Major mistake?

[notes1]

[QUOTE=notes1] good for you, enjoying the game is what matters and limiting our losses to what we can afford.

I should correct one thing I said, there may those who are winners over the past 5 years here. I would enjoy hearing from them, and how they did it.

I'm up over the past 3ish years, which only amounts to just a little over 200,000 hands. It helps that I've been overroyalled by about 2, but it's mostly because the majority of my play has been at FPDW with the occasional foray into 10/6 DDB and 9/6 JoB (when there's a point multiplier going on). Also, I'm not up a lot dollar-wise because virtually all of my play is single line quarters.

I just play because I have fun doing it, and it doesn't hurt that I'm up![/QUOTE]

I fear I am being trolled by a professional.

200k hands over 3+ years is a small sample size, how about over the last 5 years.

in my experience, the games you are playing are playing are almost impossible to find in any place outside of Nevada.

I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, been wrong before, will be wrong in the future, but, before I do, let me make sure I understand you correctly.

it is virtually impossible for any single player, to deviate from the proper play on VP, consistently, over the long term, and have a better result than if the correct play were made.

so, in the original post on this thread, no one, who does not keep the kicker, over the long term, can possibly end up with a better result, than one who kept the kicker.

am I stating your assertion correctly?

I would still appreciate an answer to this post.

You're just a miserable little man, aren't you? Yes, it is a small sample size - I never claimed I was a professional. I don't have any records going past that because 3ish years ago is when I started taking VP seriously and learning all the correct holds.

And yes, Nevada. My screen name should tell you where I'm located - Vegas is not very far away - I'm there every couple of months or so.

I'm not answering because I've already answered it in multiple posts and I'm not going to continue feeding the trolls.

But then again, I answered your question about winning in the past few years nicely and you troll back, so I suppose trolls just gonna troll.

Anyway, I've learned my lesson. I won't be responding to you again, so go find someone else to bother.

[notes1]

how would I know from your screen name, your location? why couldn't your screen name be someone's first/last name?

I have never posted on any other forum except this and never heard anyone else use the word 'troll' on this site. leads me to believe you spend a lot of time behind a keyboard.

it is a valid question as to why you chose a 3+ time period to report results, when you stated you are over RF and play a limited amount. one might just wonder if the time period selected coincided with the first royal.

no need to respond, we are done.

notes is the last person on this forum that would be considered a troll, lol.

thanks jeter.

because I do not post anywhere else, I had to look up 'troll'. I am not well versed on latest terminology used on internet.

10/6 DDB and 9/6 JoB doesn't exist in my area, I'm shocked it's offered anywhere at .25 denomination. Around here it seems like casinos are having a race to hit bottom first. I was working in Buttcrack, Ms. a few days ago and we found a casino in the middle of nowhere, the best DDB they had at $1 denomination was 8/5, didn't spend a penny in that place. I don't care who you are or what you know, in this area you will lose money, best thing you can learn is how to control losses, I'm not an expert at that but I'm getting better.

[notes1]

when your state's primary business is gaming/tourism, you are going to offer the best product you can. when you are located in the desert, in the middle of nowhere, you need to offer a good reason for people to show up.

low taxes, competition, favorable business climate and forward looking leadership, means consumers have the opportunity to get a good value for their entertainment dollar. political leaders know what business brings in the tax revenues, employs the electorate and they are not going to do anything that hurts that business.

other states that have gaming look at it simply as a tax source, a business that they can impose hefty sin taxes, with little regard for the players.

in Nevada, government exists to assist the gaming industry, in other states, gaming exists to reward the gov, big difference.

I/m/o, these are among the reasons that payouts are so much better.

I won a substantial Freeplay amount Saturday on a scratch off promotion. I was being very careful and my luck was good. I ended the night with AWK on DDB dollars where I kept 2 aces.

Sunday I started with a $250 ticket and right away was dealt 4 Jacks on Triple play dollars. I switched to 10 play TDB quarters and was getting some good hands when suddenly I'm dealt 'The Hand'. I thought about it and because of not getting the ace on the last 2 attempts chose to throw away the kicker. One hand I drew the ace as the first card, another I got a 2 as the first card then the ace. While waiting for my hand pay I played the next machine triple play TDB dollars, kept 2 aces and got the other 2 and the kicker. I didn't use any of my FP that night.

Last night on TDB dollars I was dealt 4 aces on triple play. My heart pounding, I hit draw and got 10, J, K - all clubs. Aaaaargh!!! I will never rely on the math on this hand and will let the VP gods decide what I will get.

I still have a tidy profit and plenty of FP to use so we'll see what else happens.
