I just came back from ym first trip to an honest-to-God casino, namely the Chumash casino in Santa Ynez. I figured it was time to cash in the jar of change I had on my dresser (which amounted to $70) and see if I could make a little money – or at least, not hemorrhage money – at a real poker table.
So I sat down at the 2-4 Hold ’em table, and started out with the typical beginner’s luck – a pair of Kings on my first hand was enough to win my first pot. Action was pretty slow for the day, although I did try to stay out of harm’s way as much as I could, only calling with decent hands and folding if I missed the flop. All in all, I ended up protifing about $11 for about an hour and a half worth of playing.
Which I then blew on gas for the ride home. Note to self: next time I go (and there will be a next time, for sure), gas up in Ventura, where it’s about 30¢ less per gallon.
$70 in change? You have one of those little coin machines at home or did you blow it in the Conistar at a supermarket?
Chumash is a pretty cool casino. Even though I’m under-aged. You go on that rollarcoaster?
Alright LOOG!!! Make that moolah! XD
Well, actually, I was going to put it into a Coinstar, but I went to two different supermarkets and both their machines were out of order. So I went to the Ventura County Credit Union branch about a block away and cashed it in there for about $1.50 less. Woot.

Roller coaster?
Wow, I messed up.
You know what I don’t know why, but I was thinking of Buffalo Bill’s. Damn that was stupid *smacks head*.
Yeah man, just don’t forget about the little people when you make it big! That’s what Pee-Wee Herman did, and we all know what happened to him.
Re: Wow, I messed up.
