Blackjack. And some slots, but basically $20-40 bucks on smoke breaks when I play poker. But I'll play an hour or two of blackjack also.

I play BJ for two reasons:
1) it gets me points. You can get a good 10 points an hour if the floor rates you well at $20/hand
2) I use it to 'get the action' out of me. It lets me be more patient at the poker tables to make more poker money. I'm sure that I've lost money at BJ, although probably not a whole lot, but I feel I've made up for it by not feeling the urge to play as many marginal hands.
I just started playing BJ a couple of months ago, and I've found that my poker game has improved considerably by being more patient. If I find that I have the action urge, I'll take a break from the poker table and head back to BJ.
Sure, it's not optimal, and I'd be better just being able to keep my discipline at poker, but so far this is working for me.
