Gambling... Again

So I posted yesterday that gambling is kind of like watching paint dry, or something equally negative, but I had a different experience tonight. Turns out I should just stick with blackjack. Craps is too fast for me to play well. I need the time it takes the dealer to lay out everyone's cards one at a time to process my play. I also need to be seated fourth or farther down the table so I don't have to decide first. With those caveats, blackjack is a fine game. I played a bit tonight and after I had 2.27 times my original stake in front of me, I cashed in and walked away. It was a far cry from my walk of shame back to the room last night. Tomorrow is the spouse's big gambling day as he has the Hold 'Em finals tournament at 9:00 pm. Prize? Free cabin on a cruise next December for the cruiseline-wide finals and a chance to win $100,000. Now my eyes are drooping and it's time to submit to my coldmeds and sleep.
