Sitting in a sports bar just before noon in a nearby southwestern city awaiting the start of the Islanders game. Yes, it is late April and they are still playing - a relatively rare occurrence in recent decades for this franchise. Hopefully they can pull this one out and tie up the series against a young, hard-working Carolina team.
Played last nite for a bit at one of the nearby Vegas style casinos - one of those spots where I seem to consistently win, and never seem to garner too much heat. A function of quick hits and playing the later shifts, most likely. Was in for 1500 last nite before pulling out a 650 win after a couple of hours. Added to my 750 win the nite before at a spot about 2 hours north, well... not a bad result for four hours of work.
Spent last weekend in a northern city where they have the best JoB video poker game in the country. Normally I expect to give this spot some expected value on this game in exchange for the resulting comps - but this was an odd weekend where I literally killed it playing video poker (5 single line royal flushes in 4 days on a 50-play machine), but got crushed in blackjack. The last couple of days are a good start towards recovering from that debacle...
