Butch and Lefty went to CCBH early since Lefty is leaving for a warmer destination for the weekend.

Finding the table empty they settled in and Butch began right away with winning hands. Lefty was cool
but his dice looked good. After Lefty’s second hand a short fat kid comes to the table with 2 red chips
and wants to roll. He puts one red on the line and throws the dice off the end of the table, his second
toss makes it just past the center area but no one says anything. It is a 5. He puts his other red chip as odds, but the dealer says it has to be even. He doesn’t understand so she makes change and puts 4 whites
behind and one in the rack. He makes the 5 and wins, stacks it all on the line and gets another 5. He
promptly makes the 5 and wins again. He stacks it again but Lefty can’t stand it and tells him to just put
5 on the line and the rest behind.He gets a 6 and tries to hand 2 whites to the dealer and asks for a 5and6.
The stickman is telling him to drop the chips and the dealer is telling him its a 3 dollar minimum table.
He is frozen until Butch calmly says " I think he wants a 2 dollar Yo" . He gets his bet and throws the
dice (short again) . They take his bet down and its starts again. Where did my bet go? Sir, it was a
one roll bet. Why didn’t you tell me? You didn’t ask.

He finally sevens out and Butch has another middle 20s roll. Lefty gets the dice and it starts again.
The ploppy pulled the bottom of his tee shirt up and loaded his chips in it for the ride to the cashier.
The boxman is pleading with him to put the chips down on the table and they will count them for him.
Butch and Lefty quickly snatch up their new passline bets as the chips come cascading onto the table.
After the round-up he gets 160 dollars. 16 times his buyin. As he leaves Butch asks, "you must have read a book"? The ploppy says " Nah, I am good at everything I do."

Lefty then proceeds to take charge of the table with lots of 6s and lots of pressing, after the colorup
they head out of town just before the approaching snow storm.
