RIchardM,
After last Fridays loss which ended our win streak at 7 trips. We now play twice a week.
Yesterday we started a new streak, a small win but it felt good after our loss. We played two sessions
at our fav place and won both times. I even won at VP during our break. Jim fell victim to a late
bettors chips incoming during his backswing. It ended his hand at 26. The guy didn’t even know he did anything wrong. My best hand of 22, I made the points of 4,5, and 8 in the first 8 rolls. It is nice to have 3 hits with only 2 bets out.
I have been spending a lot of practice time on my grip, I pick up with my thumb and middle finger and
add the outsides at setup. My outsides were always short. Now I look at where my fingers are on the edges
of the dice and its easy to line them up. It is getting more comfortable. Since Vegas in Sept. I have been throwing at least 200 throws a day, Even 300 a couple times.
Stop by on Friday if you will be in Vegas.

Great to hear all is well in Colorado. I too have been working on my grip and pick up. I noticed some odd rolls and went back to periodically pushing my fingers down the dice to level them with the table. Then I slide then up and grip with all fingers straight across. Some times while practicing my grip I will level with the table, slide up and grip with all three fingers and then pull the outside fingers off just to get the feel of holding them with just my middle finger and thumb.

Periodically leveling with the table while at the casino has been helpful and has helped to keep me focused on what I call giving myself the best to be successful.

Came back from Laughlin nicely ahead this last trip on only a few rolls. The table I like to play was too crazy to play on with screaming drunks so I quit playing early and called it a night.

Love the trip updates.

Looking for a Colorado update. Maybe the Sherriff finally caught up with the gang.

Wanted! Two GTC Prospectors.

Denver and Gold Country.

Butch and Lefty have made three trips up the hill since Vegas. A nice win, a small win, and
a very small loss. Last nite at our second fav place Butch got set up and sevened out his first two
times with the dice. Lefty five counts him and didn’t drop in his hole. But the 3rd time with the
dice Butch comes through with a nice 28 hand. We were set up inside and Butch kept banging out 8’s and 9’s
We colored up and moved to our fav but gave back what we had won.

Lefty had a hand of 6 that turned out great. He came out on the 10, we took odds and he threw a hard ten. He again came out on an easy ten, he drops a red on the hard ten, and throws a hard ten. He comes out on the 6 and sevens out.

Carmello was at the table for a little while but didn’t remember us.

My son JustJoe is in town and wants to go up with us on Friday. He has a great shot with lots of
backspin and soft, soft, soft. I often wonder how good I could have been when I was in my youth.
