58 3OAk, less 11 aces, 47. Are you holding kickers at all on the non ace hands?

If it fits the QQ criteria I hold appropriate cards.

An interesting side note, the few 4oak I was able to get we're all naturals holding two cards. Because of the lack of QQs I started playing 5 coin instead of 6 coin thus taking the QQ out of play. First hand I dropped to 5 coin was dealt what would have been a QQ on 10 hand DB. Lol, you can't make this chit up.

All of this stuff sounds too familiar to me at Mohegan Sun in a slightly different way. If play bet 1 job, the quads fall out of the sky. Bet 5 or more, almost none. On top of that, the numbers of quad aces, 2s, 3s, and 4s are way out of wack on job. Also tremendously long dud streaks in a game with the least variance. For that reason, I dumped playing 9/6 job for the most part at Mohegan. Fluke...possible, but have seen the pattern for years. I am trying to survive now playing games with a good paytable and quit when a premium hand comes in. Easier said than done on most trips. Seems like many consecutive sessions that are losers no matter how careful you play, then it is like Big Poppy, Mantle, or Maris, hitting 3 or 4 homers in the same game. Just doesn't add up somehow.
     Edited to add....I was so fortunate to see Roger Maris hit number 60. I was at the park with my dad and brother. I was 13. If I remember Mel Allen called the play.

I don't play JOB but Monday I stopped in to play a little $1 denom DDB, the guy next to me was playing $5 denom JOB. I wasn't really hitting anything but the machine was letting me play hitting the small stuff, I played for a long time on $100. The guy next to me playing $5 denom JOB said you have to watch this to believe it. His complaint was that he could never hit a quad when he played 5 credits but was hitting them left and right playing 1 credit. He admitted that he had hit 3 royals at the casino while playing 5 credits but hardly ever hit a quad at max play. I stopped playing and started watching him play, sure enough nothing when he playing max credits (I felt bad for the guy burning thru $100 bills), almost as soon as he would switch to 1 credit a quad would come, I saw him hit 3 quads at 1 credit. I told him I would just play 1 credit but he said he was scared he would hit a royal if he did that.

Even the VP at Caesars sucked.-------------------------------------------I can confirm this. I am through with Caesars. The emperor has no clothes. It has been unplayable all year. I thought it was simply a function of a small bankroll. I have moved to dollar machines for much of my play. Poor decisions. lost $200 each of the last three visits. This is now on the list of untrustworthy casinos in town. As Jeter has reported on the continued unplayable situation at Harrah's, that just leaves Bally's for CET players. It's dingy and loud, and I have no desire to scout the dollar machines. The clientele is what it is. But that all works in my favor. I can stay less time and feel good about taking off, since it's not exactly a cushy environment. I can safely recommend that all AC VP players avoid Caesars and Harrah's entirely. They are hell on earth.

I'm thinking of giving up my favorite game and exploring other avenues.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Think fast, act faster. I'm in the same boat at Caesars. The circumstances DB has painstakingly warned us about for years have now overtaken our casinos as well! Metastasizing, as it were. We've got to get the hell out before we're doomed. I can't sustain this hobby any longer at this rate of loss.

Well it seems most everyone is experiencing some sort of abnormalities, how is this being accomplished? Remember when I said controlled not fixed. Could this be a reality?, or are we all sore losers.

Even I would say sore losers, but when you see the patterns over millions of hands like I do, you have to wonder. unfortunately, I have dumped job because of this and am surviving on triple games hoping to hit just one premium hand other than the Royal. So far so good. My posts have a little more detail.
