\nAfter the Refresher in March, I have been practicing my throw from the favored positions. After reading my notes for the 20th time, I figured out that it was my grip AND Keeping the three fingers tight. The toothpicks help!!! Dice now look better!<\/p>\n
\tMet friends at a nearby casino for an overnight trip. Throw was better, mixed results, no disaster to bankroll. Used the GTC betting methods. Got three sessions in. Very crowded noisy tables. Called it a night.<\/p>\n
\tGot up early . When I got to the casino floor, table was almost full . One spot left! The hook!
\n\tNot my usual spot, but I could wait until a favored spot opened. More on that later.<\/p>\n
\tOne shooter was to my right in the middle of a great roll, he made two points quickly. <\/p>\n
\t Time for a fast buy-in.<\/p>\n
\tI managed to get one place bet out before he 7’d out. Dice get passed to me. Since I had to leave in a short while, I set the Hardways and let them go —–I have practiced from end positions to get a feel for it.<\/p>\n
\tFirst roll, a 10,6 Hard 10, 6, Hard 4, 10, , Hard 8, Hard 6, 5, Hard 10, 6, 8 ,5, 11, 3 ,…..reality HAS NOT sunk in, lots of similar numbers, THEN Hard 10, Hard 10, Hard 10, Hard 10 , Hard 10 (confirmed later by someone at the table). <\/p>\n
\tI look up to my left, 4 suits have arrived. Kind of unnerving.<\/p>\n
\tGame slows to a crawl , payouts take forever on all the hops and hardways.<\/p>\n
\tStick person was under big stress to manuever the dice past all the tall stacks of chips on the bets.<\/p>\n
\tDealers had to think hard about crazy large payouts. (With lots of supervision close by.)<\/p>\n
\tTime blurred, I cannot remember most of the rest of the session, not my normal experience!<\/p>\n
\tHit every number except the 9, dozens of Hardways said my tablemates (I could not recall).<\/p>\n
\tCrap numbers began to appear, eventually 7’d out.<\/p>\n
\tTIME 1hour 15 minutes. It felt like 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
\t5 times my buy in .<\/p>\n
\tPit Boss said "well done sir ".<\/p>\n
\tI was really tired after that.<\/p>\n
\tSorry I cannot be too specific on some of the details on this post.<\/p>\n
\tI did use GTC betting and methods in this session.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll those hardways must have made you feel really good about your throw. All your practice is working where it counts. Keep up the good work.<\/p>\n
