Okay, so I was on my own today and at a loss as to what to do. I volunteered for a few hours this morning, did some shopping, dropped off some stuff at the Salvation Army, went to the cemetery and then, of all things, decided to go to the casino. I haven't been to a casino in KC for two years, except to eat at the buffets--the "all you can eat crablegs". But, for some reason today, I had the urge.
I went to the AmeriStar. I put $100, my driver's license and my cell phone in my pockets and went in. Boy did it feel weird--just me, alone, with nothing in my hands, walking into a casino. So, I go right to the 25 cent poker machines. I put in $20. I played for about 20 minutes, got down to $12 and got dealt 4 Aces for a payout of $100. Did I get up and leave with the $192.00? Nope. It was too early--I had just gotten there. I would have felt really stupid walking out after just 20 minutes--it took me longer than that to drive over there. So, I decide to cash out the $112, stick it in my pocket and continue to play with the $80 in my other pocket. Dumb, dumb, dumb. No, I didn't lose all my money, but I did put in another $60.
Yeah, I was still a winner--a dumb winner. You really do have to know when to "fold 'em"--even if it has only been 20 minutes. ; )
