<\/p>\n

I traveled down to the land of the Pilgrims for my usual hair cut and craps visit last week. \u00a0I haven’t been able to talk about it until now. I was just too shook up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Covid and my heavy work schedule has caused it be ten months since my last visit to this particular location.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had to get a hair cut closer to home up till now.<\/span><\/p>\n

I built a special practice table for this place when it was built. I used insole material used for sneakers and reversed boat seat cover material. And I saw positive results.<\/span><\/p>\n

But after six months of working and sleeping with no bouncy bounce I was real shook up with these tables. \u00a0I have had encounters with Suits, Dealers, crazy A-holes flinging their arms, jackasses dropping their money into my landing zone while I released the dice, you name it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But these tables just rattled me. I was nervous, shook up. I was at the table that was usually full. Why was the table that I usually played by myself all afternoon on Fridays full with ten shooters and I was on an empty table at stick left?<\/span><\/p>\n

I had already moved to this table from another when a jackass dropped his bills in my landing zone when I released the dice. I wasn’t about to stay and roll his numbers. <\/span><\/p>\n

There were only three tables open out of six. $25 <\/span><\/p>\n

I do like the Dealers and Suits here.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wasn’t having long rolls and did not always have odds out of fear but managed to re-roll the points I was afraid most almost immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n

The dice would not sit still after hitting the wall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I looked straight into the eyes of the female dealer as if she could will me the answer to my situation. She did not look away. It was as if she was granting me the ability to push on without fear. Did she admire Bruce Lee as much as me? \u00a0I wondered. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I dropped one hundred on the hard ways. The dealer asked me if I desired to cover the hard way. I replied yes through my muffled mask face.<\/span><\/p>\n

I rolled a hard six on the second roll recouping the three hundred I lost on the last roll.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was too rattled to continue. I walked over to an empty table and leaned over just staring at the felt. \u00a0It occurred to me that I did not get my hair cut before heading to the Casino the way I usually did. \u00a0 The traffic was heavy. \u00a0Could this have tilted me? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I plan on getting my hair cut before heading to the Casino like in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will update you.<\/p>\n

Don’t really have any advice to give you.\u00a0 Seems to me you should have left, got your hair cut, and headed home.\u00a0 Sometimes it simply isn’t your day.\u00a0 And why would you put $100 (I assume $25 on each hard way number) with such a large house edge if things were going so bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Learn from the lesson and move on to a better opportunity in the future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
