FAA, in your final posted picture you cashed out over $600.00. What was your bankroll during this session? A bankroll of that size should allow a player to play max coin quarters for quite some time. Just wondering.

Torture Thursday. I lost my $25 Caesars table FP on a four to out. I won $10 on my $25 quarter JOB machine FP. Lots of shifting between that and dollar BP. I called it quits after a max quad. Resorts visit yielded a dealt max quad within five minutes. Back at Caesars, I hemorrhaged bankroll. Net Day: -$404. 200 TCs.

Too bad. I thought you swore off Resorts and tossed your card in a puddle?

Correct. I insisted on minimal disciplined play and it actually went well. I felt foolish getting a new card. I needed the long stroll. Maybe I should have stayed to dine there instead of the ensuing bloodbath awaiting me. As I review the post you referenced, I also failed to cut my trip budget by 40%.

Torture Thursday. I won my $25 Caesars table FP on a four point hit. I won $22 on my $25 machine FP. It got to $60 before the give back fiasco. Dollar BP was fine. I hit quad deuces, but returned $80. I switched machines and hit a quad within fifteen minutes. Unfortunately, I tried Resorts again and nearly busted in two hours. Threw away another card. Their VP is history, so help me. Net Day: -$250. 31 TCs.

Imagine playing max bet how much you would have lost. I'm not much on systems, I am a max bet player. I do understand someone on a small yearly bankroll that only plays a few days a month wanting to use a system. They work until they don't. I have a buddy that plays a system on JOB starting with max nickles and somehow works it up to max bet dollars. In the past 8 years with very little play on the $5 bet hit two 4k royals, he is way ahead on VP.

Turbulent Thursday. I won my $25 Caesars table FP on a seven. I won $20 on my quarter JOB FP. Mixing that and dollar BP led to -$172 net in a hundred minutes, despite three quarter quads. I resumed later for 3.5 hours of running in place, despite six more quads. Mercifully bailed out by my last hand, max quad threes. Q= $18. Net Day: -$163. 183 TCs.

More.

That’s a lotta quads. Not bad at all. I’ll take it

Looks good on paper or a screen, but I lost green. The joint was jumping, the machines were humming. But I wasn’t made whole, and got stuck with coal.
