My first stop was Let It Ride table. I had a pretty lame table, nobody was really talking. When I would congratulate someone on a good hand they would barely smile. The table was boring and painful to play at. Thankfully, that changed when my new friends Nicky and John came to sit down next to me. Now your probably thinking, Nicky and John, who are these characters? They are bikers from New York and had the spark this table needed to become alive again. They were smokers, like all my biker friends are, and that was the main controversy at the table. We had an idiot dealer who was not very friendly and when ever people smoked, he would complain about. But John was not having any of that especially in the smoking session. "You hear this guy? (nudging me on the elbow) Who the f*** is this guy?" Yeah, pretty intimidating, I know. So when the dealer left for break, John told him as he was walking away that he should go suck on a respirator to get clean air. It was quite an experience that I wish more people could be a part of. Chip count: bought into table with $200 and left for dinner with $200. EVEN
Feeling pretty good at this point, I headed up to Michael Jordan's Cafe, the meeting place for dinner. It was already known how great this dinner is going to be prior to even stepping foot in the restaurant. For an appetizer we had BBQ Chicken Spring Rolls with jalapeno ranch dressing. OMG!!! Words can not describe how satisfying these rolls of spring were to our already hungry stomachs. It was the perfect amount of crusty spring rolls mounted on a double layer of BBQ sauce and jalapeno ranch dressing. My complements to the chef. I must say that my dinner choice was not solely mine. I heard what Simone was ordering and quickly changed it over to what he spotted, the Knife and Fork Ribeye Steak Sandwich. Bottom layer was a piece of toasted garlic bread with melted swiss cheese. On top of the garlic toast was a healthy piece of ribeye steak with a layer of mushrooms and onions. Oh, but thats not the best part. On top of the garlic bread, swiss cheese, steak, mushrooms and onions was a layer of onion strings. It really tied the sandwich together. Appetite count: came to the table really hungry and left completely satisfied. AWESOME
Post dinner, we hit the tables again and I went back to the same table game, Let It Ride. I was very swingy again. I was down and then made a good run back up. Two hours later I had found myself back to the same $200 I bought in for. At that point, I had got up from the table for a few reasons. 1. I have been teaching Dirk how to play the game and he was interested in playing 2. I was getting pretty bored at that table 3. I wasn't making much headway in my bankroll. I have still be playing with the same $200 I started with (when you break even at the casino, it should really be considered a win). So Dirk and I were at that table for a little while until we decided to hit up the Video Poker scene. What a dumb idea. It wasn't dumb because I dropped 40 bones on it, but because it provided about as much excitement for me as a wrist watch exhibit at a museum to an amputee. Dirk didn't mention his excitement level at this point but I'm sure he was on board with me. Chip Count: bought into table for $200 and left with $200. Bought into video poker for $40 and left with my dignity. Down $40
Something I like to do before leaving the casino is hitting the roulette table. When I am losing it is a quick way to win back some money (obviously if you get lucky). When I am winning, I don't feel bad spending more money on the table. So I threw down one of my $100 chips and played for a while, hitting some numbers and missing a bunch. As fate would prevail, I lost the money after about 30 min. I could have walked away at that point down $140 but I was there to gamble and gamble is what I did. I pulled out the second $100 chip and went off to the races, not alone. Dirk jumped on the ride with me calling me a evil temptress, but if it wasn't for this evil temptress, he would not of had a positive run on the roulette table. So your welcome Dirk Hartog. So we played countless spins of the wheel, hitting numbers after numbers. The good thing about roulette is when you have a bankroll that if you lose $100 or $200, you can still put up more money and make it back relatively quickly. I play the same numbers every spin: 13,14,17,18,21-24 combo and 31. Two of these numbers came out a bunch of times, 13 and 17 and those are the ones that made the stop at the roulette table so profitable. Chip Count: bought into table for $200 and left for home with $500.
Overall, I won $260 at the casino yesterday ending my 3 time casino trip losing streak. I am happy to say that I am back on top of my gambling game and I hope to stay on top for a while to come.
It has come to my attention that a number of my faithful blog followers were a little concerned about my absence from last weeks posting. I assure you that I am alive and well. I can only promise to make it up to you all by double posting this week. So stay tuned.
