We take dinner break halfway thru
our visit. If my wife shows me a
ticket with hundreds on it and is
all happy, I just sigh. Invariably
when we leave she'll be in the
hole hundreds. If she's even at
dinner or down a little, she has
a chance of leaving a winner.
Never seen it happen the other
way around.

Take a minute to just breathe, just one minute - 60 seconds. The air is OK, it's the same air you were breathing the last time you were winning. There you are, still breathing. The game hasn't changed, you haven't changed. Take another big breath,.....that's pretty cool isn't it? The game's waiting, the game is always waiting, another big breath. Tell the game to wait a little longer...then go kick it's ass. At some point it becomes your turn to win... Find that point, then raise hell! 2F

Quote: aceofspadesJust had 6 6 6 6 split out v dealer 3 and was dealt another 6 (couldn't split beyond that)
The first 6 I was dealt a 4, doubled and drew a 5
Second 6 drew a 10
Third 6 drew a King
Fourth 6th drew a King
Dealer turns over a 10 for 13 then draws a 3 then another 3 for 19 (edited due to my original posting being made in an annoyed state)
I don't know how this post originally looked, and I see where you mentioned that you've edited it. In it's current state, it doesn't look quite right. It reads like you split to 4 hands and then got a 5th six. If that's the case, you'd have had a hard 12 on the first hand and you probably would have stood knowing that all those small cards were out of the deck.

I was Downtown last night, just killing time. The GN felt crowded for a Tuesday night. Visited the 60lb nugget and did not see anyone in the HL room, well maybe someone in a straw cowboy hat. Perhaps it is time to hit up the 4 Queens new member promo? :)
Went to the D to dump a roll of quarters into Sigma Derby, but of course it was closed and being "conditioned". Asked a slot tech when it might re-open, she just shrugged and said "soon".

Sorry to hear about the loss. Better times at the Aria.
For what it's worth I have very little good to say about the Golden Nugget table games.
Think the D and Golden Gate have much more to offer.

You probably need something to back it up, other offers, win loss statements, allow new places(hosts) contact with other properties, you might want to look for an independent host and you'll probably have to put more front money or credit line(might be a scary situation) . That all may be more problematic If you can't keep away from temptation and tilting. If you can stick to a plan, it should get you more value. If you're afraid a credit line or more front money could lead to temptation, grab it, keep what you originally planned on using and deposit the rest in bank or do something so you cant get at it.
Tropicana Is trying to poach guys just like you, I would start there.
Bringing 5k to 7k betting $100 to 200 bets isn't something they are frothing at the mouth over, but it's good, consistency should account for something.
Mention speed count to them that should add 20% alone ;).
