I was wiped. I was ready for shut-eye.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The stairs to the rooms require you to walk by the craps tables. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t walk by and not jump in when your favored spot is open. Before you know it a couple of hours pass by and you are having the time of your life with a full table of Craps shooters. Ya, it happened to me. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Great memory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>2019<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Made the drive this week for a 24 hour visit to the Casino. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I brought a large bag of sandwiches and a bag of dice to throw in the room. It surprised me how many sandwiches it takes to keep a Craps players fire stoked.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The (slate like table base) picks didn\u2019t work for me.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I can handle a bouncy table but not those drop dead survices. The afternoon crowd didn\u2019t work for me either. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I played the long table I have had success on prior trips with to unwind from the drive. Stick right was open next to the stick. I was chatting it up with the box while having some success but I was distracted by the chit chat so I took a walk.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I used the shower and jet tub and that almost ended my day. Called my wife at<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>8P.M. and told her I may just wake up the next day after that relaxing soak. ha<\/p>\n<p>Another sandwich and a few cokes enabled me to go down and check out the action.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I played one table a short time on one table and moved to my last pick of the night. I settled into stick-left<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>for a session that would be the most fantastic time with the most fantastic players. These guys were awsome.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>My shooting came alive. How could it not when in the company of the level of shooters gathered.<\/p>\n<p>Called it a night at 1:30 A.M..<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I checked out early the next day and threw my sandwich bag in the car. I had to check out the action before leaving.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Grabbed stick-left and had another fantastic play for two hours before leaving.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My grip and toss was right on. Practice payed off after this long year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"wpfa-279\" class=\"wpforo-attached-file\"><a class=\"wpforo-default-attachment\" href=\"\/\/crapsclub.goldentouchcraps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpforo\/default_attachments\/1617843051-room.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i class=\"fas fa-paperclip\"><\/i>\u00a0room.jpeg<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"wpfa-280\" class=\"wpforo-attached-file\"><a class=\"wpforo-default-attachment\" href=\"\/\/crapsclub.goldentouchcraps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpforo\/default_attachments\/1617843151-room-tub.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"fas fa-paperclip\"><\/i>&nbsp;room-tub.jpeg<\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on April 8, 2021, 2:33 pm<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The movie test &#8211; when everything is right at the table and you have seen that movie before.
