My Journey on Video Poker

+905...tonight was a roller coaster (usually is), but more so. Started with my usual $400 and right away with 2222A in the first 10 hands or so. So far so good, but then plummeted at one point down to about $90 dollars left. Then flopped a few regular quads and enough full houses to get around $300 or so. Then I saved an A of diamonds and sure enough, on the draw, 10,Q,J,K of diamonds for a $1,053 Royal. Cashed out at $1305 and called it a day. As a wise one once said, I'd rather be lucky than good. Or as bob dancer might say, no such thing as luck cheers guys. Always nice to hit a royal for sure. Till next time

Not a problem at all! It is good to see you were sucessfully able to post the screenshot! I do see the 4212 quarter credits to understand that you hit the Royal Flush progressive at $1053.

I tried using the very popular flickr but for some reason they delete all gambling related images. I would say this is the easiest method out of the few that I know. I hope this host lasts!

Nice 1 card hold hit! That's the only royal hit I have not had yet.

Congrats on the royal, whether you got it by luck or not; you got it.

Forget the luck, take the bucks!

+100. One of those semi-frustrating short sessions. Hit 4 aces with a 5 kicker, 4 deuces no kicker, 4 fours no kicker, and some quads. In between,
Kept missing flush/straight draws which makes a difference between a good night and a great night. Finally hit quad 3's with kicker and called it a night. There are three machines, I play late at night, and started to see a female player a few times now. Usually don't see anybody around much less on a regular basis. Will be interesting to see if I keep seeing her or she ends up fed up with swings and moved to another machine.
What I love is to see people come up with $20, $50, or a $100 bucks. These people almost never win and I know the casino makes good money on these machines and will keep them around for a long time. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with taking pot shots. Like a nickel player who hits a royal and decided to take $100 of the $200 and take a shot at quarters. That's fine. But let it be known, as Doyle Brunson once said, scared money doesn't win. Way better to come with a sufficient roll to survive the inevitable ups and downs of the game. Otherwise, risk of ruin (bankruptcy) is huge! Ironic that these players don't realize they have a much better chance of winning with a sufficient bankroll at risk, then $20 or $50 bucks. Less to come in with, more reliant luck, which rarely comes. Then again, last session it would of worked since I hit 2222A in the first ten hands. But rare exception indeed.
Okay, off my soapbox lol
Will only take pictures of four Aces with kicker or royal since I know how to post them now. Figure they are rare enough...1 in 16,000 or so and the other, one in 40,500 or so. I don't think anyone cares about the others.
Cheers and on to the next,

Hell, he's been playing professionally for fifty years so he would know. Scared money can win on the Cheap System. You min coin it, dutifully work up a bankroll and pot shot from there. I always come with under $80. We're talking a day of entertainment. JOB players can get away with it. Those one coin quads and royals do have me seeing red!
