Happy Birthday

Congrats Phil. Last year I was down in Tampa for St Patricks Day weekend to see some Yankee spring training games with my daughters. We went to Hard Rock one night and had a nice dinner at the Council Oak steakhouse. I then played one of the better deuces games at 50 cents and threw away 5 cards and was dealt a royal on the redraw for 2K. May get down again this spring.
My wife has taken about $3K of their money in the past few months. Sounds like you found the better games in the old casino. Hopefully they will still be there when you return. Let me know when you will be back. We may be there at the same time.
Bolded part: In realty, she got back about $3k she previously spent there. ;)

No matter what though, nice hits.

I hear you Phil on the 3 month streak in the wrong direction. I have 7 straight sessions now or about 35,000 hands without quad deuces. Afrer getting beat up on the last session for about 6 hours straight, in desparation I switched to Joker kings. Hit 5 of a kind twice in 2 hours. In the long haul, 5 of a kind is half as likely to hit as quad deuces so I agree luck has a huge part to play in vp at least in the short run. And who knows what a short run even is. It could be minutes, hours, days, or years.

35,000 hands is long time to go without a quad deuce. I don't believe I've ever had a quad deuce dry spell that long. The most I have ever hit in one day was four. Your day is coming.

Agreed. She's ahead of the casino for 2020. Of course it's only February. :lol:

Thanks Phil. Need to see if my wife will ***** about me going down to Tampa for a few days.
