damn i cant even imagine the rush of watching $2,500 play out on a single hand like you did. I love to gamble and I understand that I'm always on the other side of the odds when I play, but I just love the fun and excitement of it. $2,500 would be pushing it for me though where it goes from fun/entertainment cost to real money. I dont get out to Vegas as much as I used to but usually I will bring $1,500-2,000 to play with and leave the ATM card at home. How much do you reasonably need to sit at the big bacc table? Is it usually $100 mins? Do you usually play at the big table or at mini bacc or one of the other smaller bacc variants?
