A Trip to Bizarro World!

And a similar situation to wildman49s in the "Finally switching..." post! What are the chances (of completing the kicker hand for all three)?! onemoretry, can we agree?
I can't really find the hand you're referring to. Still, in my opinion, the likelihood of hitting three kicker hands in a row looks to be .0167,or about I in 60.

Another attempt at a partial salvage of the 2022 vp year. Very lucky with the clone, but strict discipline ruled the day as well. Hit something, cash out, and start over at the bottom level. I did tempt fate again on dollars, but it worked out after hours of grinding. Pics attached. My camera let me take two. Now it’s full again. Have to clear the history and web data, as well as reboot just to get two pics Looks like an Apple trip is needed. The Verizon store was clueless. I know, I know, bet six caused the hand pay, but that’s what the clone bet called for. I scaled my progression way back. No jumping to the next unit until there are losses of 10 times my current bet level.

Nice hits, thanks for the pics.

I probably don't understand your problem, but I sometimes run low on my Android phone. I bought an inexpensive SD card and rerouted camera storage to the SD. I may still run out of space for apps, but I can photograph my lunch from every possible angle, no problem.

Thanks. As to the phone, I have to take it to Apple. I guess this a common problem. I added up all the usage and it is only 8 gigs. I am supposed to have 32 in the phone. It is an older SE model. Buying 50 gigs of I cloud storage for a buck a month didn’t help. The problem is in the phone itself unless I have used all 32, but it is not showing. It says I have used 31.8 out of 32. I am not a tech geek by any means so who knows.

Here are the nice hits the Mrs had on the same trip. Somehow, she manages to do well even on 7/5 and 8/5 DDB Ultimate X machines. She does put in almost as many hours as I do, but good for her

Yuck.

I don't Apple, as you could probably tell from my bad advice. :oops:

If you get it fixed, I for one would enjoy expanded photo coverage to occasionally include food and/or hotel suites.

Ok. I can’t be responsible for anyone gaining weight after they view a photo and get hungry. Heee heee. I am on a diet myself. The first 12 pounds was easy. The rest is torture. The hotel suites are hit and miss. Just happened to get lucky this week. 3 night comped stay in a sky suite. Tomorrow night is the last night. One nice thing about being just an hour from the casino. If you have to run home to take care of stuff like yard work, shopping, other fix it jobs, it’s no big deal.
