Playing max spots, 1k/hand, doubling down when it made no sense to, splitting tens against a 7 to piss off the you gotta play the book guy who is min betting and having it work. The common I'm drunk out of my mind scenario and nothing could go wrong.
At 6am they shut the table down. Woke up like 4pm next day, we got comped $500 steaks each where they cut it in front of you while you sit down and then proceeded to lose the 87k just as fast as we won it.
Fun ride tho. I can understand how people lose all their money in the pits. Been chasing that high ever since but I'm smart enough to avoid the pits. Even tho the money wasn't life changing even at the time, the rush was pretty crazy.
Damn thats a cool story! I can't imagine winning 87k and then punting it back in a short time span.
My only score gambling in say pits/slots has been hitting a 1k score on a video poker machine at the borgata earlier this year. It was kind of annoying bc I wanna say it was a .25 machine and I played the max. Its kinda crazy that a royal only pays 1k but still was really cool to hit. I wish I played in the pit more sometimes to get comps etc but losing money to try and get comps is pointless in my opinion. I really wonder how people get comped rooms/ dinners etc. I feel you really have to spazz to get comps like that or put in a to of play. I will play craps (don't pass) and lay multiple dc bets but never stay long (never longer than 1 hr) as I can either make a lot of lose roll quickly.
BTW, with video slots story, I proceeded to play 1-2 nlhe cash and punted prolly 600-900 by running big hands into bigger hands in say 2 hours (which imo is a really quick amount of time to lose) against this really obnoxious rec player. Wanna say I limped AA from EP and 3bet this player big and he flats something like kq or jq and somehow smashes a flop I get it in on due to lower sprs.
