I just rode that pony.  After getting to play a couple of days during the week, I had hit my stop point.  Dice looked great&#8230;didn&#8217;t win.  Still enjoyed myself, being alone for me is a good thing.<br \/>\n\tI am leaving Friday, and wife is coming in with 3 co-workers, to take my room for the week end.  <\/p>\n<p>\tStanding and talking with the pit boss, thanking him for taking care of me, I get the call.  &quot;Did you win anything for me? etc&#8230;etc&#8230;I&#8217;ll be there in less than an hour.&quot;  Similar situation&#8230;I have a full tank of gas, and my take home container in the fridge.  Oh darn!  I have to play again.  At this table, all the dealers know my wife and I well, and were really ragging me.  Stickman says, &quot;stay focused, and win  Karen some money.&quot;<br \/>\n\tThirty five minutes&#8230;the only winning run I had.  It was also the best concentration, goal oriented , of anything I had done.  I think sometimes, I just enjoy being there too much, and don&#8217;t work hard.<\/p>\n<p>\tI was &quot;all in&quot;.  For the best of reasons.  I would not, and could not, have done this without a proper 401G.  It takes the pressure off.  Karen was happy, I was happy, and they had a great week end.  I went to 5th grade cheer practice, and fund raiser.  It doesn&#8217;t get any better than that!<\/p>\n<p>\tShoot with passion&#8230;<br \/>\n\tDavidM<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I suspect people have a whole lot of reasons for gambling, some good, some not so good but reasons non the less.
