\nI have been having some real lousy practice sessions of late. I was throwing exclusively from SL1.
\n\tI switched to SL2 which moved me a couple of feet away from the usual drop zone.
\n\tTo keep the same drop zone I had to add some swing and stretch out.
\n\tI had a dramatic turn around and had three good rolls back to back that would make money at the table.
\n\tI have found that many times I throw better from SL2 or a hybrid between SL1 and SL2. <\/p>\n
\tIn any event, it was a reminder that I (we) should practice from different GTC positions to be ready for any table conditions. <\/p>\n
\tWhat do you think?<\/p>\n

So I try to get the 1 slot whenever possible and will back out of the other guys way completely to the extent that I will be 3 or 4 feet back watching. I move back when there is a payout to collect or bet to be made. I also will catch the Dealers eye and indicate what I want when there’s a good dealer standing across from me. I keep twenty or thirty in my hand for that purpose.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> GameDay on March 20, 2013, 6:52 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> GameDay on March 20, 2013, 6:54 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on March 21, 2013, 12:36 pm<\/p>\n \tDominator<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> T-Burg on March 22, 2013, 12:23 am<\/p>\n \tMay the dice be with you<\/p>\n \tT-Burg<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> brothelman on March 22, 2013, 9:20 am<\/p>\n I have been having some real lousy practice sessions of late.

\n\tI think that you are correct when you say that SL1 is too cramped and you feel constrained because you do not want to go over the line. I have been admonished at one fine establishment on the Boardwalk for going over the line. Once you step into the SL1-SL2 area you can eliminate this issue altogether.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tI also step back when I am at SL1. But I did not think of keeping the chips in my hand for a bet. That is a great idea. Thanks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tUsing the I in the PASS LINE written on the felt as a marker to set the dice
\n\tThis will set me up around SL1 and a half.
\n\tAs I set up my partner simply takes a small step back and I have ample room without any chance of interfering with the stick or crossing the center line.
\n\tThis is where I have found myself feeling the most comfortable.
\n\tAfter the throw and the bets are paid take a quick look at the dice in the center of the table.
\n\tThis gives you a quick reference point on what you will need to set the next roll.
\n\tThen I look back at the I on the layout and wait for the dice
\n\tThis seems to keep me focused especially on longer rolls where there is a wait time for the dice to return after payouts.<\/p>\n
