House of the Rising SUN
dealer shuffled - then immediate dealer change so they burned 2 cards
there is a new side bet in addition to match the dealer
it is a progressive and you make a hand with the dealer hand based on dealer's 2 cards and your first 2 cards and can win up to a progressive of $400k
of course, I did not play the side bets
Played about 10 hands
lost the first 4 hands
doubled 5 5 v dealer 5 dealt a 2 for 12
dealer has 5 turns 6 deals 5 deals Q
then won a couple in a row and I had to take a phone call
Trip is +500
Quote: mipletWelcome back AoS!!!!!
Thanks - the Wizard told me the coast was clear and thought my trip reports might be fun to have back :)
Quote: mason2386Happy to see you back.
thank you - going to check out some tables now and see if I can rustle up some winning sessions
then I had a double down 8 3 v dealer 2
I pull a K
dealer has 2 6 4 3 6 to push 21
two hands later I get 7 4 v dealer J
I get an Ace for 12
dealer turns a 5 then deals a 7 for 22
went on a nice run after that
trip is +1400
Now--there is no way Über, taxi or bus is taking him anywhere for $2
I should have told him he needs to either (a) change his story or (b) up his ask
I politely told him I would not give him the $2 and he went on his way
The prodigal son is back.
All is forgiven. After all the nasty things you said about BBB when you left.
Cannot keep away right. For some this forum is a major part of their everyday life.
Since you don't chase after woman and maybe nothing else but work, not posting here leave a hole in your life.
But you will soon find that this forum is not as lively as when you were last here. Cheers.

wow this post is dripping with so much sarcasm I need a Sham-WOW!
what was funny was I had 2chips up and dealt a 6 5 v dealer 4
doubled and dealt a 3 for 14
dealer has 4 turns over a 9 then busts with a 10
however, at the same time the pit boss let's out an exasperated sigh so I look over and he quickly says "no no not commenting on your hand - was sighing because of a story (another floor person was telling him)" - he relayed the story and I could tell why he sighed lol
it was perfect timing though
trip is +2200

So negative, Ace. I only want the

win too much.
Good luck AoS! Welcome back to the forums!

Good luck AoS! Welcome back to the forums!
Love the rendering - thanks my friend
the lowlights, other than the previously mentioned BJs and 21s were 4 4 4 split out v dealer 6 where my best hand was a 15 and the dealer won with 17 --- then 6 6 6 split out v dealer 6 with my best hand being 17 and the dealer won with an 18
at this point I lost the 2200 I was up plus another 2800
however, I took a five minute break and switched tables and steadily climbed out of the hole - getting back the 2800 from my bankroll plus another 1k
Trip is +1k

LOL I am not counselor, but I sure am craving some food from Sunrise Square right about now.
Quote: GreasyjohnHi Ace. Nice to have you back! And I like the way you start right in with a trip report.
Thanks GJ - figured I'd hit the ground running
Have some things in the works for next month so stay tuned

Hmmmmmm very interesting - my eyes are closing as I type this -- will you be ordering anything off the menu tomorrow by chance?

Most likely not, but you never know, counselor.
Meanwhile, collect as many of these as you can!

ahhhh very nice indeed
The first 6 ½ months of the year were brutal at the tables (and off - my dog became injured and sick and had to put him down -- it was the hardest thing I ever had to go through RIP my friend)
up until mid-July I was down 29600
then towards the end of July and into September I made a little bit of a recovery gaining about 7700 back
then I ended up having surgery for a torn bicep tendon which put me out of commission in a sling for a good month
once the sling came off I was back in action at the tables gaining another 3080 back before this weekend
with this trip now being +1k, I have gained back 11780
leaving me at -17820 for the year
the goal is to be even by year's end :-)
I thought you swore off the Sun? What changed?

LOL knowing EB, he will find a way to look a Christmas gift horse in the mouth :-)
Quote: DodsferdGlad to be able to read your trip reports again Ace.
thanks Big D
Talked with the female dealer about marriage and divorce - we both agreed that if you are committed to someone then have a "fake" wedding (i.e. commitment ceremony) this way you can announce to your friends and family you are committed to one another without the certificate "changing" things
It turned out to be a good shoe and by the end of it I was another 900 to the good
trip is +1900
YTD is -16920
Quote: Gabes22Welcome back AoS and may variance shine brightly on your cards
Thank you very much G22
started out on a roller coaster then dealt 888
so once again had three hands split out v a dealer K
first 8 dealt a 3 and doubled for a 17
second 8 dealt a 10 for 18
third 8 dealt a 7 then hit and busted
dealer turned over another K for 20
however, the second and third shoes were kindler and gentler, netting me another 1100
trip is +3k
YTD is -15820

I would normally let this go. Being called sarcastic is not the worst thing that is said about me.. But I have 2 hours to kill before going on my cruise.
And I thought I was calling a spade a spade.
Let us be clear what happened when you were leaving.

This seems to trigger a needed response and displeasure from the Wizard.
Quote: WizardLet me just say that if anybody wishes to be self-suspended he must say, "Please suspend me" or something to that effect. I prefer it to be in what appears to be a calm and rational state of mind, as opposed to Alan's last self-suspension request.
We will also accept requests on a time limit of said suspension, but it must be at least 30 days. If no time limit is specified, then the member may come back upon

Hmmmmm I did not call you sarcastic - I stated the post was "dripping in sarcasm" and, more importantly,
why is this being stirred up in my trip report thread...?

I can never figure out why you have

just leave him alone, already. We're
all glad he's back.
