You left out the late hard way bet that comes over your hand after the dice are out and you are trying to grip them, then there is the next hard way bet that hits your hand.

lmao

What do we expect people play this game not knowing what the bet pays how it pays when it pays and most of all where is there money placed on the table.

This game is a social drinking game and the party groups have figured that out.

Bman, these are the Yahoos that pay the price to let us play the way we do. May they live long and prosper.

Shoot with passion…or pass the dice to Tom

Here is a little bit of what I put up with during a recent had, David.

Doc was so impressed with all that I tuned out he was hi fifing me it was only a 27 hand.

Multiple buy in ins for a grand one kid for twenty and his buddy for ten all while I had the dice in my hand.

The guy in the end who only bet the point which was a ten constantly begging me to throw a ten he made nothing on the roll.

The guy next to him constantly throwing money for the hard ways when I had the dice in my hand now mind you he was throwing it directly over my hand The two kids that bought in for twenty and ten late betting every time I picked up the dice.

The two players constantly moving there chips in my landing zone, why they could not leave them alone is beyond me.

The waitress. Great cs.

The two kids nest to me yelling in my ear.

Then I start the hard way run and all hell breaks loose everyone and there brother is betting them there was 11 people at the table man the game came to a halt.

But like they say it is all part of the game and you need to deal with it, you may start a roll with four of you on the table but get hot and the table will fill up fast.

Gripe #6. The bored crew hearing a tune in their head, banging the stick or drumming their hands on the table. At times, the tune is not in their head, but on their lips. Whistling, humming or singing. Early on in my GTC career, I thought that they were out too get me. By now, I have seen this behavior so often with CF’s shooting, that I have come to recognize it for what it is. Bored crew.

Bman, gotta be some kind of "Test" for you. I try to consider it the "entertainment" part of our journey. (doesn’t always work)

Lately, for me, it is the "wanna be" shooters driving me nuts. After 4th or 5th shot, here it comes. "Did you read ____, ? How much do you practice? Do you- set for 7’s, only set hard ways?. taken any classes?" etc…etc ad enfinem (sp) Usually I just leave. Best comment was from a dealer, "don’t bother the shooter, he’s making me money." I have had to adjust my playing time drastically, to get away from these yahoos. In Vegas I imagine it is tough to find empty table time.

I think you handle adversity at the table, better than anyone I have played with. You could have just had a couple off days! 😉 😛

Bman almost sounds like Motor City in Detroit. The only thing you are missing is late hop bets.

Many of the local Detroit players have to ‘School the Dice" before they shoot – drop them on the table or bounce them off the wall in front of them 4 or 5 times.
It’s amasing how the right number comes to you when the dice are about to be released or in the air and you have to hop that number.

It’s fun to watch the street game kinda played in the casino.

Actually if you sit around and watch the game it is very amusing.

David I have come a long way with handling the table issues and still have a ways to go but thank you very much

Philman what about the stick guy who thinks he is in the majors chasing a curve ball in the dirt, and his stick is the bat.

Bman I have to admit that for the little time I have know you you have relax more about things out of your control . Not all players have even heard of some of the things you expect them to follow .
Just think back before you took a class what did you know about the 20 commandments .
Even after a class it takes time to break old habits .
You are a great ambassador to this journey that we are all taking . It just takes more time for others .
Good Rolling

I have seen sticks who move their stick in all directions. Only when they interfere with my shot does it bother me. Thankfully, that is a rare event. I do get annoyed at my dealer when I have been tipping and they fail to alert me that I do not have a given number. The very number that I had all along. I make a joke about it, but it is annoying. Am I tipping for some other unknown reason? I do not ask for much, but do not give me nothing.

My favorite stickman position is when they take the stick and plant the straight end about six to eight inches out on the table like they are guarding some imaginary gate to the castle. My feeling is, if you don’t want me to set, just tell me. There are many other places that will take my action. I guess though, this is their way of telling me 😀

The Contractor

I don’t like it when I take a rest room break and find when I come back a DP playing with my chips in my spot . Also being hit in head by stick . Told the pit that I did not drive 2,000 miles for this . If know I would have brought my HARD HAT .
A game with just you and no one else can be interesting at times since I listen more then talk. I have heard some stories about shoes and other things .
Like being the fly on the wall . 😀 😀 😀
Good Rolling. 😀 😀
