Thank you top member quad. Wait, those $10 dud hands preceding it were unfortunate. TT, I will try to maintain the Saturday routine. I regret not quitting while ahead at Caesars. But that is a mere footnote now.

BTW, now that you're big-time, no need to post the 3 credit $75 4OAK. It's beneath and behind you.

Like a tree, I never forget my roots. Two dollar play, btw, is beyond me in any event.

And yet you play it?

Sad Saturday. I won $18 on $20 Caesars FP. My first quad took an hour. The next was only twenty minutes later, but on quarter. At Harrah’s, I attempted two buck play to recoup. I busted after a $50 quad. ATM enabled a $200 BP quad. Back at Caesars, $75 and $25 quads. Six was not the fix. Net Day: -$224. Day should have been much worse. JOB Progressive $1,205.

Too bad FAA, you are finding out that the lure of playing higher denominations is heavy and more often than not take you to bottom quicker than hooking a trophy.

$20.00 in free play? Hmm...

Helter skelter? Screams (to me) consistent $0.50 max coin (Maybe 8/5 BP not available less than $1?). Somehow you made out better quad-wise than if you'd've done that though...

You left out the tier credits earned- not sure if you were fortunate or not...probably. Your distribution of quads was favorable. And two of them dealt no less. Yes, could've been worse.

Your $4K (or 750) royal is imminent...maybe.

When JOB hits $1,200, you play. I did tire quickly, given last week’s $400 hit. It did gift me two dealt quads. I expected -$220, and even that took an ATM trip which spared a -$444 net. RCs are more relevant than TCs now. In my net is a Borgata +$22. Bar play closed, and 9/6 took time to find. Placed a free kiosk NFL slate.

FAA, you say to play JOB when the meter hits $1,200.00 but when the meter was at $1,204 and change you were only betting 4 coins so hitting a royal would have been completely fruitless. Unless of course you were seeking a $250.00 royal instead of a $1,204 and change royal. At one point you were playing 2 coins at the $1.00 denomination.

Did you tire easily when playing the progressive and then move on? To higher denominations? When you play, what are you trying to accomplish? You seem to have no set goal when you play and playing how you do will not produce the results that you are picturing in your mind.

Four coin quad was on my very first hand just before leaving town. Saving a quarter, but it backfired. I also began small on Harrah’s dollar after Caesars fiasco. Basically, I hedge a lot hoping something big happens. I feel like my only options are max bet and likely flame out entirely or accept a handful of piecemeal quads. My TRs look like a tapas platter as a result.
