Craps

Think like Conor McGregor

Spread the love


Yesterday morning I arrived at the craps table at 6 AM. There was one shooter at the left top. He had a few thousand in chips in his rack. But, he was from the dark side. Three times I got the dice and stunk. I knew he was in my head. I spent 20 minutes or so passing the dice. He kept sevening out and making a lot of money. They even changed the dice with a new stick. I believed I was far better then him, so I thought like Conor. I stopped passing and took control. First a 17 with three points. That hurt him. Then a 36. That killed him. Most of his money was gone and then he was too.

Last night, I went to the table. I knew I was tired, but I thought a few rolls would not hurt. I looked at to my top right and here he was. He put 50 on the Don’t Pass. I rolled an opening 7. He put 50 more and I rolled a yo. He put 50 more and I rolled another 7. I established a point and rolled ten numbers before sevening out. I felt like Rodney Dangerfield. I don’t get no respect (sic). But, I was happy.

Always great to take down a don’t player not because you want him to lose but because if your take him down you are on and that is always a great feeling. Don’t know who Conor McGregor is but will look him up.

Same day, early afternoon. Returned to table which had about four shooters. Two women top left and two left of stick. Me at SR1. I still felt in the zone from the morning battle. Dice went around and no one had more than a few rolls including me. I used my dice time to recenter. Second time around I rolled a 41. Doubled my buyin. The women said thank you. I nodded my head and left the table. I was spent. Long rolls are much appreciated, but taxing. I constantly watch for flaws or a deviation. Because of the way that I shoot, uneven pressure has to be constantly monitored. At the same time, I try to maintain my rhythm. It disturbs me on some level that other players delay the game. Still, that feeling must not surface beyond a passing thought in order to maintain control. I always think of Billy teaching me breathing. It has proven to be invaluable.
