HEADLINE: Poker Is Everywhere

Body:
So it turns out that I am enjoying a lovely family cruise in the Caribbean. Our first stop is Turks and Caicos Islands.

For those of you who are not familiar with these islands, they are an English colony located at the end of the Bahamas about an hour from Miami. The islands are right out of National Geographic with classical blue green waters and miles of white pristine beaches.

The area is growing geometrically but still has a very long ways to go. Provo, the familiar local name for Providenciales, the biggest island, does not have a theater yet, let alone a real hotel. There are plenty of condos and hundreds more being built, as well as an adults-only Club Med with some of the best snorkeling in the world. On top of that, allegedly it often has a 2-to-1 women-to-men guest ratio.

What does this have to do with poker? Many of us recently have had the pleasure to play poker with Rhynie Campbell. He is a big black man who has been bitten by the poker bug and will be seen on the circuit more and more often.

He seems to own half of the area, including the casino. Rhynie is committed to put on world-class poker tournaments and will do what is necessary to attract the right crowd.

Stay tuned for more information about poker in Turks and Caicos, where we are surrounded by fabulous hospitality at a very appealing venue.
