\nHey, I’m in NJ, it’s Monday, work is slow, why not?!<\/p>\n
\tI ran to my hotel, changed, threw a few warm ups, felt good. I headed out on I-80 to PA, drizzling as I got out of the car but not wet when I get in. I wanted to finally get a match play coupon from this place as timing has never been right, so I went to the machines close by, not the right ones. Went to the desk, they said only 2 match play machines on the far side of the house, fine; walk over there, right past the table with SL2 open…. nervous…. get to the machine, swipe, PRINTER ERROR….argh…. other machine, WINDOWS ERRORS….. ARGH. Fine, go to the table.<\/p>\n
\tI stepped into SL2, but a hand was in play so I waited and caught my breath. another ‘gent’ walked up to buy in, I told him he could have SL1 as I was going to buy in from where I was. Of course, in the middle of the point cycle, he bought in for $107 (my thoughts exactly!). After the SO, I bought in, made sure I had a bet out so I could play and hit some 6\/8s. This guy rolled a quick hand and I tried to settle into my spot better and nudged his elbow, said sorry. He picked up his "tray load" of chips and went straight out and made a comment about me needing a lot of room. I said not really, he got ticked and said WHAT, I said not really, no worries, we’re good (not how I would normally react but his buy in had prepped me). <\/p>\n
\tI had hands of 5 for a small loss, a 12 with 1 point and 5 other hits brought me up but still short, then a 5 with 2 hits, still down, but Mr. 107 left the table. The gent at SR 2 had been shooting well and with a decent somewhat controlled throw, so I threw a $6 6\/8, got a couple of hits, then got the dice, stepped on the mound, and wound up for a very nice 29, 2 pt (one of which I forgot odds – REMEMBER YOUR ODDS- gave crap to the base for missing that), 12 hit hand that brought me to over double my buy in. I figured I’d stay for another hand and see, walk if bad. Followed with a 13, 8 hit hand. I’d been hitting 4\/10 decently, so I put a small spread out, had only a 5 hand with 3 straight hits on the four for a $10 place, then on a $20 buy, then on a $35 buy, covering my spread plus a few bucks, colored up and went to the cashier.<\/p>\n
\tBut we’re not done yet, I still had that blasted $5 Match Play coupon waiting! I stopped by the players desk, noted what had happened, so they called IT to meet me at the machine. I about walked (my wife is pissed I didn’t, but she’s not here!), but met the IT guy at the machine…. the printer was offline, but he did print a test, but mine wasn’t there. Argh. He said let’s go to the Casino Host, I said no, I’m done, then turned back and said what the heck, let’s go. No luck, casino host can only re-issue what they put in, not mailings. Argh, I’m done. But on the way out, the folks asked what happened, I said no luck, they called me over and phoned around. After another 5 minutes, the IT guy walks up with my coupon which had printed after he’d rebooted the machine. <\/p>\n
\tThought through head "Self, you should walk", but my outside voice said "So this is how you’re going to get your money back!"
\n\tBack to the table, point of 8 set just as I walked up. I set the coupon and a $5 bill on Come, nope, doesn’t work, no bet, throw is craps. OK, can I do a put on the line? Sure, (with how I’d been tipping, absolutely) and for a lousy $5, who cares? So I get a put on the line for the coupon and $5, next throw, WINNER 8!!!, "Thanks folks!", I took my very hard earned $15 and finally left, absolutely happy with the night!<\/p>\n
