Due to the pandemic, I had not been to a casino since March of 2020. Being a senior citizen contributed to this. In late September of this year I got Covid, but having been vaccinated and boosted, it was no worse than a bad cold. Now, I felt able to go back to the casinos. During this lengthy hiatus, I did not practice. With no gambling trip in view, I was totally unmotivated. Now things had turned around and I started to practice like crazy.

On Tuesday with a great feeling of trepidation I arrived in AC. Could I recover my skill set after so long a layoff? Would I remember to breathe, my arm position and release point? Tuesday, I could not get on the one open table. Yesterday morning I ventured forth with hopes held high. I got down at 5:30  AM and no table was even open. I was not a happy camper. I decided to play three card poker and the person who oversaw the games said they would open a table at 6:30 AM. I hung out and when they opened the table, it was just me. I was told that they were closing the table at 8 AM to use the crew for a private craps game. 

I began to shoot and it was liking getting back on a horse or even a bike after falling off. I shot lots of teens and 20’s and left at 7:45 AM with $1800. Using the Big Skinny with one PL bet and 2 Come bets to start off worked great. I could not get one big roll, but enough rolls where  I had 3 to 5 hits. When I left, I was told to come back at 11 AM when they were reopening. That turned out to be even better. More to come.
