Small Nautica win

Up $84 last night after getting $500 deep. Matt G was at my table. The dealers we had were absolutely AWFUL. I don't know what the charity was, but none of the dealers at our table had ever dealt before, and had no clue how the game is played. There was no flow or rhythm at all, and all my hands were garbage for quite a while. 56o started looking like aces, and I got myself into a jam.

...but I never gave up. I refused to book a loss (both good and bad) and scratched my way back into it after changing seats. I grabbed a spot directly across from the dealer and played table captain since no one else seemed to want to. It got the hands moving along, and we even got a halfway decent dealer for the last hour and a half I was there. I played from 4:30-9.

Matt and I were remarking how we can't wait for the casino to open. I'll never play with volunteer dealers again. I don't see charity games doing too well after that.

A friend of mine has a non-profit animal rescue operation where they rescue over 100 dogs a year, and I'm thinking about trying to get a tourney together to help raise some money for them. Caprice is a member of Amvets so we could use their place to play. Details to follow.
