Was in AC this past week and started playing at my favorite casino. Not a place to stay,but play. Get my spot at SR!. First time with the dice, a 19. Next, a 16. I do not want to leave this table. Dice go to SL1, when boxperson announces SL1 last shooter at this table. Due to maintenance, we are moving to table on our right. I do not wait for SL1 to finish, but go over to retreive my SR1 spot. Table not yet open. A elderly gent is already standing in my spot and he was not even at the other table. Sticklady to be tells him he does not belong there. He ignores her and not another word was said.

Now for the bad news. The table had a new felt. The dice were bouncing off the table. The elderly gent in my SR1 kept commenting on it. I fear for the future of my favorite place. I know it will be changing by being improved, yet I don’t know how the tables will be.

The next day I play at a different casino nearby. I am in SR1. I see a shooter in SL2 using the throw. He is not doing too well. Yet, the boxman who I will call Jerry starts talking to the table. He comments on shooters with the throw, which they probably learned from a book and proceeds to demonstrate the throw like a spastic. When the dice come to me, I only roll for 10 rolls. I make three points, two of which are the hard six. Jerry refuses to look at me. I had bet the hard six each time and I am tipping the crew. I say to myself when I am done, "screw you Jerry." I stare at him for a moment and then leave.
