I was ultimately okay with the 98% results. But the roller coaster ride was too harrowing. Once you escape relatively unscathed, do you ask for yet more anguish? It’s cruising for a bruising.

Fatal Friday. I lost my $25 Caesars table FP on an eight to craps. I won $0 on my $25 machine FP on cold dollar BP. It took over an hour to hit a quarter quad. I went to the sports book. Unfortunately, I returned. I lost a quick $20 on quarter JOB. RF was hit in my absence. Then I lost a lost a lot on dollar BP. I went one coin at the end and hit a quad. Net Day: -$165. 66 TCs.

😬 just no rhyme or reason in gambling. All we can do is maintain discipline and try again. The D word is my problem.

Solid Saturday. I lost my $25 Caesars table FP on an unfourtunate four to craps. With the first floor still being renovated, I ascended. I won $44 on $25 dollar JOB. A supermarket stroll for lunch. I returned to the same machine. After losing $45, I lost $71 more. Then the VP gods dealt me quad deuces! Sports book, then hopped out of town. Net Day: +$92. 59 TCs. 295 TCs after 5X.

Congrats on the dealt deuces but if you cannot improve the hand why not just hold all five cards on the redraw? Doesn't matter at all to me, just wondering.

Good for you on taking advantage of the 5X multiplier day.

Nice hit on the dealt deuces. Roughly as rare as hitting a Royal on draw poker.

And sometime over the weekend (early Sat morning?) FAA surpassed Tedlark in Posts, two weeks earlier than I had predicted back in November...I used a calculation, but simple algebra did not take into account the rate of the catch, I needed to use calculus..

Funny, I never paid much attention before, but Ted, FAA, and myself are running neck and neck around 7,200 in total posts, but FAA has the highest per day total. Many times I want to add something to one I already have, but edit time outs force me to forget it or make another new one. I try and keep my useless ones to a minimum, doesn’t always work 😬 just like my Clone method of play. Headed up later tonight for triple status points, but not till I enjoy Easter with the family. FAA’s dealt deuces have me itching to land the same, but on a Bonus Deuces Wild game with the Ace giving me a double payout.
The triple status points run back to back today and tomorrow. Because of that, I have a decent chance of earning 100 in freeplay. Tread carefully is the theme though. I may be tempted to skip the close ev plays to take a better shot at the deuces. Low errors only.

Per year-

FAA: 925
Olds: 489
Tedlark: 469
TT: 132

Without you guys, this site would be pretty dead. I encourage everyone to post more, so long as it's on topic and in good spirit. Not sure there are any useless posts, like there are no dumb questions. I disagree with a lot of posts, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be posted for the benefit of others who agree, or who can use the info.

And of course I root for everyone, because it's not us against each other- it's all of us against the house! Good Luck all!
