So back to my usual stomping grounds…
I have yet to play but did search the floor for the Switch game from this Blog post on WoV and did not come across it - perhaps it is not open yet and will be open later…
Tournament this evening (and I do not expect to be DQ'd therefrom)
Positive variance to us all!

OK insane day/evening:
I played one shoe prior to dinner and the tournament and picked up a quick +800
Then, at dinner, my phone would not stop ringing…a client emergency occurred…her husband hit her after she threw a pen at him from across the room…upon the cops showing up at the scene they informed her that "SHE assaulted him with a WEAPON" and asked him if he wanted her arrested. Meanwhile, they said the remnant of the handprint on her from him was sufficiently faded that he had not likely hit her to a degree warranting arrest!!!
This whole situation took about an hour on the phone and, true to form, the cops did nothing to assist a woman hit by a man.
I played the tournament and won the first hand…and that was the only hand I won - I was summarily dismissed
Finally, sat down to play some more and was up and down for the first shoe and a half, hovering around still being +800
However, the blackjack gods would not smile over the next two shoes…
I would lose 5 doubles and 3 splits
After three shoes, I had lost the 800 I was up plus another 600
After the fourth shoe, I had lost another 500—now being down for the trip 1100
The fifth shoe would bring a very nice comeback for me, I was able to press and win some key doubles
After an eventful day, I am even
Sweet dreams

The boardwalk in front of the casinos suffered very little to no damage. The worst I saw was some sand that had to be removed. This was a week after the storm. The footage that we all saw on TV was of an area away from the casinos that was already in disrepair.

Some Indian guy kept staring at me and eventually asked a pit boss to ask me to be quiet but he told the pit boss not to tell me
Then he turned around and stares at me again - be a man and tell me to be quiet if you feel I should be quiet!
F him!!!
Later on...
Had split 8 8 8 and lost all three
Three hands later got 8 8 8 again lost all three
Switched tables and got it back
Trip -1150

Most of the rest I was getting 12, 13, 14 and it felt like I was always getting a 10 to go with it. Better luck to you Ace... Foxwoods tomorrow.
