The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Just to answer hop. When bankroll to play with is low, you have several choices. Stay home and mow the lawn, by the way I already did that, play just a few hands at a high denomination and hope against hope for a Royal, or play ones usual comfortable playing style which in my case is Martingale clone and make the bank roll last for an entire session.
In my scenario, you will see the quad deuces hit was with just a few nickels. That was early in the clone dance. Many hours later in the session, with even the nickel bankroll getting low, the clone came through with a bigger nickel bet and a Royal. The bottom line is a good time was had by all and I have an extra 400 bucks in my pocket I didn’t have before. The Mrs had some nice nickel hits too. When she sends me the pics from her phone, I will hang them up here. Bad decision.....depends on your perspective, in my case I say the correct decision was made.

I can relate to one or two of those Ted. If I remember, I was 22, the bouncer didn’t like a comment He thought I made, but didn’t to his on again, off again GF. Since I only had a mild buzz at this point and the GF stuck up for me and said.... no he didn’t say that, the bouncer had a choice, but decided to toss me anyway. Before I made it all the way out and within ear shot of his buddies, I said.... OK, tell you what. I will arm wrestle you. I win I stay and buy your 3 buds a round. I lose, I’m outa here no argument. It was tough, but he lost. The good part was, his buds were drinking the cheapest drafts the bar served. I think it cost me 2 bucks for all three. I stayed awhile, till his off again GF started getting a bit too friendly. I packed it in at that point. Had an early work start the next day anyway. Now where was I on VP?

. Would probably not have hit in quarters or dollars.
You definitely will not hit a quarter or dollar royal when you're playing nickels.
OLDS very true but you need to look at it this way. You play all over the board from nickles to dollars so each denomination you have to play 40k in hands for the royal not your total from all denominations. I find myself in the same boat, I play .25, .50 and $1 denom all most every trip. Therefore the royal hit has to come at any amount bet is hard to understand the true value of the royal.

I have played off free play at nickles and on that free play hit many royals for $200. I play the free play at that value since I am trying to get all or most the free play out the door. It is very rare for me to play on free play that day since we have what is called extra pay day. You get an extra weekly free play for only a few hours that day and if you did not play your weekly free play its like double but only that day of the promo. Next month I will have $300 at one casino and $200 at the other. Also they will run that promo at both casinos on the same day. (piss me off) I play it to the amount and out the door I go. It gets very busy that day and I hate busy. Play on that money another time on a lees busy day.

But back to the royals, a royal is a royal ant any denom, nice hit.
That's what I'll be doing too, Wildman. I make Tuesday, date day. We grab a sandwich, stop and get a caramel apple at Bayne's, then head for the casinos to "hit and run" our free play. Then we do some shopping, (Her favorite thing) and have a sit down meal.
Congrats on the Royals, I'd say the dealt one was across the street, and the 2nd at Bar Two.
Congrats to you too, Olds! Lets make the next one an even shorter thread!

PS Olds, don't worry about the report card. Teacher's not likely to send you home with a note! :lol:

Seems like we are having a bit of fun here so maybe I will just start my Royal count over. After the last Royal above, I played another 3,000 hands the next day. So we will just say 3,000 hands so far on the reset. Heating up later tomight

Thank you OTB Most importantly, everyone stay well. Hope Ted came back negative. Ct has just jumped to 3 percent positive from one. 42 other states are on the rise.

Thanks for the well wishes, my results will take 4-7 days to come back after testing yesterday.

On a somewhat related note: Illinois has had a major spike in cases and today the governor reinstalled restrictions not only on casinos in Will County (Harrah's Joliet, Hollywood Joliet) but I also believe that affect Hollywood Casino, Aurora, IL too. Starting this Friday these casinos will be required to close at 11:00 PM for 14 days. This means they will begin shooing people out at 10:00 PM. There was no mention if they were also reducing operating capacity like before but I am guessing this is a yes.

Wow! Guess we are entering phase 2 already in this country. Ted, since you don’t know yet, don’t sleep on your back. Also take EmergC. And zinc. Even a coated 81 asprin if you arent taking it already. Fluids of course. And vitamin D3. Hopefully just a bad cold and either way, the above should help.
