First, table games are often games of skill --- many of which are countable. Knowing how to do this does not make you a savant or prodigy --- but it does make you more knowledgeable that the average player.FAA wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 7:18 amButting heads up against table games? I agree. Table games are basically donation central, unless you are a savant or prodigy.
I marvel at our suspended member who came out about even after a single eight hour VP day. I'm usually thrilled to walk away even after one hundred minutes of dread.
On the second point, notice how the discussion went from "one session" to "usually." Any player who has played many times, if they focus on one particular session will have some of them that are extremely good, others are extremely bad, others are so so. Just saying that on July 8 (or any other day), I played for xxxx hours and had such and such a result is meaningless. Someone who loses many many thousands of dollars a year will have a few winning days. Players who win year after year have a LOT of losing days of losing days (even months, occasionally years).
When someone tells you of a particular session, don't assume all of their sessions are like that. We see lots of pictures posted on this site where somebody got a royal flush or AWAK or whatever on a machine with a particularly dreadful pay schedule. Despite whatever you see from the posted pictures, people who play on such machines are financially big-time losers.
