Monte Carlo Week

This week has been my week for Montes at the Moose. On Sunday I flopped quad 3's for a $60 win, and yesterday quad 10's for $138. Other than that, uneventful with a loss Monday keeping me in the minus column. I was smart enough to quit while ahead $150 last night.

With the economy as bad as it is, it amazes me how busy the casino is. On Monday I was going there for lunch, but left because I couldn't find a parking place!!! My theory is that when things are bad, some people think that the only way out is to try for "the big win" rather than cutting back, saving as much as possible, working harder, etc. It is really insane to think that you can beat the casino. Poker is possible, but only because you are mainly against other players, but even then the rake takes so much that it is difficult to win without playing very tight. On the other hand, in a loose game you can't play too tight or you will never win. I am very close to calling this a no/win situation.

The weather here in the Tri-Cities has been strange. Heavy snowfall followed by Chinook winds to melt everything. The wind was brutal yesterday, big gusts. Some of the highways were closed to trucks.
