Hey pallies. So, on occasion, I, most often we, enjoy playing at the local casino. I don't go often or play high stakes, but when doing so it is fun. I remember a Skype conversation with Joe, owner of this site, about some fun he had gambling in Vegas. And this past weekend, my father talked about how he's played Baccarat down in Buenos Aires whilst visiting familia down that way.
My game? Blackjack. When engaging my "machine mind", and by that I mean mathematic precision and memory skills, I can do very well at said table, and I leave ahead, and give small tip to the dealer. (To the point pit bosses have taken notice; gave me dirty looks, but didn't boot me out.) I've had mixed results with "grinding" at the Roulette table, though it is fun in its own way. Never had any interest in Slots; boring and the odds suck donkey rump.
My wife's game is Five Card Poker and she, generally, leaves ahead. Brother number two in our family is an avid Poker player, though I haven't played cards with him since childhood, and have no idea how he does, but he's sharp. As mentioned previously, my father's game was Baccarat, but he freely admitted he didn't do well at said back in the day.
How about you? Have a favorite and how does it work out?
