This last Saturday I left Wichita at 1230 in the morning for a casino in Oklahoma. This was my first time at a casino so I was advised not to take much money. Before we left I went to the ATM, withdrew 40 bucks, and headed south with a few buddies. They were all regulars at this particular casino and rolled in with 100 bucks each. I felt cheap, but realized this was all I could afford to lose. I started the night playing 3 card poker, I learned it on the spot, but there really isn't much too it. The dealer deals you three cards and you bet against the dealer, there is no strategy besides knowing what a decent hand is and the payouts are printed on the felt anyways. I went down 20 bucks pretty fast as the minimum bet is 5 dollars and it cost 50 cents to play. Took the remaining 15 bucks to the slots, hit 56 dollars and cashed out. Everyone else had lost all 100 and here I was, the casino virgin, making all the money. I took 16 of it and lost it at 3 card poker. I think the trick to winning at 3 card is to have enough money to actually play more than 3 hands. Regardless, I left the casino at 4 am with 40 bucks, the same amount I started the night with. I did not look at the night a waste but as an experience of a lifetime.
Hope your weekend was as fun as mine.
