, which we are wont to do several times during our visit.It's the Tachi Casino, a very nice place, out in the farmlands of Central California.
Anyway, for those officianiados of three-card poker, I was playing the second night that we were there. It was a good table with a couple of fellows headed for Japan and onwards after they finished training at the local base.
After an hour or so of treading water, I was dealt three queens. That's 30-to-1 at the Tachi Casino, and I was feeling very good.
Many high-fives resulted and since I had bet the minimum (I've never claimed to be an adept gambler) I put up the same bet for the next hand, plus $5.00 for the dealer (as I figured I owed him that for such a great hand).
The next three cards dealt to me: 7, 8 9 of clubs, a straight flush: payoff of 40-to-1. The dealer made a nice $200.00 and for 45 seconds, I was a legend at the table.
Of course, most of the moolah never made it back, but it's the moment that counts, eh?
