Anyone interested in a live low roller trip report? I'm headed out in the morning for a few short hours of gaming (around 24 hours). I thought if there was any interest I would update on my trip AOS style!! Of course I'll lose or win hundreds not thousands. I'll be playing blackjack, craps, and maybe some baccarat.

Absolutely.
I cant identify with AOS trip reports, it kind of seeing how the other 1/2 lives it up in Vegas.
I'm a low roller myself, would love a trip report I can identify with :-)

6 to 0 in favor of a live report. Looks like I'll be posting tomorrow. I don't have a lot of time but I plan on playing in at least three different places maybe four. Hopefully I'll leave with more than I started with. If that happens it will be the first time in many times lol.

I am the party pooper that voted no... just because I prefer one long, non-live, report. And the following conversation can happen around the whole trip. I realize this is much less fun for the original poster, though. Etierh way, I look forward to reading -a- report, and have fun.

go to www.imgur.com and click on UPLOAD - then choose a photo from your phone - then, once it loads, you will be given a list of codes - copy and paste the one that is titled "BBcode" - then paste it into the thread herein
HOWEVER,
after you paste it, you must edit it as follows:

here is an example of what you will copy and paste:



once you do this, change it to this:




This will allow the photo to appear in the post

In eager anticipation mode as well! Don't be greedy like chauncy, just get 1 full row of 25k chips, you don't need a whole rack =) lol

I've never seen $25,000 chips. They look the same color as $5 chips. LOL.

Funny thing though as I look at that rack. I am in my 13th year of professional blackjack play. I have made just under $700,000 in that time. The first 5 years were at very low stakes and it took 5 years to reach my first 100K. Over the last 5 years, playing mid-level stakes, I have averaged just under 100K per year.

But here's the thing. Less than 1 and a half rows of that rack would be my entire career earnings. Yikes. That's making me feel pretty insignificant. :(

Yeah, I had to count that rack twice to get enough zeroes on it.

It's just a sick amount of money. The people that would use that rack, wouldn't think twice about it. And the rest of us wouldn't even think once about it. Either way, it's not real money, so no need to let it color your joy.

I'm trying to decide what I'm playing first. Probably some craps but I'm not certain. I'm going to check out the BJ conditions but I don't think there are any double deck games less than $25 min. I'll probably save my BJ play for another location.

Even if you don't play would you mind reporting the $25 min DD conditions? =P

Off to the first game! If it's craps, are you a pass/don't pass... come/don't come, or place bet player?? Or do you just stick to field?!?!

Yes that's the comped room I'm staying in. If anyone can tell anything about what I look like from what's showing in the pic then I may be in trouble lol.

Craps tables are packed, two dd tables open but no one is playing them. Both at $25 min. Several $5 BJ shoe tables open. All of them have multiple players. If I can squeeze into the craps table I'm going to play the don't. Also two $5 Bac tables open which is highly unusual. The crowd is light overall but I suspect it will pick up later on.
