So I made the casino trip. The trip is the reason why I haven’t blogged in a few days. I have been away and the only internet access that I had in the room was my mobile phone. I didn’t want to goto the biz center to use the internet.
The trip was fun. Thursday night we all ordered room service in Glenn’s suite and played a friendly round of texas hold-um. We took people who didn’t play poker and teamed them up with people who could play. Dean our company president and I were a team. I told him I don’t know how he does business deals, because he had no poker face what so ever! I had a ton of bad hands, but in the end I actually won. I got $200 to share with Dean. I took my $100 and went to the casino.
Dan showed me the basic’s of craps. It was allot easier to learn with a table in front of me. Keith had been trying to teach me for 2 weeks to no avail. What he taught me made it easier for dan to show the fundamentals.
My first time out playing craps I went up $70. By the second night a bad run at a more expensive table caused me to loose all my winnings and also the $200 from poker and other winnings. I ended up putting up a hundred of my own money to keep playing. I figured that I was going to have spent that money anyway, so why not. By 11PM on friday I was down to my last $15, then Carrie and Alyssa came along to the craps table.
One of the guys running the table convinced them both to put money down and play. Alyssa sort of ticked the guy off the day before when he was a dealer at poker so he was razzing her. Glad they both decided to play because my luck turned around and the next thing I knew I had all my initial money back and I was up $50. By the time I called it a night I was down $30 of my own money. It was my fault because after I lost all of my winnings I dipped back into my initial cash like I said I wouldn’t. All in all I had a great time.
I need to play craps again and get better at it. It was way more fun than black jack.
