The Ultimate Double Whammy.

[DougieG 0]

So I left my house at 10AM Friday morning going to classes til 4 then heading straight to the indian casino to get in a decent 1/2 nl session. I got to the casino at 5 and sat immediately. I didn't set a time limit on my session, figured I'd play til it wasn't a profitable situation for me any more, once the bigger stacks had left or I was a bigger stack. My previous longest session was 13 hours, not so hot but a decent amount for someone who's used to playing primarily online. Well I played from 5pm-6am, a 13 hour session. This wasn't intentional, as my flopped set got turned and rivered for a straight, ended up losing 100 on the session. 13 hours, down 100...doesn't get a whole lot worse. I get out to my car, start driving home and then....BAM! a flat tire. Not only did I lose 1 buy in in 13 hours, frustrating as that is, I managed to blow out a tire on my car at 7am heading home. The double whammy.

bad beat forum.seriously though - had the same thing happened to me, except my car was impounded while i was inside the casino. i managed to get it back without an extreme amount of trouble (though a couple hundred bucks for cab and impound fees). i drove maybe 5 minutes before giving up because the fog was so thick i couldn't see a few feet ahead of me. ended up waiting in a tim horton's until sunrise, which was about 7 hours.some days you're the squirrel, and some days you're the nut.

13 hours and only one buy in lost? I'd say you got lucky there. Also, if the $100 is too much too lose, then you're playing outside your bankroll there fella. I'd save up a few more pennies if I were you so you'd have at least two or three buy ins to compensate for runner runner stuff like that

where is an indian casino that is less then an hour away from mountain view?

No, I go to school at San Diego St. And I wasn't saying losing 100 was too much, I was referring to the counterintuitive way you feel playing live. I don't want to play 13 hours just to be that conservative. I would rather go and blow 300 in an hour because then I'd feel like I was in the action. A lot of players experience that feeling I think...and seriously...did you really think that losing 100 was the point of my story?

I usuaully don't post about other people but.. ricker either pay attention or don't postClearly the money wasn't the issue, yes losing lots of money would be worse, but playing for 13 hours and walking away losing sucks for a casino trip. A long grind for nothing. And the rest of the story wasn't too fun either.
