Was grinding my way back after a 3 day 2.5k loss, and doing OK. Count goes up to TC +5. The wife and I push out 3 black each. Our next door neighbor just happens to show up and starts yapping away. My wife takes over the conversation for interferance to let me concentrate. The table gets painted and dealer get's "A". Insurance? The neighbor, who has a heavy asian accent (no offence intended)"Oh you guys winning big money". I glance at her for a second, dealer says "Insuarnce closed" and turns over BJ. AAAARRGH! I know I was playing a little tired,(earlier in the session I hit a 2 against a dealer 14.It turned out OK, and thought I was still on top of things, though my wife admonished me for the foolish mistake.) I can deal with the cocktail waitresses and ploppys, but who expects the annoying next door neighbor. On top of that,on vacation at the same time we are.
CVBJ, loud TV,stereo and wife can only prepare you so much. Ironically we finished the trip $600.00 down. People , don't give me the pinniata treatment. This is jut an FYI. I've been beating myself up for the last 2 days. DO'NT PLAY IF YOUR NOT UP TO YOUR "A" GAME!
