Re: Any crazy casino gambling stories? (non poker)
A little over a year ago at the Taj's USPC I had just busted out of the $500 NL event and was at the bottom of my bankroll. (still had money, but my bankroll is kept seperate) So in a state of shock over getting 2 outed close to the bubble of a good size tourney, and ready to quit poker I wonder out into the pits. I sit at a .25 video poker machine and drop what is close to my last $20 in. I play three hands and hit a royal for $1000. I decide I need to even out the money in there so I'm not cashing out $1016 (OCD). I attempt to play it off to $1000 even and hit a flush, then a straight, then a boat, and then quads twice in a row! SO now with close to $2,000 at hand I go back to the poker room. I win a single table sattelite for the $1000 tourney and chop another one for another $500. I play a 15/30 LHE session and pick up another $900. Now I'm dizzy and exausted from the rush. I run into a friend who wants to have a drink and chill out so we sit down at 3 card poker and order some beers. In an hour there I go straight, straight, flush, he then hits 3 of a kind and on the next hand I get a straight flush. Off we go for sushi and saki.
All told after being ready to throw in the towel with a $20 bankroll I'm walking home with $4000 cash and $1500 in tournament entries.
