\nWas having some problem with the dice frequently going to the left as they hit the table. Rose was not available to see what I was doing wrong. Had to take care of this one myself. I knew it had something to do with my release as the dice were not level and hitting on the corner sending them sideways. Old Doc decided to get out the 24 by 36 inch mirror, place the mirror against the back wall and watch my throw. In just 2 throws I noticed that as I held my release my 1st finger was coming up short at release. Not a problem with the grip as I checked it out real carefully before throwing. I simply wasn’t keeping my fingers together at release. <\/p>\n
\tHere is where DP’s idea came into play. I took two small pieces of flat toothpicks–a very small piece of thin card board will do–and placed them between my fingers. Made myself hold them in place through out the throw and the dice landed perfectly. Did this 10 times to get the feel and them started to throw without the toothpicks. Dice looking good now. Then I got out the chips and begin "keeping score" and counting the throws. The first was a nice profitable 16 and then followed with a good money maker of 34. This GTC stuff works, but like the pros on the PGA tour they have to practice and get advice from instructors–and self critique on the course. We are no different.<\/p>\n
\tSelf critique is most important for each of us as is getting help from other GTC players and of course taking the lessons offered during a GTC weekend. Just want to share with others on this site. Hope it will help.<\/p>\n

\n\tsplay open after the dice release. It sure works in forcing your brain to think about keeping those sticks in place.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt did take some time but I did get a lot of information that way .I now try to keep up with at least the craps posts .
\n\tI also look at how many view the posts which are more then post in them .
\n\tThere are a lot of lurkers out there . I wish more would post .
\n\tDP was one instructor that noticed when I was taking class that I had one finger nail that was way to long and was not letting me get right grip .It was on second day of class .
\n\tSome times it is just a little thing that is missed by many . That is why the class is so good . You have lots of eyes looking for those little things .
\n\tHope you have great rolls on your trip I will be in Vegas on the 13 and 14 .
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
