Then we started things off with lunch and our first session at the tables.  The great conversation at lunch was followed by some nice rolls.  It was especially nice seeing my friends and catching up.<\/p>\n<p>\tLater we met up with others, including Mr. Finesse, Goddess, Sandtrap, Raging Jack Baritone, Doc &amp; Rose, BTK and NFF.  Hope I didn&#8217;t leave anyone out.  \ud83d\ude33 I think all were tired and turned in early for a good night&#8217;s sleep after a long travel day getting to Atlantic City.<\/p>\n<p>\tWe had an earlier than usual start for classroom set-up on Thursday because the sold-out Video Elite Analysis sessions have become so popular they overflowed to having students scheduled for both Thursday and all day Friday.  The popularity of the Video Elite is largely due to the watchful eyes and critical analysis of Billy The Kid and Daryl No-Field Five.  I&#8217;ve heard nothing but more rave reviews from the students who took the Video Elite Analysis, which is yet more praise for BTK and NFF&#8217;s excellent instruction.<\/p>\n<p>\tWith the addition of Ace-Ten, Randman, Glue Factory and Matt, it was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones during Friday&#8217;s Open House and at the Meet &amp; Greet.  The Q&amp;A session during the Meet &amp; Greet resulted in lots of interesting questions being asked and answered.  I also got to meet Team &quot;Under The Radar&quot; mentoring group members for GTC AC 2013: Homer, Larry, Robert and Sam.  All turned out to be great students.   <\/p>\n<p>\tI got to see another old friend, the Big Guy, Jumbotron Ron, who joined us for dinner one evening.  Another highlight for me was finally meeting Scan, a great guy and frequent contributor to the message boards, who along with Ron stopped by to say hello to everyone during breakfast one morning.  Many thanks, Scan for all of the great tips and suggestions on where to go and where to eat in the Philly\/AC\/NYC area.<\/p>\n<p>\tI also got to spend some time catching up with Tony and Brian \u201cThe Situation,\u201d both in and out of the casinos.  Just great seeing these guys again.<\/p>\n<p>\tSome Team \u201cUnder The Radar\u201d alum showed up during the weekend \u2013 Ahmed, who along with his great pre-shot routine, set-up and throwing form made me proud! It was also nice seeing Todd and his brother who were both at the tables with us one night.<\/p>\n<p>\tHad some good laughs with Nick At Night and Pit Boss one evening.  The story is, after a great session at one of the casinos we were waiting for our car, when several intoxicated ladies (who may or may not have been \u201cladies of the evening\u201d) came stumbling down to the valet area.  I rescued and returned the platform shoe one of the \u201cladies\u201d had dropped, letting her know that it was nothing being chivalrous because I was \u201cCinderfella.\u201d  Everyone, including the other guests waiting for their cars, found this quite funny.  \ud83d\ude06  \ud83d\ude06  But you probably had to be there to truly appreciate it.  \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p>\tThere were several instructional changes and improvements.  Added emphasis was given to smart betting, advantage play and more time at the stations and tables with the instructors during Saturday\u2019s and Sunday\u2019s classes.  From the student\u2019s comments and feedback the changes in the various classes were well received.  I know Dominator and the instructional staff will continue to make changes and recommend improvements to insure GTC&#8217;s instruction and classes remain top-notch.<\/p>\n<p>\tSunday\u2019s \u201cno-sevens\u201d contest was great fun and a nice way to wrap things up.  Everybody was into it and whooping it up.  \ud83d\ude00   Congratulations to Jason and Alligator Rose\u2019s &quot;Good Time Rollers&quot; Team on the win!  Yet another contest win for the Primer students. \u2757 <\/p>\n<p>\tI have to give props to Robert from Team \u201cUnder The Radar&quot; who had a 21 roll with 9 hardways while \u201cwarming up\u201d for the contest.  Robert\u2019s warm-up didn\u2019t translate to a big roll during the contest, but his shot looked great.  We\u2019ll get \u2018em next time!<\/p>\n<p>\tAll in all it was another outstanding GTC class weekend which is something we are all proud of.  The students were just great and the instruction was second to none.  Lots of fun with great friends and great people doing something we all love.  It doesn\u2019t get any better!<\/p>\n<p>\tBut there\u2019s more good news &#8211; Memphis\/Tunica classes are just around the corner!  I can&#8217;t wait!!<\/p>\n<p>\tMemphis is a short drive just up the road from Tunica.  It is a really fun city and a great place to take a class.<\/p>\n<p>\tIf you are coming, I&#8217;ll see you there!!<\/p>\n<p>\t \ud83d\ude0e  \ud83d\ude0e  \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on April 4, 2013, 1:23 pm<\/p>\n<div>Timmer, great report.

Isn&#8217;t it great that since the no sevens contest has been in effect, only the primer students have won!!  Shows what good students we have had.
