Warm-up trip before heading to Vegas next week - While driving down the White Horse Pike (road near AC) I saw a sign out in front of a convenience store that said :"Lottery Drinks Samwitches" - I hope the misspelling was intentional.
I checked into the GNAC and Sat down with a dealer I like and played for 5minutes before he was tapped out - Won the first three hands with a double - Lost a hand - Natural - Then won a hand - Then dealer tapped out+1150
Dealer just pulled 8 naturals in one shoe - Even
Switched tables dealer got 6 naturals - Trip is -400 after being up 1100
Got a nice run winning some doubles where I had pressed to 300 - Trip is +200
Dinner time - Ok had dinner and sat down to play -Won the first hand with a 13 v 3 - Won the second hand with a 16 v 6 - Pressed to 300 got a 6,5 v dealer 10 - Doubled and dealt an 8 for 19 -Dealer flipped over a 10 - About 5 hands later same exact scenario with a double down except I had 5,5 v dealer 5 - Drew a 10 for 20 - Dealer flipped over a 6 then drew queen for 21 Ughhhhhhhhh However, I was dealt 3 naturals and got on a nice run - Trip is +1200
I then sat down and before I played a lady at another table told me the dealer I was going to play with was hot - I did not heed her fair warning and played anyway - Had a nice half shoe and picked up 900 - Trip is +2100 time for bed Sweet dreams
Wow talk about sleeping in - Good morning - I mean, good afternoon
First two shoes of the day the dealer has a combined 7 Blackjacks to my one although I had a nice run going so I pressed to 200 and was Dealt 8,8 v 6: First 8 dealt a 2 - Doubled drew a 7 for 17; Second 8 drew a 10 for 18 - Dealer had 6...10 draws a 3 After that I lost 5 hands in a row - Trip +600
FML Switched tables - Won a few hands put up 300 and Got a split 9,9 v 9 Dealt a 10 on each - Dealer flips over an Ace -Trip is -200
Got on a nice run and in about 15 hands was back to even and then some - Trip is +1100
Ok took a brief respite and came down to play - The first shoe started looking bad - I had pressed to 300 and Dealt 2,2 v 2: First 2 dealt an Ace then 4 then a 10 for 17; Second 2 dealt an 8 - doubled drew a 6 for 16 - Dealer 2 flipped over 6 dealt a 10 for 18
A few hands later once again pressed to 300 - Dealt 8,8 v dealer 9: First 8 dealt a 10 for 18; Second 8 dealt a King for 18 -Dealer flips an Ace — Dealer change after the shoe and I went on a nice run - won 3 doubles; Dealt 3 naturals and Was able to press nicely up to 300 - Trip is +2100
Started off nicely and it seems that whenever I press to 300 I get a double and lose - so, no surprise it happened again - I won't bore you with the details but after one shoe I had lost 600; Second shoe began with a dealer change and a change of luck, so to speak, as I hit a couple of naturals followed by winning 2 doubles
By the end of the shoe I picked up some nice change - Trip ended +3350
Getting tired - going to grab some pizza and go relax in the room and call it a good trip
Vegas in a little over 2 weeks:-)
