Last time I had the nerve to go to Vegus it cost me $450, damned near
broke my heart too.


$2500 for me, but...free hotel room and dinners!

I usually win at the 10/20 poker table. I wear a tee-shirt that says
California on it. Also, I only drink orange juice, but it looks like a
screwdriver. I don't have the stomach for higher stakes.


What's the point of the California t-shirt? Is it lucky?

I think it means to some a level of naivety, but I'd rather be lucky. Also,
it really helps to be a woman at the table. They just can't believe I know
anything about odds or have the ability to bluff.

Good for you. Never spent time playing poker other than with friends
and a bunch of beer. Uncomfortable to go head to head with strangers.

I'm way more comfortable at the blackjack table with them dealing out
of shoe. If you're playing with folks who know when to bet, you can
get the dealer on a roll and parlay several bets into a decent sum.

I've spent too much time there. Between having customers there and
attending trade shows too frequently, gaming has lost its attraction.
I'm more interested in the food these days...

I never play blackjack. Even though it's technically possible to win
consistantly, I don't like to rely solely on the odds.

You can't be human and rely solely on the odds.
