No Julie + loss of $2000
Yesterday after work, I was so eager to see Julie, I left the office on the dot at 5pm.
I pictured myself sitting down at her empty table, like Eva Green in Casino Royale when she first met Bond, I'd say "I'm the money" as I sat down. I'd ask her if she saw me on tv on Monday night because I got caught in the background, and that would start things off.
However, when I got there, she was nowhere to be seen. I sat down at a table with the Vietnamese MILF playing and wondered if Julie was just on a break. I asked the MILF if she was having any luck today, and she just shook her head. She changed tables shortly. Hmmm.
The dealer was a short, slightly stubby Australian woman. We got talking a little bit but for the most part she was talking to her supervisor. I lost the first bet and was never up.
Then there was a dealer change to a guy with long curly hair, who was very talkative, so we got talking, which was a bit of a distraction. I lost my first $800 and had to use my remaining $1200. I was floating around the $1200 mark when there was a dealer change to a guy named Benjamin.
He said he had been there about a month but I had never seen him because he did mostly night shifts. At one point he mentioned some dealers not being able to spin the ball because they thought about it too much, and I was about to refer to Julie without naming her, but thought the better of it. He also mentioned that in training they had a task where they had to sort out chips as quickly as possible, and that he got 50 seconds whereas now he can do it in 20 seconds. I wonder how Julie went.
I made a bit of money back with him, hanging around the $1800 mark, but then the long curly hair guy came back, spun up like five 0-3 sections in a row and that killed me. I lost $1800, then used the remaining $200 to play black/third column on another table and it landed on 25 and lost.
It's a funny time to lose, because throughout the day I had been expecting a win, given my recent wins, but cautioned myself not to get over confident. I also told myself that the test would come when I lost, not when I win. And so, now that I had lost, the test was here. Did I feel the urge to chase? Only a tiny bit.
I wanted to see Julie more.
