Surviving Biloxi

What game was the first two pictures from?  (the royal in spades and the four deuces with a 4?)Wow, you must have cycled and put some serious coin-in with those hits, while playing TDB at $1 with those paytables!   You clearly have a gambler's stomach and contstitution to be able to stand such swings and volatility!

Nice!  There's no doubt that the Beau Rivage is a great hotel.   We have both hit some nice jackpots there.  The only problem we have is that the odds are so bad that we come home a loser anyway.  Pretty discouraging when you get scalped trip after trip.

Three-line TDB at $1 denom.

Since I only took pics of handpays, what you do not see are the instances when I cashed out tickets from machines after achieving a specific win stop. These provide the money to play additional sessions during the trip.

[/QUOTE]wow    OKAY, so cut to the chase:  What was your final tally for the entire time?  How much did you finish up or down?   And what was you approximate total "Coin in" for the entire time?

  MPD don't sweat it, he has asked me those same questions before along with others that were a bit more intrusive. Answer if you want to but otherwise I'd answer: MYOB.

Answer if you want to but otherwise I'd answer: MYOB.MPD, you seem smart enough not to fall for this idiotic attempt to sow discord and animosity where none exists....I am sure you are very familiar with Ted and his delusional BS by now.AS I indicated in my first post in this thread (which you kindly responded to), I am intrigued and interested in this (rather amazing) video poker experience of yours.....I personally do not think my additional questions about how you did overall in your session(s) depicted in the pics you posted are intrusive.....Many people on this forum regularly share actual dollar amounts regarding how they did or fared during specific trips or sessions at various casinos.    I ask out of genuine curiosity and interest, but of course, it is totally ok whether you want to answer or not.....I will still respect and like you just the same!And I think you (and the forum) know that the one person who needs to be told "MYOB" is Ted himself since no where in this thread  or amongst these posts was anything directed or addressed to him.....tell Ted you can answer for yourself and fight your own battles (not that there was even a battle to be fought to begin with....)And MPD, If you ever find yourself in AC I'd truly like to buy you a beer.....Go *bleep* yourself Ted.....I mean that with all sincerity

posters here on Forum saying they believe that the VP deal is random,
but the draw may somehow be adjusted to not catch premium hands. All my
hand pays were on drawn hands. It's a small sample, and doesn't prove
anything,----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I agree. I don't buy the dealt vs drawn theory either. But you were dealt those four aces and two kicker, AFAIK. Nice hitting so many jackpots you lose track of things!

Actually, if you look close FAA, I was only dealt 3 aces. I was playing Frenzy, so it gave me 12 (I think) draws at the additional Ace. I caught one, and luckily, it had the kicker. The other AWAKS were on Frenzy, but since I only was dealt two aces, I was not in Frenzy mode. I was dealt 3 Aces another time playing Frenzy, caught the 4th ace on two hands, but with no kicker, so the handpay (no picture) was a little over $1600.

I believe in Money Management when playing VP, and as a $1 player, you need a bankroll. I allocate a certain amount to each playing session, and if I lose it during that session, I stop. The handpays usually take me over the Win target that I set for myself in VP, so I would almost always stop my play session at that point, unless I was still WAY UP with the session money allocated. In that case, I would just pocket the handpay, and play-off the remaining session money, hopefully to another handpay or my Win target.

Over the course of a gaming trip (this one was 5 days), I will play numerous VP sessions, usually each day or evening, mixing in other activities when I either hit my win or loss target. I did finish positive, certainly, for this trip. I do not track 'coin-in', so I have no clue.
