Day Four Play

Today didn�t go so well. I pulled an $8K marker and eventually lost it. Then a $10K and lost that too. Then a $20K and amazingly, lost that too. I pulled a final $12K, and rallied all the way to having about $35K in my hands, lost about $4K of that and then stopped for the day. A 12 hour nonstop session that ended at about 11pm. Even though I had plenty of big bets, $5000., $6500., the computer had me down for only a $740. average, because I did make plenty of smaller bets, but the pit boss at my request adjusted me up to $1000.

I contacted the host and extended our stay a few days. The plan is to hunker down, go to the gym tomorrow, rest, and go back the next fresh after a one day break from gambling regrouped to recoup the $20K I lost yesterday, which actually I have over five grand in cash I already won, so I am down about $15K for this leg of the trip at the moment which is pretty manageable.

There was a certain hand where the dealer kept saying �all in Bank now.� I almost didn�t bet the hand at all, but when he mentioned it again, I piled a bunch of chips on, with three greens ($75.) on the side for him. Player got a seven, I drew a 2 and a 3 for a total of five. Odds were definitely not in my favor, but I drew a 3 and won. I slammed that 3 down hard as could be. Looking back, and of course hindsight in gambling is always crystal clear, I should have jammed it all down right then and there. I had $35K in front of me at that moment! which is the current limit at this casino. Much easier said than done though.
