broke my golden rule and it cost me

  Not even by doing those push ups where you clap your hands when your arms are fully extended?
I can do that, just not on purpose.

How do you want your steak? Once face down on the floor, all I can do is roll over.

   How do you want your steak? Once face down on the floor, all I can do is roll over. Ha!      Well one thing's for sure, we wont be having said steak at Trump Taj in ROBERT'S steak house.    with the outrageous shennanigans going on with non-payment of electric bills and the general attitude of management to keeping things at least clean and functional,  who knows what's going on with their restaurants and food staff.Think about this folks.....put yourself in the mindset of the people working right now at the Taj....they have watched incredulously as state and local government has allowed four (4) AC casinos to just shutter in a very short span, with NO help or relief or even a solid promise to try better again next time or at a later date.    Now it looks like TAJ is next, and it probably will be.....and current managment has already shown a complete disdain and lack of concern for the property its guests and most of all its employees!  Do you think, therefore, it would be wise for ANYONE to dine at one of TAJ's establishments in the next month?    I would not be surprised if the people who are facing oblivion are spitting in the food or deliberately sabotaging things as we speak, out of sheer rage and frustration and spite.     DONT THINK IT CANNOT HAPPEN, it does everyday in every city.So back to Billyjoe and steak.....forget the pushups, we'll just split it.....we'll stick to Gallaghers @ Resorts AC if we are so inclined, or Mortons at Caesars since you will be there.     Try and get your host that's going to feed you  to take you to Mortons for your dinner at Caesars.....it is a toss up between them and Gallaghers for best AC steak.

Wow, all that talk about AC casinos has me wondering if anyone will ever want to go there again; bad food, nasty staff, rigged machines, Etc. We went to the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut this summer and had a really nice time.  I understand they have had their own financial troubles, but it didn’t seem to affect employee attitude.

Atlantic City is still a great gambling destination to visit. We will be back as soon as we get our next free junket offer. We would definitely go more often if it was not such a PITA to get there.

We would definitely go more often if it was not such a PITA to get there.you just clearly indicated what is, in fact one of the biggest reasons AC has fallen on hard times.......   PITA to get there!     You are 100% correct chatty.....For years AC debated and stalled and kicked the can down the road in building up its Airport and restoring good reliable rail service to AC from all the major urban areas within several hours of south Jersey.   and nothing happened.......they frittered away any opportunity they had and now they reap the bitter fruit of their incompetence and greed and laziness.Sine the TAJ is all but dead unless the Unions basically surrender just about everything to Carl Icahn, by the time you get to AC again chatty there will onloy be 7 casinos:    4 on the boardwalk (Resorts, CAesars, BAllys and Tropicana)   plus the three on the marina (Borgata   Harrahs    Golden Nugget).The three Marian casinos are by far superior to just about anything else on the entire east coast with Borgata leading the way.SO I suggest planning your next trip in and around those three marina properties......they are within walking distance of each other if you follow the beaten path along the marina edge.    good luck

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt">I don't have anything against Bob Dancer. If fact, I think we own him a debt of gratitude and if I ever met him I would tell him so.  His software is excellent and is the only program I have seen that allows me to simulate denominations and the pay scedules in my own casino as I play.  His insight into comps and how they affect the overall profit is informative and helpful, not to mention teaching us how important it is to play as close to perfect as we are physically able.  The problem with most players using the Dancer strategy is that they ignore his rule #1 "He never plays negative expectation games".  I have no choice, but I'm smart enough to know what's going to happen if I try to play like a Dancer on a 96% machine, so I found something that works in my world. 

I believe I saw Bob also state in one of these forums, if you can't play at Maximum Bet level, learn the strategy for less than full coin, which can be very different.

I tried this for a while, but it makes it less likely to get that elusive Royal Flush, and have decided to stick with Max coin strategy even when I am playing less than that (which is most of the time).

May not be in my best interests, my counselor has warned me about getting that "big hit" and the thrill that comes with it. This can turn a recreational gambler into a compulsive one in a hurry.
