think it would be a good idea to get together, and go to this for the labor day cruise so we can play against each other live and have fun!

Here are the details, please let me know if you are interested maybe we can get a group rate discount?

We have the following Dates Available

4 Day Poker Cruise August 31 - Sept 4, 2006 Labor Day

5 Day Poker Cruise September 4 - September 9, 2006

7 Day Poker Cruise September 10 - September 17, 2006
================================================== ==============================

WHAT IS A POKER CRUISE?

Plenty of tournaments and cash games.

With over 200 players expected to attend each event, we have reserved a large ball room, with enough space to hold 10-12 professional poker tables, and all
of our guests comfortably. We will provide a professional dealer for each table.
