My total buy in was $100 and I wasn't even confident enough to bet odds. My goal was to hit the fire bet. First point was 4, then 10, then 5, then 4 again, then 4 one more time, then 10 again, then I established the 5 again but didn't make it. Six passes -- six winners -- but no odds, no other numbers, and no fire bet payoff. What could have been a "big winning hand" was almost a disaster because I had no money left to bet.
Needless to say others at the table cleaned up... and no tips for me either. LOL
