Ace and AC???
Should I celebrate by heading to AC tomorrow?
Quote: aceofspadesSo I finished a huge appellate brief (18,000 words...I had to get special permission since the appeals court limit is 14,000 words) and I just got the call from the clerk's office approving the extra 4,000 words WOOHOO!
Should I celebrate by heading to AC tomorrow?
That certainly sounds like a good plan to me! I'm sure Borgata would be happy to have you:-)
Quote: Buzzard18,000 words. How the hell is that BRIEF ??
It's only 70 pages Buzz!
Quote: BuzzardHave you started working on the screenplay yet? Should make a great movie.
This case would make an excellent movie actually...maybe I should talk to Munchkin
Quote: TIMSPEEDI say you hop in the Hawker and head to Reno, lol....I know I am in about 2 hours, lol.
Pardon my ignorance - what is the Hawker?
Quote: BuzzardA sequel to War of the Roses ?
Nah, not a fight over money at all - a fight over a child.
Sat down to play with a guy I like playing with and he remarked that the dealer we were playing with always smiles whether the players win or lose lol (he was joking with her...I think )
So it was up and down for a bit then the dealer won 7 straight from both of us - getting a 21 on 4 of 7 hands
We moved tables and were treated the same - we moved again
At the new table there was a guy playing a 1,4,10 progression - he basically was out within 15 hands (lost the 3k he bought in with)
I lost 5 doubles downs and was down 1900 then the dreaded speed count was in my favor and I bet 300...split 3,3 against a 6 got 10's on both for 13, 13
the dealer proceeded to bust
A few hands later I had gotten back to +$50 haha
I am tired from finishing the appellate brief and the later than usual drive down...more trip reports tomorrow
Sweet dreams :-)
Things went well this morning - although pressing backfired as the dealer
got natural bj the three times I pressed, followed by three naturals for me when I
pulled back
stayed even that session
Afternoon session:
Ran into a fellow "Revel"er at Bally's and we played a nice shoe
nothing to write home about but was plus another 500
Trip is +1000
Quote: 1BBWhen you say press you mean betting with the count right?
Yes-I use thos interchangeably
Going from one horse to no horse town. Century link just told me all they offer is slow speed internet access GRRRR
Time for Ace to complain now about being in Ac and only up a grand or two. GRRRRRRRRRRR
be on here.
the IRS forms.
Quote: Buzzard... here in Grand Junction today. Tomorrow I am moving to Clifton, Colorado. GRRR
What's that, like a 5-mile relocation? Look at it this way -- you'll be that much closer to Black Hawk and Central City.
highlights
playing with this lady who apparenyly thought my being at the table was bad luck but she continued to play anyway
saw 6 Aces come out on one hand (split Aces got an Ace and other lady split Aces got an ace)
guy at next table drunk as a skunk betting 2k a hand left up 25k but had to be dragged away by friends and nobody in the put wanted him to leave - guess they wanted him to lose it back
Trip is +1900
Quote: DocWhat's that, like a 5-mile relocation? Look at it this way -- you'll be that much closer to Black Hawk and Central City.
And 5 miles further away from Las Vegas. Clifton only exist because it's the first exit to Grand Junction. 1 grocery store, a City Market.
4 liquor stores.
Quote: aceofspadesOk - I got into AC about 9:30 - a friend of mine has a room at Bally's for the weekend so I am staying here incognito haha

no offense speed cout is a joke... i understand you maybe don't want to do true count conversions by why know learn the KO count.... no True count conversions required. Also for those 6 deck games in bally's to you need to spread a min of 1-12 and wong out.. if you play all you need a 1-30 spread.... to play those blackchip games in AC correctly and spread accordingly you need to have a bj bankroll of 250k min to play the game properly......y don't you play the quarter games in AC and spread wildly or do you still like the rush of gambling?

Welcome to the boards! Thank you for your insight - I will take it under advisement.

I've heard of Fruita and Palisade, but Clifton? Are you sure there is even one horse there, Buzz?

You can do it with 100K, or even 75K. Anything
less and your ROR (risk of ruin) is very high.
The two biggest mistakes players make is their
BR is woefully small, and their understanding
of the edge they have is all blown out of proportion
in their minds. BJ should be very boring to play
for an AP. If it isn't, you're doing something wrong.

Boring is boring.
Quote: aceofspadesBoring is boring.
No, boring is making money. If your
regular job was emotionally exciting
every day, you'd soon be burnt out
on it. Slow, steady and boring wins
the money race.

My regular job is emotionally challenging.
