Extremely Lucky. I should quit for the year now!

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

Very easy to fall behind for the year. Behind to begin with by a lot, then a few nice windfalls, then the losing sessions to the tune of 800-1500 each. It doesn’t take much. Should be near even right sbout now. However, I am a bit ahead on Royals for the year aveaging right about 35,000 hands. I know they will catch up and get me back as the year goes on. Must rely on further discipline and hope for a flurry of quad deuces as well. Finally, stay away from those flurry's of 15,20,25 dollar bets per hand. I don’t bring a 20k or even a 10k or 5k bankroll with me to cover those. I am thinking of trying one thing thing though. If I am way behind in a session on hitting quads, or if playing deuces wild and quads without deuces are scarce too, switching late in a session to 9/6 DDB games. That way I won’t have to increase my bets so fast if playing the clone and hoping for quads. Even on a cheap quad in DDB 50 for one instead of 25 for job. I have noticed in job sessions that are quadless for 5,6,7 hours, by session hour 8 or 9, you might get a flurry of quads close together. I am sure I am not the only one to notice that.

I need a straitjacket if I am quadless for a single hour. When it does come, still -$15! JOB is obviously boring as all hell. I am just chomping at the bit to hit and run. Thank Heaven that the middle seats are out of service on my bank. The clientele is not exactly stellar. I like to max my bets at $5 and hope to connect big, as my last two sessions demonstrated.

Very lucky to get this last night which brought me back to even. Unfortunately I lost 7% to the state

I had already cashed out that’s why you only see the Hamden at the pay out

Photo must always be the priority at this juncture. Sloppy technique. Well off center, inelegant negative space left. Big positive in account. But I’m confused. $1,200? Hey, at least it isn’t upside down again.

On the ropes again. Budget was in bust territory. Handfull of hands left at this level. Saved by the bell on this Joker Kings Straight Flush. 1200 budget limped away with a small loss.

$900 will usually be salvation. It took outlandish $18 bets to achieve. But all’s well that ends well. Obviously some decent comp accrued. I can see how slant tops compromise photos. If you tilt the phone slightly down, it should align with the machine’s angle.

I found a great alternative for pounding

on sticky or non working cracked buttons or glass touch screens that do not respond due to dry fingers from hand sanitizer. It is the rubber ball on the better ball point pens. Used it all last night and no mistakes like hitting draw and all the cards weren’t held.

That is a classy solution. I never liked the feel of sanitizer in the first place. But this reminds me! I could certainly create a better space for myself by grabbing some casino wipes and tossing them in my bag, ready to perform a nice clean refresh. That quarter bank dump could sure use it.

No luck for me. Last 2 visits to Borgata, I played the 9/6 JOB multi strikes. Wound up down $ 1,100. Couldn't get off the bottom line

Alarming losses. They've really paid off. Now you got stuck with the multi strike bill, and it's what you'd expect. I hope and pray that I've put those massive loss trips behind me.
