Sometimes time can be your friend

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

I am on the death by a thousand cuts plan. I may have myself another RF in a hundred trips. Maybe I already caught my lightning in a bottle quota for the year.

I realize a lot of people are not going to play like this because they don’t have the time or take the time for these marathon sessions.
I may have played marathon type sessions years ago, but now, after two to two and a half hours, I'm ready for a break.

A typical day when we're on a casino trip starts with breakfast in our room (we take stuff with us), followed by a two or three hour morning playing session.

After a lunch break, there's usually an afternoon session similar to the morning one. Then, it's off to happy hour and dinner.

Sometimes, there's a shorter after dinner playing session, but, usually, there isn't. Six or seven hours, then, is usually a maximum playing day for me.

I predict a positive outcome. Let’s face it, the only mystery is the amount. Too much bank to tank.

Sorry to hear, inasmuch as misery loves company. We must avenge and recoup our massive weekly losses ASAP. I’m totally avoiding play for the first 90 minutes of future trips. After I grab my CW’s double espresso, I will damn sure keep on walking through the convenient corridor into the mall built above the Atlantic Ocean. Every damn machine was deader than the Sea Scrolls last week. I'm going to tread much more cautiously. Fools rush in. It really does discernably pick up later for whatever reason, so that will be my new time line.

To their own funerals. Casino trips are all about pacing. You want a long day, but a strong day. Don't worry about getting a machine. Worry about a triple digit win and a peaceful departure and grateful escape.
