First we have<br \/>\n\tbeen playing more at home on the tables that seem to best fit my throw. The<br \/>\n\ttables here are very different, RS  was to high, CB was to long and bouncy and<br \/>\n\tGN for me atleast was unplayable with the bounce. Now let me indicate i<br \/>\n\tam not complaining about the tables, i was just not good enough to figure them<br \/>\n\tout, some of you are. P was a short table with good bounce but they only had<br \/>\n\tthe right side of the table open all the time (board placed in middle). We tried <br \/>\n\tfrom the very end, both Bob and i had ok rolls, but as soon as they saw we were<br \/>\n\t dice setting they took the board away so we had the throw the entire table. We<br \/>\n\tleft and came back the next day and as soon as they saw us throw they took it away<br \/>\n\tagain.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe green place has a decent table and bounce and i went there 4 times and could<br \/>\n\tnever get st1.<\/p>\n<p>\tSo most of my frustration was playing on varied tables . The last night i got on<br \/>\n\tthe 14&#8242; at AQ and that had a nice bounce and after a couple of getting used to<br \/>\n\trolls i did well. toss looked very good and repeated many 4,6,8 much like at<br \/>\n\thome. Right away i got the &quot; you must have seen that video to stuff&quot;<br \/>\n\tthat seems to be the saying at every table in town. My second nice roll the<br \/>\n\tpit boss stopped my and said no more of that, the dice need to roll.  I said<br \/>\n\ti dont understand, after they leave my hand i have no idea what they are going <br \/>\n\tto do. He said no more of that landing flat, hitting the wall and then just falling<br \/>\n\tdown. i want them to roll. I new what he meant, but i just kept throwing<br \/>\n\tand it was ok. <\/p>\n<p>\tWhen i was done i asked him if that was ok and  he said not really, anyway<br \/>\n\twhen you see the folks at Golden Touch tell them that stuff does not work anyway.<br \/>\n\tI said well if i ever see any one like that i will pass that along..<\/p>\n<p>\tNext day went back and had two more sessions that were fun. Last one had nice roll<br \/>\n\twith 5 6&#8217;s in a row. . The crew was talking about setting and the video, stick guy said it is all<br \/>\n\tluck anyway, box man said i dont think i agree with that. <\/p>\n<p>\tTime to go i noted to the boxman that i was looking for a place to play here in<br \/>\n\tLaughflin, since  i did not want to play at RS and would i be welcome here. He said<br \/>\n\the is ok with it, just try to not get to slow, Said the night pit boss does not<br \/>\n\tlike setting so he was not sure about that.  I thanked him for letting me play.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI got beat up pretty good for 3.5 days so when i did get to play under the better<br \/>\n\tconditions, i was not betting as much as i should be so my good rolls did not make<br \/>\n\tup for the all the bad stuff. So in the end i was a loser.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe good side was that all this nonsense again revealed the one absolute in my throw<br \/>\n\tthat makes me hit 4\/6\/8 over and over or makes me worse than a ramdom<br \/>\n\tthrower. I have to play where i have that, or i will not be a very good.<\/p>\n<p>\tIn the end  it was a costly lesson, but a lesson learned none the less.<\/p>\n<p>\tgman<\/p>\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> Pointman on July 27, 2012, 7:00 pm<\/p>\n<div>Those trips happen.
