Been stuck lately at TCH with just being card dead for a month long number of sessions. One or two positive outings throughout the last couple of weeks but it has been a grind to get those. Wife had girlfriends over for a lunch/ pool date yesterday so I Finally took my own advice and decided to head back down to SA Card House (I hadn’t played there in almost a year) just to change things up. Grind continued and down like 400 within an hr due to some bad turns & rivers. Then slowly caught a few hands to get back to $300-350 and hovered there for a while… They have a number of promotions, and all days other than the high hand or Monte Carlo hrs they have a hot seat drawing at the top of odd hours. Roulette spin to pick the table and then a face up PLO hand to pick the player for the drawing. Our table won the 5o’clock roulette spin. For the PLO hand My cards started out bad with a 2, 6 unsuited and then 9sQs…flop had a straight draw but also 2 spades. 7s on the turn gave two players a straight but I had the only 2 card spade flush draw which held up. Payouts from the envelopes in the spinning raffle drum run from $50 (20 tickets) roughly doubling in value up to $5000 (2tickets left of the 5k after open hit on Saturday) Other than the 5k winner, every recent winner on the board had winning tickets of $50, so odds were not too great for a big payout. As I was walking over to the drum I was hoping to maybe pick one for 200 or 250 to just get back to even and go home. Spin the drum, reach in and grab an envelope. They were key size, so I initially had 3 in my hand and let two slide out, keeping the middle. Being just a tiny slip of paper, I thought the envelope was empty at first but when unfolding it I first saw the top of the 2 and a 5 and thought cool, there’s my $250, back to even, let’s go home! But then I saw the comma between the 25 plus two zeros after…$2500! Not too sure the regulars were happy with a new guy getting that payout, but a big smile from me to say the least. Got the cash, pic, and back to the table for about another hr, won a handful of pots to get back to my original buy in of 500 plus a couple hundred more. Not a super great table session but out the door for just over $2700 for 5 hrs on a Sunday. Mrs BGH thinks she gets half, but she never covers half of my losses. [emoji41]
