After the Refresher in March, I have been practicing my throw from the favored positions. After reading my notes for the 20th time, I figured out that it was my grip AND Keeping the three fingers tight. The toothpicks help!!! Dice now look better!

Met friends at a nearby casino for an overnight trip. Throw was better, mixed results, no disaster to bankroll. Used the GTC betting methods. Got three sessions in. Very crowded noisy tables. Called it a night.

Got up early . When I got to the casino floor, table was almost full . One spot left! The hook!
Not my usual spot, but I could wait until a favored spot opened. More on that later.

One shooter was to my right in the middle of a great roll, he made two points quickly.

Time for a fast buy-in.

I managed to get one place bet out before he 7’d out. Dice get passed to me. Since I had to leave in a short while, I set the Hardways and let them go —–I have practiced from end positions to get a feel for it.

First roll, a 10,6 Hard 10, 6, Hard 4, 10, , Hard 8, Hard 6, 5, Hard 10, 6, 8 ,5, 11, 3 ,…..reality HAS NOT sunk in, lots of similar numbers, THEN Hard 10, Hard 10, Hard 10, Hard 10 , Hard 10 (confirmed later by someone at the table).

I look up to my left, 4 suits have arrived. Kind of unnerving.

Game slows to a crawl , payouts take forever on all the hops and hardways.

Stick person was under big stress to manuever the dice past all the tall stacks of chips on the bets.

Dealers had to think hard about crazy large payouts. (With lots of supervision close by.)

Time blurred, I cannot remember most of the rest of the session, not my normal experience!

Hit every number except the 9, dozens of Hardways said my tablemates (I could not recall).

Crap numbers began to appear, eventually 7’d out.

TIME 1hour 15 minutes. It felt like 10 minutes.

5 times my buy in .

Pit Boss said "well done sir ".

I was really tired after that.

Sorry I cannot be too specific on some of the details on this post.

I did use GTC betting and methods in this session.
