It felt good to get back there and resume the old routine. I had net gains at two casinos. Resorts win should have been a killing. PTSD after busts.

Somehow I have to believe you would bet zero if you could- you know- to avoid bust disaster.

As I say in these awkward circumstances, glad it wasn't the RF! I am not very aggressive out of the gate. I did get a max quad back at Caesars, but it was vanilla. When you cut corners, you can easily cut off your nose to spite your face.

I detect a tone of sarcasm, but if I had to give generic advice to anyone on a gambling forum -- you nailed it :up: .

Most casino games can be played for free online, or you can watch videos of other people exhausting resources. If you enjoy the b&m casino environment, most of them have lounge areas where you can sit and "play" on your phone or tablet.

I'll have to institute and enforce a three coin minimum rule on future trips. I can't be worried about losing once I'm playing. A $150 hit would be a lot more rewarding.

Fruitful Friday. I won my $25 Caesars table FP on a Yo. I won $14 on my $25 quarter JOB FP. Of course I hit the dollar machine and who arrives but Straight. Eighteen minutes later, he barged in on quarter! I do wish he’d call. I wasted 35 minutes waiting for the woefully unreliable Harrah’s shuttle. Back inside, I hit an actual quad. Net Day: +$140. A lucky 13 TCs.

That’s the path to take.

It looks like a garbage in garbage out rinse and repeat of last week. Some worry about when to stop. My problem is when to start. At least I’m not using the minus sign in my posts.

Tortured Tuesday. I won my $25 Caesars table FP on a self rolled seven. I won $12 on my $25 machine dollar JOB FP. I soon hit a small quad. Switching to quarter yielded a max quad fifteen minutes later. I treaded water for forty five minutes until a medium quad. The next max quarter quad took ninety minutes. I hit dollar carousel and went dizzy on tilt. But I was bailed out by a max quad deuces. Net Day: -$64. 153 TCs.
