Hello Y'all:

Here's a brief Trip Report on Day 1...

( Day 0 was what seemed like a full day of travel just to get
here, trying to balance a decent air fare vs non-stop flights
vs the closest airport. The best air fare won ).

Day 1 Story
=======

Sunday 03/25

So just for fun, we decide to drive out to Green Valley Ranch.
That has been on my to-do list. Several years ago, I liked the
cable channel "reality" show that was about GVR.

I start out playing 99.7 % DW with my players card, just to
try and see if I could get some good offers in the mail, even
though we aren't locals.

When I am down about $ 60, I switch to their 100 % full
pay, and start to make a little comeback. Mrs Q then calls
and says that one of the machines next to her has opened
up, so I cash out with my ~ $ 50 that I now have left and
sit down next to her.

In the next 90 minutes or so, AND I would not make this
up, I hit 4 dueces THREE times. Very cool ! Not a natural
Royal, but very cool nonetheless.

I've gone whole trips without hitting 4 dueces.

I played about a total of 2.5 hours, and ended up cashing
out with $ 800, or a NET of $ 700 after my buy-in.

So now I am trying to pace myself to make sure I go home
with a decent net win.

I'd love to be able to update this with a Day 2 or 3 or
whatever with another nice win, but that hasn't happened
( yet ).
There's emptiness behind their eyes There's dust in all their hearts They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

That is the time to reward Mrs. Q and thus helping you pace yourself. If she banks it, fine. If she plays
with it she will still feel you've done well.
