yup so my friends and I decided that it would be a good idea to go to the casino this weekend, since a couple of us (including me) just turned 21 recently, so we went down to Mohegan Sun's (in CT) saturday night... I ended up winning friggin $400 playing war!!! That's right, regular old war that you play at home (highest card wins)... I figured it'd be the easiest game and best odds, so I just sat down and it was like I couldnt lose. I was there for about 45 minutes just stacking up the chips-- it was AMAZING.. I even pulled out once I hit $400 even though I probably could have won more.. Man I couldnt sleep that night, just thinking about all of the PARTS I can buy for my car hahaha... Lookin at KA-T exhaust manis right now wooooo!!

Ya.. the texas two card or something like that..

Some of those p0ker players were real badasses though.. like that devilfish character. He even looked like he's something special. Not to mention he eliminated the opponents, one by one. That was magical.. :)

OMG! my hommie is addicted to that game, and since it's connected to your bank account it's easy to play too much.

Congrats man! Just don't get too ****y the next time you go.

I won over four grand just playing War and Pai Gow p0ker at Mohegan but it was nothing but a lucky streak. I lost nearly a grand two weeks ago playing the same game and sticking to the same strategy. :oface The longer you hang around, the better odds the house gets. If you get on a good streak and rack up half a grand or so, just high-tail outta there.

man me and my crew are in the casino like once a week, and its a hour and some drive lol

. we are freakin addicts, we only play blackjack and we have practiced for years. ive gone upwards 30times in the last year . ive only lost 5times, i normally buy in 300$ and leave with 5-1500$ a trip. my boss went with us and in two separate trips a week apart turned 400$ into 18Gs only in a casino or bank robbery can you make money that fast .

only this past week i had a fault in judgement and brougth 1600$ in with me, needless to say four hours later i left with empty pockets and a crooked sadistic grin on my face, i had a ton of fun but it still makes me sick that i lost that much in that lil time, oh then i went back two days later to give them another 300$ just for giggles. damn pit bosses and dealers know us by names now. lol

i just love the casino enviroment and people . i was sitting with some high rollers playing with their money and them playing with mine they other night , me and this guy proceded to blow upwards 20gs of his money, i didnt even catch his name but we all acted like long time friends just a good vibe all around .
