I wasn't even going to play last night, but then was talked into it at the last minute. It was hot. Felt unpleasant walking, even after the sun was down. When I play the strip, I am dropped off at one location and picked up later at another with a lot of walking and even occasional travel on the packed deuce, which is always pleasant in the heat. So that was yucky.
I placed 3 sessions at 3 casinos and lost them all. Not that unusual. Not huge losses, but it drops my table game blackjack results to 4 figures almost halfway through the year.
Those figures are skewed because I have played much less blackjack than normal while we chased the blackjack machine play around the country for several months. So probably about a quarter of my regular amount of play, and below expectation with that.
And finally, others plying their "trade" were out. Dude attempted to pick pocket me. I immediately knew when he bumped into me because it wasn't even that crowded in that area I was walking, so there was no need to bump into me. I immediately grabbed his arm. His hand was half way down my pocket, which I didn't really feel. When I grabbed his arm, be popped me in the face pretty good and ran. He got nothing. I am not going to post how I handle walking around with money, but he wasn't going to get much anyway.
A nearby dude grabbed him and he and his friend held the guy down until the cops came. I debated whether to stick around, but figures since the bystander had gone to the trouble to grab this guy, I would.
And this morning I have a pretty good shiner and lump on one eye. Life in Vegas.
So what was the resolution? Are they getting him for attempted robbery or just assault? Will you have to testify at his hearing?Originally Posted by kewlJ
