How often has this happened to you:
You are playing a table and it goes ice cold. You get down to literally your last bet and then the table turns hot.
Happened to me last night. I literally was on my last bet (had to borrow odds from my wife) and then the table turned hot. Left the table with double my buy in and wife was up 2.5x.
I can think of other times this has happened to me.

I can recall two sessions at video poker where I was down to my last five coins and hit quad aces. Happened once at Morongo playing Super Aces Bonus and then happened recently at Rincon also playing Super Aces Bonus: last five credits, quad aces hit.
If you don't factor in money remaining in your pocket, I have hit every sort of hand on a last 5 credits in the machine.
One royal, a couple of SF's, four aces at least once, and many quads...
It's always a weird feeling of having been "rescued" or "thrown a life raft" at that juncture even when I've only put in the first or just a few C-notes in the machine.
Twice, during recent casino visits playing craps, I ran into a situation where I didn't have enough money left to bet during a hot roll. The money was lost on previous rolls, but had I still had the money I would have cleaned up.
On my last visit to Caesars, I had six passes (three numbers repeated so no fire bet payoff) but all I could afford to bet was $10 on the fire plus the passline for $15. 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
Alan: I never try to second-guess what you do for your own gambling, but this shows me it wouldn't hurt just to have $300-$500 cash available for situations like these even though you are using markers for most of your action.Originally Posted by Alan Mendelson
when I am in LV I have a strict rule: my marker limit is my limit. In hindsight, wouldn't it have been wonderful if I had another $500 cash to bet? But what if it had gone the other way and instead of making those passes I would have lost that additional cash?
As it was, I did make a profit, but unfortunately only on the flat passline bets... but it was still a profit.
The big "unfortunately" is that I didn't make all six numbers in the fire bet for a $10,000 payoff!!
