Why hit 12 vs 3 (dealer)?
Whenever the "stigma" of Job gets associated with any task I seem to be doing, it always seems to become work, Thus, removing any "fun" that might have been involved. Maybe just a superstition, but, why ruin a good thing? mh …

Trip Report - backed off

pushed back, now what?
***So I was spreading from $25 to $250 to sitting out a hand. In hindsight painfully obvious.*** I guess that would raise an eyebrow.
