I approached the craps area, and one table was on fire. I noticed at least one fellow that had a full rack of greens and blacks, and a bunch of other folks filling up the table. You guys all know we have had a number of discussions about whether you should approach a hot table and jump in – or if that is the key to end a good role, but cooling things down. Well lucky for me that table was so hot, I could not get in. I noticed one lone guy paying over at the crapless table, and I made my way over there to see what the action looked like.
That guy was playing big money, as I reported earlier he had about 3~4k in action. He later told me that he had bought in for 10k and was down about 8k when I joined him. Normally I don’t consider $120 enough to really get things going on the crapless table. You guys know the requirements for getting decent action on all those numbers.
I decided to jump right in, and ordered a hard 8 for $5 and got change for $120. Bang Seven out right out of the blocks. The big shooter was pissed that I jumped in and he was insinuating that my hard way cooled off the table and cost him more money. I felt bad and was up next as the shooter. I figured, like always the best way to get this guy back on track was to have a big roll, and that was the beginning of it.
Now I cant take you through shot after shot, but the summary of it was – I had a double parley hard way – which stared with $10, so I won a few bucks on that. The big money player cleaned up on that roll – I hit ever extreme number so many times I lost count. I told you earlier about the 12 in which he hit for the table max of $12k One interesting note, not once during the entire roll did I hit a Seven – until the final seven out.
I ended up $1,800 and the big player was up 42k after he was down 8k. He made a point of telling me that it was his biggest single roll, and he was very pleased I jumped in to join him. This was a quiet victory, because it was just this other fellow and I paying on the crapless table. I did some hooting and hollering myself, but the big shooter did not get to excited. He did high five me when I hit the 12 for him, but that was the extent of is.
