The Commando is making some bonehead moves. I kept leaving the room
with my coat on then had to march it back up. Finally buried it
down in my luggage. Packed my laptop down to Krispy Kreme yesterday
morning only to discover I forgot to charge it. I'm an idiot.
Had some more points to run on my 4 Queens "double your points up to
500" coupon. Sat down on the 10/7 prog and promptly hit a royal for
$1168. Not Taxable. No Tip. It racked up the credits and I kept
playing. Nice.
Playing some deuces in Horseshoe between poker sessions. Never have
a problem getting a seat. 4 machines. $1100 an hour wager. Nice
time killer but no hourly rate. $2.25 an hour comp rate. The
Binion card is user friendly now. Just go eat anywhere and hand
them your card. Good in the gift shop too.
The Plaza Diner is back open and I like the set-up. I was walking
by tuesday morning and, being on the steak and potatoes diet, I
liked what I saw. Went to get a comp. You order at the cashier
when you go in, a hostess seats you and in a few minutes you are
chowing down. Very convenient. Everything on the breakfast menu is
$5.99 including the 12 oz. steak and eggs. They pile it on.
Everything is big including the potatoes and toast. The steak was
excellent, charbroiled with a hint of garlic. Gonna have to play
that deuce more often.
I've been mixing it up on VP. Horseshoe deuces, Plaza deuces,
Jackie's Jokers, 4 Queens 10/7 prog and DDB prog when I find a
number' Can't get a play on the GN deuce prog. So far the video
poker score is:
Commando +1027
Downtown -1027
The 4/8 holdem at Binions is a dream game most of the time. Loose
passive. A regular turnover of players in for the Binion daily
tournaments. They are good for a meal comp everyday too. So I'm
double dipping them there.
Just got word of a good play somewhere in the country. Might have
to make a move on it. I'll get through the weekend then think about
it some more. If I go for it, I might have to go into radio silence
for awhile.
Gotta go. Moving day. Good Luck.
P.S. Harry, dumpster diving is for the unimaginative. When in such
dire straights the proper technique is to walk into the supermarket,
grab a cart, push it around filling it up with groceries while
wolfing down a couple deli sandwiches and quart of milk. When you
are done push the cart off and hit the door. Dont't forget the
toothpick on your way out.
