No there is no negative option
 . I do not make ATM runs or anything like that. I bet what I bring and that's it. My track record has been terrible the last 3-4 times out. I'll be playing mostly craps & blackjack, with a little 3 card poker, possibly some let-it-ride, etc etc. If you have any ideas of something new I should try, feel free to suggest. Laberge du Luc (the casino I'm going to) doesn't have poker yet so that's not an option. I will post the honest answer when I return on Sunday.

Oh, one more thing. Figure out a dollar amount that you'll be happy walking away with. I don't really play regular poker so I don't know what kind of cutoff percentage to use. For sports gambling I use 3x. If I start out the weekend with $500, and by mid saturday afternoon I'm up to $1500, I'm done gambling for the weekend. No sunday NFL bets or anything else.
I don't know what $600 means to you. You seem to imply it's pretty much petty cash for a weekend excursion, so it's probably not a big deal if you come away with $0 or $1000. Regardless, I'd set up a "walk away" figure of like $1200. If you end up doubling your money at any point in time, be satisfied and walk away. Don't be a dumbass and try to turn $1200 in to $2400 on one hand. Odds are much greater you'll turn $1200 in to $0 in the span of about 45 seconds. If you end up doubling your money, go rejoice, treat yourself to a nice filet mignon and a hooker. You'll still head home with what you came with, plus an extra bonus - a full tummy and VD Funny sidestory- I managed to get myself permanently banned from playing poker at my house the first night I moved in. I don't play poker really so I guess I don't know etiquette. It was a $50 buy-in and the second I hit $100 I said I'm out, which pissed off the other 7 guys playing. Apparently you either lose everything or win everyone else's money. Sorry, I don't like those odds. Poker is worthless to me other than a way of making some cash, so I cashed out when I was ahead. Now I'm not allowed to play anymore
