Session 17,18.19

Session 17

It has been several weeks since I have posted anything.  Session 17 continuted me on my slump.  Not much I could do here at all, I lost 140, could not win a hand, was very patient, but no good cards where holding up.

Session 18

This weekend the casino was giving away 30K for their 10 year anniversary.  They where giving away $500 high hands every hour until the money was gone.  It started on Saturday and I knew there would be alot of people there so I made sure I was at the main table.  I got up early on Sat mostly becuase I have been getting up early for work, and after a few hours of being awake at home I decided to just go down there and see if anyone else where there yet.  I had no idea what to expect.  I got there at about 7:30am and they dont open until 10am.  So I was the first one there.  I ate some breakfast in my car and then decided to go to Home Depot and walk around a bit it was 8am and no-one was there.  I got back at about 8:30 still no-one.  The first person arrived at about 8:45, I was sitting outside reading.  By 9:00 there was about 6 or 7 people there.  It started going real quick then.  9:15 there was about 30.  At 9:30 they came out and handed out seat cards to the people waiting in line.  I was one of the first 10 there so I got a random seat at the main table.  They could seat 45, after they passed out all the cards there was still about 30 people in line!  I played for 13.5 hours my focus was getting a high hand, and that really hurt my outcome.  I was up and down alot during that time, and ended up leaving up $10.  Not too happy about that, but had a fun day playing there during all that craziness.  It took about 5 hours before the first person on the waiting list got a seat.  When I left after about 13 hours there was still about 20 names on the list.  I really should have left a few hours earlier but really wanted to get a high hand, to the point where I was losing alot of money trying to chase a high hand.  But since I did not lose any money cant be too disappionted, would have been much worse if I would have lost it all.

Session 19

I headed out Monday after work and they where still giving away the high hands, I think I figured they had 60 hours worth of high hands to give away.  I got there around 2 pm and then left at 5:30.  I did not sit down though until 3pm.  Was a good session hit some good hands, nothing to spectacular.  I had an open ended straight flush draw, almost got me a high hand and I had three K's, just one more would have got me a high hand, but I was not focused on them so much, I was focused on taking away a win.  I ended up 170.  I am hoping this is marks the end of my slump and can start making some upward momentum on my next few sessions.
