I wanted to give a update on the refresser class I took in Chicago 3 weeks ago as to my progress in the casino’s here in Blackhawk Colorado. The first weekend, I won money on 4 of the 6 tables I played. I took the advice of Frank and put it in play. The second weekend, I had a 46 roll and made 8 points, which I thought was better than I have done in a long time. I also had a casino manager come down to the pit and watch me and he told me I should give classes on how to throw. I told him that this was my first time. He said : Yea,Right! It made me feel like I have control of the game. Last weekend, I played another casino that ranks the longest amount of throws for the day. It’s a 4×8 display and hangs for all to see. Just goofing around, I threw 28 times and made # 1. The floor manager came over to me and stood next to me with his suit, picked up the dice, and started swinging his arm back and forth and looked at me and said, "Is this how you do it? " Being the person I am, And being just shown by Skinny in Chicago, I grabed his shoulder and said, Swing from your shoulder and quit bending your elbow. Now, let’s look at your grip. He looked at me and just busted out smiling and left the table, telling me to have a good day. I cannot explain to you in words the feeling of having the upper hand.
I have to thank Dom, Frank, Nick, Skinney, and the other one (Stick man?).

The story about the floor manager is priceless. I almost fell out of my chair when I read it, I was laughing so hard.
Handling situations like that with humor is the best way to deflect anything being directed at you. Great job all around.

Encouragement means a lot.
It’s nice to have a sounding board to re-affirm progress.
Has anyone else from the Chicago class gone to the casino’s since the class?
Just curious on the others.
