Just arrived and checked in at Golden Nugget AC - Staying for the night as my host is having her birthday celebration tonight so that should be fun
I Played two hours lost 80% of doubles and splits - Down 3100 Yikes
so far it is not fun at all - Last hand had no money left at table and did not want to go to the room so I was unable to double - if I did I would've won instead I ended up playing the hand and lost because I took an extra hit
These past two weekends are reminding me of my past two Memorial Day weekend trips
Taking a dinner break for host’s birthday party then going to think positively and kick some a$$
I won $250 at my host's birthday party raffle lol
Just ran into a couple of friends playing craps - One friend of mine rolled for about 10 minutes and then I rolled (I was not playing) basically, if I had bet on my friend's roll and my roll I'd have been halfway home
Off to play blackjack... Played a few shoes picked up 1k - Trip now -2100
Played another shoe got 1k - nothing much to write home about other than actually winning some doubles and splits - Trip now -1100
Just lost 1k in a shoe losing 5 doubles - Back to -2100 - Had 200 up -Dealt 2,2 v dealer 4 First split: 2,7 doubled got Ace for 20; Second split 2, 9 doubled got 9 for 20 - Dealer has 4 turns over 7 dealt 4, dealt Ace dealt 5 for 21 WTF! A 1600 swing
Taking a break - was down another 2k and mightily got that back - Trip once again -3100
Just saw a guy get on bended knee and propose to a girl - she said yes but they both appear highly intoxicated
Just had 250 up dealt Ace, Ace v dealer Ace Split Aces: First Ace: 8 for 19; Second Ace: Ace, 7 for 18 - Dealer Ace, turns over 5, draws 10 draws 5 for 21 - A 1000 swing - Trip -4100
Just lost every double in 3 shoes -Going home two week loss 14k
Seriously thinking of retiring from playing - It doesn't feel like a fair game anymore when the dealer consistently makes 21 at will - No trip next weekend—I need a mental break from playing - even though, in the long run, it is all one continuous shoe, and going one weekend versus another weekend has nothing to do with whether I will win or lose, I feel like I need a mental break
