I was over Royaled for the year, but not now As already posted on another thread, am in the red now and in a big slump. That’s why I took two weeks off. I am way under for other straight flushes unlike FAA. Just luck I guess. I go against the grain in some games. In Deuces Wild, I don’t hold 2 to a Royal without a deuce. I also don’t draw to indide straights. Probably long term costs me, but I hit more Royal redraws than most and and deuces too some being redraws or just holding the deuce when in some low error situations. Like FAA, I tend to hit premium quads in both job and Deuces wild where they do me no good. And on Joker Kings as well.

I've never even dwelled on those hands. Joke is already on us and at our expense anyway.

Sad Saturday. Frazzled by traffic, so I stuck with Caesars. I won $15 on Caesars dollar JOB FP. The usual loss hour ensued. I was net -$300 when I hit my first max quad. Fortunately, the next one came at the adjacent machine three minutes later. Fifteen minutes later, my pal SF came while slumming on quarter JOB. I usually stop here, but I craved more. After losing $150, SF’s dollar brother came! Lunch at Kwi. I hit the sports lounge and later lost $6 chasing another quad. Net Day: -$97. 126 TCs.

You were sooooo close to your dream with that dollar straight flush. The quest down the path (II) matches on.

Excuse me: marches on and not matches on.

I apologize for any grammatical confusion this may have caused anyone.

Down 97 seems to be a win after being down 300

Glass half full; I concur. I did short coin the SF. It would have been another $750 RF bonanza anyway.

Absolutely incredible. I have never seen anybody hit as many Straight Flushes without wild cards. The Royal is just another Straight Flush. Hope the market hangs in there so we can justify our pass time and you can hit your 4 k Royal. Otherwise, it will be a hard sell to me to keep on trying to land some big ones or even little ones at this point. I equate vp with fishing and the old saying. A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work. I wouldn’t have to say that if I didn’t work for the bureaucracy For nearly 35 years. Same incompetence and waste then as I see now only now it is amplified.

I would have preferred quad Aces and a break even day. So strange to run into two SFs in 65 minutes. I really played with a desperation. Plenty of impressive hits, all of which left me with 20% less funds when the smoke cleared.

Having wagered only three coins, he wasn't really close at all!
