Well we are going to be in Vegas from the 21st to the 25th, staying at the Treasure Island hotel. We've been gambling all along our roadtrip in the Van by playing Big 2.

So far we stayed a few days in Vancouver Canada for nightclubs. Stayed a day in Portland Oregon which was pretty horrible, that place is shitty. A day in Gold Beach which was pretty awesome, we made a huge ass fire on the beach at night. I'm posting this from our room in San Francisco, we'll be going to Six Flags and doing some shopping and clubbing for a few days here and then it's off to Vegas!

I've noticed some people have had problems with Vista and autohotkey scripts but I've got a setup here to get it working. Doing so will make you lose some pretty colours while running pokerstars but it's not a huge issue, and whenever you quit pokerstars your appearance settings will go back to normal. So:
(You must be running with 32bit colour in your desktop settings)

1. Right click -> 'Properties' on your pokerstars shortcut
2. Go to 'Compatability' tab in the properties
3. Under 'Settings' check "Disable desktop composition" (This needs to be done because the betpot script works off of images/colour in the pokerstars windows and the pixels need to be the precise colours for the script to work)
4. There is a couple possible options here, try them out to see what works for you:
4a. Find your "AutoHotkey.exe" and right click -> 'Properties' and under 'Compatability' again set "Run this program as an administrator" under the 'Privilege Level' area.
4b. Find your betpot script (probably named 'BetPot-v0.2n.ahk' and do right click -> 'Compile script'
5b. Set the resulting .exe file to "Run this progarm as an administrator" the same as outline in step 4a
6. Pot some bets!

You may also want to install your autohotkey to a folder NOT under "Program Files" since that folder is pretty locked down by Vista. I'm not sure if this is necessary but it might help if you are having issues.

In a few weeks....

I'm going on a two week road trip with 5 of my friends (renting a van). We'll be driving from Calgary (hometown) to Vancouver, BC, down along the coast stopping at mostly insignificant places along the way and then arriving in Vegas to have approximately a 4 day stay. None of us is big poker players, I'm the only online player and I play NL10 woo baller. We do like playing live home games but we aren't ballers, just $5 donkaments to pass the time.
We aren't sure yet where we're staying, probably some bunk ass hotel since we aren't rich, but it should be fun anyways.
I think we plan to play some low stake donkaments while we're there, like $50-$100 buyin, along with the regular degenerate gambling, roulette, blackjack etc.
6 dudes in a van. Should be good times!
