Any $ Players in Raleigh NC?

I have a couple of students in the area and they like to play for quite a bit of money ($50 or $100 a point) but there are fairly low-level players at this point and only play with each other and a few friends who are as bad as they are. They play around 10 or 12 PR...in that range.
I have no idea if they would be interested in having an experienced tournament and chouette player like you in their game, but I will ask them and give them your contact information. Of course I will tell them you are a nice, honest guy but I will also tell them honestly that you are a far better player than they are. Maybe they would consider playing you if you gave them a spot.
In addition I have several friends in the area who play at a high intermediate or low open level, but I doubt they play for more than $5 or $10 a point. As was already suggested these players all play at Ken's club and you can get contact information through him or just come to the club and introduce yourself.
Funny story. A couple of years ago a guy showed up and introduced himself and Ken thought there was something fishy about the guy. He did some investigating and found it was none other than Hank Youngerman, using a fake name, and Ken, being one of the most honorable people in Backgammon, was not going to stand for someone trying to hide their identity and using a fake name at his club.
You might remember Hank as the infamous RedTop who Paul Weaver and I exposed for on line cheating and taking money in chouettes from me and my friends and charging for lessons?
Anyway, he may still be in the Raleigh Durham area, but as long as you don't play him on line and you use your dice, you should have no problem with him.
