Learn Blackjack With A's Players -- For Charity

by Nico on Jul 26, 2010 1:54 PM PDT

Wednesday, August 4th, if you have time and have $100.00 you can part with, you can learn blackjack from the MIT Blackjack Team and mingle with A's players (such as Craig Breslow, Andrew Bailey, Dallas Braden, Ben Sheets, Trevor Cahill, Jerry Blevins, Mike Wuertz, and Brad Ziegler), while supporting Pediatric Cancer research.

Check it out and let us know if you're going to participate so we can know who's "representing" AN and we can give you some free extra insider tips, like "Hitting on 19 is undervalued!" and "Always double-down if you're dealt a 2 and a 4 because those are Cindi's 'lucky letters.'"

I would so be at this event

if I lived in California. Breslow is “the smartest man in the world.”

Spending time with my nephew and the AN Crew on July 10th...PRICELESS!

How come Cindi wasn't at Chez Nico?

I showered that day and everything.

BTW, neat little event this is.

I'm here to talk about the past.

Midterm retake.

Of a midterm retake. Sigh.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

So they're going to teach us card counting? Sweet, where do I sign up?

I’ve seen 21, that looked like a fun lifestyle. I realise you need a team – so Dan, Cup, you seem like smart guys. You up for a trip to Vegas?

Kyli you could come too if you’re not too busy vacationing. I wonder if Shoes is free too – that film emphasised the roles of girls as part of the cover IDs.

I’ll go start the car.

I am always, always up for a trip to Vegas.

You gotta hold onto my bail money for me, though. It always seems to end up in the slot machines by the end of the first day, and that’s just bad planning.

heh, bail money

Reminds me of the time I actually did almost have to bail one of my best friends out of jail in Vegas…

I don't think casinos turn you over to the cops.

But if you wanna hand me money, sure go ahead. I’ll ~~spend it wisely~~ hold onto it for you.

Oh, no, they do turn you to the cops

Unless you’ve got the sheckles to have them do otherwise…

Is Geren playing?

That guy loves to say “hit me” looking at 20, a real risk taker.

Squeeze, Bobo, squeeze!
