I am happy to report that tonight a few hours ago I hit a triple 6 at the new TI. I had $250 up when I hit it, and I left 600 up. Fellow club members - some important new observations and a call for an immediate meeting date to be scheduled in OCT.
On the observation front - I jumped onto a table - mid roll - did not even have a line bet. I went up on the 6 and 8 - and was putting my toe in the water. The shooter hit a hard 6 and I was not on it. I thought to myself - now may be a good time to execute the Wasserman triple. I jumped up with 5 and the shooter started raining triple 6's. It's been a while guys and without any other members to encourage me, I have to say I pulled up a little short on the second bet. I went from 5 to 50 ok, but when the 500 hit - I took 250 down and left 250 up on the hard way. Over comes the pit boss - they could tell I was ready. I asked the shooter – I called it in - and would you believe - he bull-frogged a hard 6. A pair of threes. The crowd went wild.
Well actually there was not much of a crowd, I went wild. There was a couple of German tourist on my left who had no idea what had just happened asking me to explain that bet to them, in a pushy German way, and a mullet head guy in the corner - who was on the hard 6 the first time it hit - remember I jumped up after it hit once. His comment - wow man... I wish I had pressed my bet.
Fellow members - I have been hanging out in Montana. I have been away from the tables - and except for my last meeting with Curtis a couple of months ago - I have been away from the tables. I came back early this week - because I had to attend a mandatory court ordered settlement conference on Friday for my appointment at the carnival. The airlines did not have any flights and I drove 14.5 hours yesterday to make my appearance.
I decided today to make an attempt at settling the case before we went into the judge tomorrow and I can't believe it, but I was able to get the case settled. I felt like that was a good sign a small win, my luck was on the rise and so - why not visit the new TI on my way to the Apple Store.
George had just told me that he would rather cut off his pinky before he would return to the TI. He says he has swarn the place off. George I have to ask you to reconsider.
Hitting a triple at a place should be like when you win a PGA tournament. You always get a chance without qualifying.
If the triple is not enough Mark and I have a story - its a little old now, but we had a huge comeback run at the TI - and we almost hit the megabucks jackpot that night.
Mark do you remember ? Of course you do. Well guys when can we schedule the next meeting ???
