I hit Rivers yesterday on the way into a consulting gig for $4+K going back around 130pm today.

I’ll see if I can sneak out. Probably closer to 1:45 PM

Leaving here shortly. I like the table closer to the exit. Seems to bounce less black and white checked flannel shirt.

I had a pretty sweet 2 roll PSO. Keep breaking my wrist, opening my fingers and punctuating my seven-out with a flourish.

It was chicken feeder day! This one guy couldn’t stop throwing hardways.

Yes. Nice playing with you.

I guess you get spoiled when you leave up about 50% your buy in because you feel you just couldn’t get going. 🙂

JesJac – how do you like the table action at Rivers? For me it’s not bad but it is extremely difficult to get my preferred shooting position. Usually very crowded and sometimes table limits are above my threshold.

I have very little difficulty getting my position. The dealers know me, many of the players know me and I ask politely if I can play in. Sometimes other players tell people to let me in so they can get back their money 🙂

As for the table action — if you mean the bounce — the only table I like is the small one closest to the exit. The other small one bounces more and I do not do as well on it. I only played the long ones once a while ago and I was not at a point where I paid as much attention to the bounce as I was still working on my throw.

That long one was a pleasant experience though I lost money. That was the day a little while after I had received my table. The thing about it was that I made the same mistake on that long table I was making at home and got exactly the same dice reaction. That was my first reality that the GTC full table I bought was exactly the same as the casino tables.

On many occasions that has again and again been borne out. What I am doing at home on my table is an accurate indicator of what I will do at the various casinos.

Since I am only there for a few hours either before my plane or, this time after I arrived and then today, before leaving.

Have you ever eaten at the Frog Bar? The food there is some of the best I have eaten. The meats are excellent but there is something about the shrimp they have there. Usually large shrimp are a bit bland and flavorless. Theirs is always tastely as lobster.

I will be back in town on the 18th to teach the weekend. Friday night I will have free and there is a 100% chance I will be there.
