Jackpot

Had myself a much needed vacation this weekend. Went off to Jackpot, NV with the family. Played a couple slots to get warmed up (never been in a casino since turning 21) and then watched some blackjack while the family was at a show (thank god I didn't have to go). After about 15 minutes, I decided to push for a seat. Sat down w/ $40 and after about 2 hours had to get up and walk off... with $17. Shit. So I came back to the table (it was a $3 table, FYI) a little later and played a few more hands (well, about 3 or 4 hours of hands anyway) with a couple of the family. Had $30 at the start of that one... left with $75. Fuck yeah. Made $5 on a night of 21. I really, really wanted to get in on the hold 'em tables, but I was a bit scared and wanted to watch a couple rounds to see how to get in on a table. I think next time I go, I'll pay the $20 buy in on the $3x$6 table.

Overall, it was a really good weekend. I missed Yuki and from the look of things, she missed me too. Phoebe took care of her for me, and I tried real hard to bring her back something nice in payment. The problem is that the gift shop in Jackpot sucks. So I took advantage of the no sin tax in Nevada and picked up 3 giant bottles of liquor for everybody. Can't go wrong with some good old fashioned booze.
