Intro to me

Hi everyone. I've been reading site for a while and decided it would be fun to become a member and start posting some of my experiences.
First Ive only been playing VP seriously for about a year. I've played it since I was 21 (9 years) but up until last October I was more of a BJ player. Last October after playing BJ for about 4 hours I decided to take some of the bank roll and go for a big hit on VP. I sat down at a $ DW game and was quickly rewarded with quad 2s for 1k. Normally this kind of win leads to a quick exit, but today was different. I headed over to another bank of $ machines and called for a slot attendant. I wanted her to crack machine and set it for double up option. I played a few hands not hitting anything at all and started losing my confidence. I glanced down to see how much of my 100 dollars was gone and was startled to see that I only had 40 dollars left. I had accidently picked a 10 credit max bet machine. I wanted to cash and walk but the slot girl was standing close and I felt bad having her go through that hassle just to get up 90 seconds later so I decided to ride out my 100. I hit bet 5 and was rewarded with 4oak (DW game still). I realized betting max is still the way to go if I was going to continue on this machine, so I hit max for a few more hands. Nothing and I say to myself I have no confidence this machine is going to give me anything, but with 35 bucks left I hit bet max and I am dealt 4 to royal. Cool a wild royal or even a flush will be a nice payback, so I hold the 4 card and hit draw. Hmmm the machine locked up. Cue music dun dun dun dun. " no f...ing way!" the lady two machines down asks " did you get something? Oh yeah you did. " I'm starring at an 8k royal flush and the begining of a love affair.
So here we are 11 months later about 140k hands in and plenty of 1600 dollar aces on DB but no repeat of the elusive royal. Best day since is 2 1600 dollar aces within 10 mins of eachother, but I'm still looking for that love at first sight I first laid eyes on last October.
Starting on 9-8 I decided to track my days at the local gambling boats.
That day I started with my normal roll of $500 and left doubled up. Yesterday 9-10 lost 300 on a STP .25 five play and went to ATM to get my other $200 and was denied saying I've hit my limit for the day. Zuh? I haven't used it today. Took that as an omen and called it a night.
I live in Illinois and work in aurora live in Plainfield, so I play at both Hollywood and Empress Joliet. Empress is my fav (hit royal there) but lately have had more luck at Hollywood. I plan on keeping up with updates for anyone that's intrested in reading gambling stories.
Thanks for having me and thanks for reading. Good luck.
