NYC Trip: WWtbaM and Foxwoods
Pete and I on Thursday went down to New York City to be in the audience for two Who Wants to be a Millionaire? episodes and to test/audition to be on a future episode. The written test was harder than expected and I missed at least 3 of 30 and neither of us were called to audition. Of course, even if I had been, I doubt I would have been picked (Pete, I think, would have a much better shot). Also, the trip turned out to be pretty slow and traffic was stressful and there was a ton of time just waiting around. I doubt I'll try again but I'll see.
On the way back, we stopped at Foxwoods casino for Pete to play Craps and me to play Poker. Pete explained a bunch of the MANY Craps bets that were possible but it is clearly a straight losing game with pretty bad odds and I couldn't bring myself to play. I played 2-4 Hold'em after waiting a long while for a table and had a really nice time and made $80 in two hours of play. I was in the zone probably as much as I have ever been with poker, almost never needing to recheck my cards and feeling quite comfortable with the casino atmosphere which I hadn't before. I also was making excellent calls on what hands people had although I still paid off too many people and our table was a fun group. I may consider going more often, at least if I have company for the trip.
