    GTC Atlantic City Thoughts

    Just back from another rewarding GTC class weekend. I’m tired, but with a smile on my face after such an awesome class!

    The students in the Atlantic City class were simply outstanding and a pleasure to work with. Always nice to see old friends including Team "Under The Radar" alums, and to make many new friends as well.

    The group of Team "Under The Radar" students in this class were especially great. Admittedly I’m biased, but I’ll predict they will all excel as their craps journey continues.

    Congratulations to PaulC and Dice Pilot’s Team "Top Gun" for winning Sunday’s box numbers contest. Well done all!!!

    And BIG congratulations and shout out to The Goddess and Dice Pilot, both of whom were promoted to Full Instructor, and to Dr. Crapology who was promoted to Assistant Instructor! Well deserved promotions to outstanding members of the GTC instructional staff that will surely benefit our students.

    Many stories about the Atlantic City class, instruction and time at the craps tables will be told as attendees get back home. There were some monster rolls, fun times, great laughs and memories made.

    It is always great to read what is written after attending a GTC class. My thanks to Frank, Dom and all of the students who helped make this yet another "classy" class and awesome weekend.

    Timmer is way to modest. He too was promoted to Assistant Instructor. As he mentioned Dice Pilot and Goddess got the well deserved promotions to Instructor. All three were well deserved. Congratualtions to all.

    Timmer is right on about AC. The students were fantastic. As always I think those mentoring the students learn as much, if not more, as the students.

    Memphis/Tunica here we come.

    Dice Pilot had lots of great rolls, one of which was a 38 roll that was a thing of beauty.

    He rolled just one craps number the entire hand, threw a ton of hardways and made six points.

    Pit Boss and I ended up with sore hands from all the fist bumps and high-fives we were giving.

    This roll of Dice Pilot’s was an example of on-axis dice influencing at it’s finest.

    Being with good friends, having good rolls, and coloring up with lots of casino money. It just doesn’t get any better.

    Congrats Timmer for making so quickly to the top! I was glad that there were six of our students at the table that were able to cash in enough chips in the end to pay for their refreshers, advanced and maybe a few tune ups along the way. I threw one ace/deuce and the rest were box numbers. Two stick changes and over an hour due to all of the prop bets that were out there. $200 hardways were hitting and made a big payday for one student. Also a big thanks to all of the students that were tipping the shooter. Much appreciated and you are always welcome to shoot with us in the future. Class acts all around.

    Well said boys; one more thing about the students that were at the tables that we went to. They were extermly gracious in giving us their spots, blocking and generally being great AP players. It was great to see a table full of GTC’ers because they all knew what to do…and it paid off.

    Timmer, a big CONGRATS to you, and very well deserved. You also didn’t mention your great rolls that made everyone a ton of money.
    You are far too modest.

    I agree, the students at the table were terrific. They followed the GTC commandments, and remembered to tip. Thank you, and you would be welcome at the table any time.

    I know I speak for my colleagues when I say thanks for your kind words, Mark.

    Not to worry… A "big head" just isn’t my style…

    Be sure to add GTC Primer Grad and "Under The Radar" alumni to your message board profile, Mark.

    Thanks again for your congrats…

    We haven’t yet mentioned much about the 40+ beauty our friend Dr. Crapology rolled during the GTC Atlantic City weekend.

    Not being above doing what all the winning golf pros and baseball batting champions do, that is, one-on-one coaching, Doc signed up for and took a GTC Tune-Up on Friday.

    Nothing like having your pre-shot routine and toss looked at by the watchful eyes of the best of the best!

    The tune-up tweaks were evident as Doc had one of the most consistent shots around during the weekend. Not a coincidence that his chip rack filled up so quickly.

    It was nice to profit from his newly tuned-up, spot-on toss we were all envious of.

    Thanks Doc. I was misty-eyed all the way to the cashier’s cage. 😉
