First off, i hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas.

My wife and i spent the holidays in South Lake Tahoe at one of the Caesars properties, the room was comped. During our stay, 5 feet of snow fell, so it was a beautiful white Christmas.

I usually play early in the mornings and early afternoon. Then my wife and i would do fun day trips, such as the Tahoe Queen Paddle Boat cruise across Lake Tahoe into Emerald Bay, absolutely breathtaking! Also horse drawn sleigh rides and renting Ski Doo snow machines.

Like most trips, had some ups and downs at the table. One morning i had a nice profitable session where i turned $300. into $2800. I left the table and went over to Starbucks for a decaf coffee, to critique my play. Came back to the table which is a nice 12 footer. There were 3 people playing and one person was at my favorite spot sl1, so i took sl2. The dice came my way within a minute or two. It was a $10. min. table. I placed a fire bet with the dealers on for a buck. As always i had the dealers on the pass line with full odds, the dealers love me for it. As usual i was the only one tipping.

Once again i was having a nice session, after about 20 min. of tossing i was up on all the place #s and was hitting all the hardways as well. By now i had the dealers on the pass line for $10. with full odds, also the dealers on the hardways for $7. each. I had taken enough profits and was ready to start full pressing on all my place bets that were up to $150. to $200. each.

I felt like i was in the zone with a good rhythm going, since there was just a few players, the payoffs were quick and little delay in getting the dice back in my hand. I got the dice and set, looked down at my landing spot, 2 woman walked up to the table and threw 3 bills right at my landing zone. I put the dice back down, the stick man pulled the dice back and wispered to me, idiots!! The woman looked like gypsies, loud and rude. They wanted $300. in nickle chips. They were presented they’re chips in 3 stacks. At that point the dice were delivered back to me, i set the dice again and looked at my landing area, the lady was picking up 2 stacks of chips and proceeded to drop all 40 chips all over my landing area!!! 😡 I put the dice down again, and muttered what the F&%k!!! one of the dealers shouted what the hell!! After what seemed like an eternity to clean up, the dice were presented back to me. I set again and looked at my landing spot, the woman had just pulled her hand full of chips only to drop them all again 😡 😡 I won’t repeat the language that was used at the table at that moment, you can imagine!! Well after all this nonsense, my ryhthm was shot, you can imagine the next toss was a 7 😡 😡 😡 If Dom and Brothleman were at the table there probably would have been an international incident!!

I know distractions are part of the game, i usually am able to deal with most interruptions without losing my ryhthm, it takes alot to get me upset, this did the trick. After this, to cool down, i went and had a massage.

Now that it has been several days since this happened, i have to look at it from a humorus side. If i had been standing at the table not playing but witnessing this debacle, i would have been crying laughing so hard. Oh well chalk it up to a memorable session.

I’m sure many of my GTC friends have similar stories, lets hear them.
