I went to the Soaring Eagle last night thinking it wouldn't be too busy. Wrong. It's buy one get one free on their buffet and there is also a Poker tournament in progress. There are a lot of people there, but they are all in line for the buffet, because I found a seat at a Blackjack table with only 1 other player. I buy in for $60 and I lose my first hand and my table mate leaves. I hate playing heads up with the dealer and I lose my next three hands. I leave and go sit down at a Mississippi Stud table. Big mistake. I lose $70 almost instantly. I decide to play some quarter VP and I am down to my last $6.00, so I move to nickel VP. I am playing Bonus poker and I hit 4 aces which pays me $40. A few minutes later, I am dealt a pair of Aces and a pair of Fives. I hold the Aces and I draw the other two along with a kicker for a $100 win. I cash out at $140 which puts me ahead $40 for the night. It's still too early to go home, so I sit down at a Blackjack table and not once did I get ahead of my $40. I would be down to my last bet and I would win. This went on for two hours with me staying right around $20 -$30. I have never played this long without winning or losing. It was one of the strangest sessions of Blackjack I have ever played. I ended up being even for the night.
