I only brought enough cash to play the tournament and left my credit cards at home.<br \/>\n\tI was getting ready to exit the casino and start heading home. I had about $60 left in my pocket I decided to put it on the crap table.<\/p>\n<p>\tI was a little upset about my tournament exit as I flopped a straight and lost the hand for all my chips. So I put the last of my money on a random roller $30 6 and 8.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe guy hit my numbers 4 times then I took it down. He shortly sevened out right after that.<br \/>\n\tThe the dice came to me I had a very nice roll and quickly got up to $400.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe poker tournament was a rebuy and I decided if I could raise the $560 I would buy back into the tournament as I would basically be free rolling. I went up and down between $200 and $500. Just couldn&#8217;t seem to get to the $560 I needed. <\/p>\n<p>\tThen I was down to $200 and time was running out to rebuy the tournament. I decided when the dice came around again I would just go for it and put all the money out there.<\/p>\n<p>\tWell I did and I was on a fantastic roll when this high roller came up next to me and started betting with all pumpkins. I kept my normal routine set the dice and threw them softly touching the back wall with a little back spin. <\/p>\n<p>\tThe point was 6 the high roller came out with 3k a number and 1k on all the hardways.<br \/>\n\tI came right out with a hard 8 then another he was pressing every hit. Then I hit the hard 6 for the point.<br \/>\n\tAt this point I am almost where I need to be to rebuy my tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\tCome out roll a five. I roll a bunch of 4s and 10s hard and soft then another hard 6. <br \/>\n\tI stop to count my money and realize I am up to $700 at this point. I say to the dealers take all my bets down. <\/p>\n<p>\tI then say sorry gentlemen I am leaving. The high roller says your not going anywhere. You just keep shooting I&#8217;ll sort you out when it&#8217;s finished. <\/p>\n<p>\tI say ok I go to shoot about another 14 throws with about 4 more hardways before I seven out.<\/p>\n<p>\tI&#8217;m not sure how much the high roller made but I&#8217;m guessing in the six figures as he was allowed to bet above the table max.<\/p>\n<p>\tNeedless to say he took very good care of me. I was able to leave and rebuy my poker tournament. And have about three times the money I came to Atlantic city with.<\/p>\n<p>\tI call that a great roll at the most opportune time. And all that from only $60 left in my pocket.<\/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> OneMoonCircles on January 19, 2013, 6:17 am<\/p>\n<div>As Goldfinger would say &quot;sweeeeet&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tOMC<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ACPA on January 19, 2013, 6:52 am<\/p>\n<div>Great post and it was really capped out if you won the tournament on your rebuy.<\/p>\n<p>\tNoah<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Guest on January 20, 2013, 6:41 pm<\/p>\n<div>Hey Noah I wish I could have finished the story with a tournament win, that really would have been a great story, but it wasn&#8217;t meant to be. <br \/>\n\tStill a great trip none the less!<br \/>\n\tThanks for reading my story and I welcome any comments or other stories.<br \/>\n\tSee ya at the craps table<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> NofieldFive on January 20, 2013, 10:38 pm<\/p>\n<div>Way to go, Situation!<\/p>\n<p>\tNFF<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on January 21, 2013, 2:37 am<\/p>\n<div>At least he did take care of you.
