9 hour marathon. I pulled five of a kind on joker kings, four deuces on quarter DW and quads in JOB right on schedule which is what I need to do in Martingale Clone. Made a nice $500 dent in losses earlier this month. The first half of the session I played Three line spin poker and for the last half single line 9/6 JOB.

Excellent trip. I thought that you were wasting your time, when you were actually raking in $55/hour. It sounds like you made your profit on the first 4.5 hours and then slummed it on single line JOB in a break even 4.5 hour slog. That would have been boring as all hell if not for Martingale.

You’re both wrong. No geography lesson necessary. I am surprised that person isn’t clear. If TL assumed that it was him, his ego is the size of Lake Michigan.
Where in my post did I think that you were thinking of me? I don't assume anything. I wouldn't even assume that your favorite Batman villain was The Riddler...

If you are surprised that person isn't clear, why don't you just say who you were thinking of?

Maybe good deeds still get rewarded. I have been sharing a bit after my trips with my local Animal Shelter. Last night’s trip was almost an instant replay of the prior one. Plus 480. I didn’t play Joker kings this time. The bulk of the win was on the same 97.58 Triple Spin poker Deuces wild. No Royals. Lots of full houses this time on single line JOB. Quads were a bit less than average. Total play time between 8-10 hours. Hard to be exact as I took a few stretch breaks and a late Asian dinner in the Asian good court. It stays open till 3AM. Was ok but I don’t think I would order again. Ma Po Tofu with rice. I think I may be down less than a grand now for the New Year.

Yep, sounds familiar. That is also my damage, without the heavy coin in. My first 2021 RF was in February. Hoping for deja vu. Unfortunately, it was also dollar short coin fiasco. :?

Almost everyone I talk to says they did great last Jan-Feb then all downhill since then. Strange. I had some huge windfalls back then. All gone now.

In round numbers, last Jan and Feb I hit for 10,000, 17,000, 4,000, several 2,000 and 1,000 hits as well. Then for the most part, all downhill since then. Hoping these last 3 trips will continue on that pattern to the plus side.

Discipline failure trip last night. Quarters for 6 hours. No Royals, but finally got even hitting quad deuces on one line of 3 on the Martingale Clone. Went from negative 500 to even on a one line hit. Foolishly switched to dollars and left a negative 700 buck loser in 2 hours. Just can’t seem to muster those big dollar hand pays like last Jan/ Feb.

Oh no. We feel so emboldened and entitled after a big hit. Suffering, drudgery, misery and terror will finally pay off with a four figure win trip. All that usually happens is a bust. I doubt that it’s even possible to play at an break even rate afterwards no matter where you sit. The house always wins karma clobbers you yet again.
