This was truly a long day of grinding. I played Blackjack, I played poker, and I played slots. I went from place to place and picked up every penny I could possibly find. I left it all on the field. Definitely a day that I needed. I needed to remind myself that you keep grinding no matter what.
Today was a longer day. Lots of driving and a long session in the casino. Then driving home. Later, leaving with the wife to go gamble.
This is a Monday episode. This episode starts at midnight many many hours away from home. Somehow I make it home in one piece. I get a few hours of sleep and then head back out to make more money. It's a Monday but I'm off from work. This episode is a mix of family time and play. I play until midnight trying to get points.
This episode takes place on Saturday and Sunday. There's a lot of stuff going on here. From going to dinner with the family at the casino, to driving half a dozen hours to play blackjack.
We try team slot pulls 4 times and every one is a disaster. Wonging in. Being followed. Multiple entries on me today. Confronting to manager. Big swing blackjack.
As the year is coming to a close I'm experiencing big swings. Unfortunately today swing is very bad. I lose a tremendous amount of money. I cancel one of my Casino visits. I meet with another AP. I travel to one casino with my wife.
In this episode I end up playing five sessions of blackjack. I am aggressively looking for tables and even Wonging in. I have some good results but I still can't shake the bad attitude.
Meeting a friend. Two sessions today. Just trying to get by. Big day tomorrow.
Today was a work day. I went to the casino for my first session. I'm at the front there. I took some unnecessary risks as well as having some awful variance. I didn't make a little bit of a comeback but still ended up being a bad day.
Waking up after a very long night of play. 3 hours of rest before heading out for the day. Airport travel. Huge snowstorm. The trip home.
Playing Hard Rock Tulsa,Cherokee Grove West,The Stables, Buffalo Run,Quapaw, High winds, Indigo Sky, Riverbend.
This episode supposed to be focused on my arrival in Oklahoma and some of my play there. But the fact is that I had multiple flight delays which caused me to have to stay overnight in chicago. Not wanting to waste time and not wanting to waste money on a hotel room, I opted to rent a car. I then drove that car to Milwaukee Wisconsin to gamble. Afterward, I travel back to Chicago and hit a couple casinos before finally flying to Oklahoma. This episode is an example of making something out of a bad situation and triumphing. This episodes includes results from three casinos in the Chicago and Milwaukee area as well as a large number of casinos in Oklahoma. Overall about 46 hours of travel and gambling without sleep.
My never ending trip. Traveling to Oklahoma, no Illinois, no Wisconsin? Travel delays, nowhere to sleep, no free rooms.
Getting ready for Oklahoma. Gambling with the wife.
Coaches Corner Episode 8. Relationships and gambling.
What an incredibly bad start to the day. Followed by an even worse continuation to the day. But there was a surprise waiting at the end.
This was definitely a long day. After going to church and having lunch with the family, we drove to a nearby town to have Christmas pictures taken by photographer. It was after 4:00 p.m. that I was finally able to leave home for a journey of over 500 miles. And I still had to be at work by 8:00 a.m.
In this episode I talk to a Pit Boss about what's been going on and ask for some honest information. I also talk about the crazy stuff that's been happening with Penn gaming and some sports betting companies. I don't make a lot of money in this episode but I learn a lot.
Here is another crazy day. Went to the casino to play some Blackjack and slots. After my first slot session I looked for a blackjack table to play. As soon as I settled in I saw a Pit Boss running over to put me in the system. I grabbed my chips and walked away from the table. No harm done. I played another session of slots and was ready to leave. On my way out I discovered that I still had chips in my pocket so I went back into cash them. At this point I was ready to leave when I ran into a friend of mine. He had a play that no one wanted to split with him. So we split the play and made a nice hit before going home. On my travel to and from the casino I made over $1,000 playing online.
This is my Wednesday episode. Left home early on a dark and cold morning. Traveled a very long way and only got one session of blackjack in. Also played a few sessions of slots and met with some friends. Discussed what the path forward is going to be.
