Subject: Re: THURSDAY THE 16th by TommyT-Bone on 2023/11/16 16:21:12 I have some good news and some bad news. Bad news first. The wind and the rain yesterday had Sue close early around noon. Today the yard is flooded but not as bad as it could be. We probably got around 7". My yard floods badly at 9" of rain. So at least it's not in the garage. That's a good thing. Lots of crap has to be picked up around the yard from 40 mph winds. Sue thought we should maybe go hang at the casino for a few hours yesterday afternoon/evening. Why not? S#!++y day anyway. I had $40 in free play. I watched Sue play for a bit then walked over to an empty bank of machines. Played my $40 between two machines and turned it into $500.  Sue went over to the card tables. She played 3 card poker for a bit then changed over to Ultimate Hold'em after the dealer that was giving her some good cards on 3 Card poker moved over there. After several hands she called me with some urgency and screamed "Get over here". Upon my arrival I see everybody just standing around. The dealer, the supervisor and the pit boss. The dealer dealt Sue two diamonds. Next came the flop. 3 more diamonds. Not only was it 3 more diamonds but it was a straight too making it a straight flush. Sue routinely plays $5 for the progressive jackpot and that is constantly climbing till it's hit. She tell me she just hit for 77. I say " What, $7700. No she says. $77,000. WOW! Took about 1/2 hour to verify and pay. After taxes she netted over 60k with the jackpot and the board pay. We played for a couple more hours and went home with a 50k check and 10k cash. So what was the good news? I came out $400 ahead by the end of the evening.  ...  I told my good friend Eddie about it. His comment. "Great! That will pay for her teeth." |
