New Career

Played golf with Eric today at a beautiful course out here in Vegas call the Painted Desert. All the courses here are about 1/3 their normal price if you tee off in the afternoon because they have such a hard time getting people to play midday with how hot it gets here. It was about 95 when we started the round and got up to about 105 and stayed there for most of it. It's a really dry heat here compared to the high humidity we get in Wisconsin. I shot a 96 which is pretty high for me but considering we finished off 10 beers each during the round I'd say that's not bad.

We each went back and took a 3 hour nap after our round and decided to meet up at the Bellagio at 8pm for their $1k tournament. I ended up busting about 2 hours in and Eric busted about 10 minutes after I did. We've each played a ton of poker the past few days, him live, and me online, so we figured we play some table games and get free drinks. We were looking for a good craps table and decided to head over to the Palms casino since they would probably have some lower stakes than the Bellagio. When we got there though the only craps that was running was a $15 minimum and the table was full. So we settled for some $10 minimum blackjack. We each bought in for $200 and I ran mine up to $600 while Eric blew through his.

The casino then opened up another craps table at a $10 minimum, which is exactly what we were looking for, so we left the blackjack tables and started to roll the dice. We probably rolled craps for over five hours and when four in the morning hit we were each up about $4.5k. There were five ridiculous rolls throughout the night, two each by Eric and I, and we each pushed our bets during all of them. So after having such a great run I've decided that craps is much easier to beat then poker and I'm switching careers. I figure my arm may get a little sore but that's a small price to pay in my opinion. I figure at this rate the Maloofs will have to sell me the Kings by the end of June to cover all the craps winnings I'll take off of them.
