\tHi all. I am really excited to make this post this evening. Today my wife and I went to a casino in an old steel town in Pennsylvania. I have been to this casino several times and I really like the tables and dealers. The only table that was open when we arrived was totally full. I waited for the second table to open which it did within the hour. It originally opened as a $25, but they dropped it back to $15 fairly quickly. My first shoot was an 11, which was OK for the first shot of the morning. My second was a 14, definitely heading the right direction. Then my third was a really nice 30. This is my best shooting in a casino since attending the class in Vegas in October. I now know what being in the zone means. The CFR’s had cost me a bunch as it seems many would get past the 5 count, so I’d put up a Come bet for $15 with $15 odds, plus $1 for the crew, and the devil would show on #6 or #7. So, with the 30 I shot, I made back all of my loss and ended up with a small profit over my buy in. I kept the Dealers on the line, and on the box numbers as well. I think they may have made $50 – $60 on my roll. It was great! I could have pressed my 6 and 8 much earlier, but I was really focusing on my shooting. One thing at a time. I figured as long as I made my losses back, plus a little extra profit on my roll, it was a success.<\/p>\n

\tThanks to Timmer and the "Under the Radar" team, and of course Frank and Dominator for helping me out during the class. My practice sessions are definitely making a big difference. Thanks again. I agree: "Winning IS the most fun!"<\/p>\n

\t— Chevy<\/p>\n

Nice. I play up there occasionally. Grew up just outside of Hellertown.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nice report. You are definitely headed in the right direction. You are correct regarding "one thing at a time." New GTC students find it difficult to concentrate on their toss as well as the vagaries of betting.<\/p>\n

\tWas your wife at the table with you? If so, consider letting her do the betting and raising (you make the pass line with odds bet)
\n\t and work as a team. If not, do as you are doing for now, and eventually it will all coalesce.<\/p>\n

Congrats, Chevy! – Your focus and hard work is paying off!!<\/p>\n

\tGoddess offered some great advice about having your spouse do the betting and pressing while you focus on your toss.<\/p>\n

\tMakes for a fun "couples activity" as well!<\/p>\n

\tThanks for the report and keep up your great posts, Chevy. They are always an interesting read…<\/p>\n

Congrats on POM and being part of the "Under The Radar Team".<\/p>\n

\tNice seeing a 30, now for us to get to the next level of 40 and above.<\/p>\n

\tThe journey continues.<\/p>\n

\tHope to meet you one day!<\/p>\n
