Day 530

Got up early, checked out and took my things to the car.  I came back down to the casino to do my last shot at VP at the Aquarius.  I first tried the single line with no good results and my final $100 in the triple plays.  It just didn't go my way.  I an not deterred from these because this trip was a loser.  I will continue to play on them.  Let's face it: They give me my best chance at a royal (I had two last trip) and if there's anything I am more convinced of than ever is that a Royal is the only way a trip will end with a profit.  If I go into that with it in the back of my mind, I should be able to weather these downswings. 

Make no mistake.  I lost $1000 this trip.  I cannot sustain that for too many times. 

The 8/5 progressives were much kinder to me and yes, I lost overall on them, I certainly maintained a much long session on them.  I did manage a sweet straight flush progressive for $130 on this final day.  I did book the Golden Gate for one night so I wouldn't have to drive home Sunday with all that traffic.   This turned out to be a great idea that I intend to do every time in the future. 

The drive home Monday morning had two hitches: the Cajon Pass was backed up for a couple miles for apparently NO reason whatsoever and finally loosened up.  Then there was a crash on the 15 around Mira Mesa drive here in San Diego.  That pretty much it. 

Aside from the losing.  I had a wonderful time.  The free meals at the Aquarius buffet are great.  We ate at Pizza Rock three of the nights (a slice is just fine for a simple dinner).  Of course, I put away TOO MANY CALORIES and will have to really start to watch my diet.

Good times and now back to the routine.
