I would caution against fastplay in many casinos in recent years...Some will punish you.....for playing like a pro...for profit of 20-100bucks.....trying to beat the house!....break their bank!.......OH NO!, says the floor manager....Lean on the pro-wannabe!!!....hmmmm....playing quarter games below 100%.....hmmmm.....the industry has gotten so nano-centedly paranoid.....in recent years.

Well...the run good had to end at some point....
So I made the unfortunate decision tonight to change it up and go back to the 10/6 single line quarter DDB with slight progressive meter on it for the Royal. I took a bath on it tonight. When it runs hot, it's a great game. When it runs cold, it really blows. I played in two rounds. One with $350, the other with $300. First round at least hit a few quads but nothing good and eventual went to zero. Second round, not even a single quad. So -$650 for this one. Vp gods get some back.
Cheers

Played a long hard fought battle of full pay deuces tonight. But in the end, just couldn't get the deuces or royal and ended up -$300. Probably 6,000 hands more or less for this one...means I should of hit a deuce, but the machine just too damn stubborn. On to the next...
Cheers

That's a 96% return based on 6000 hands quarter play. The return without deuces and natural royal is 94.93% so you were better than the expected average. I usually do the calculations to make me feel better. The loss is expected. Hope you get two quad deuces next session.

Terrible trifecta. I can barely handle half of that loss. Speechless. My feces meal was two days ago; reluctant to return.

Well, just finished up another session of fpdw. Played about 2000 hands. I did fortunately hit the deuces and walked away up +$100. So we get a little back. Plus made a small sports bet two days ago on the angels to have something to watch during slow nights at work. Bet $25 on it and it won for $45 total. Well, took the $45 and pressed it on the dodgers tonight and also came thru for a total of $87.50. Not bad. So going to put some in the pocket and decide on another late baseball game to keep me entertained.
Cheers and go hit some quads!

Your closing rings so hollow for me. Quad is worth $31 to jobbers. Better than nothing, I guess.

The only win that generally isn't hollow in JoB is a Royal if you play medium to long sessions. The rest of the hands mostly just keep you afloat.

VP gods take some back this fpdw session as I couldn't get anything going really...-$280. Played approximately 3-3.5k hands. Not
Much else to say for this one. Can be a stubborn game sometimes. On to the next....

So the vp gods decide to make a partial payment back to me as we win +$100 for this session tonight.
Started with a different game, 9/6 .25c bonus poker deluxe with $300 and it almost took me until I started hitting quads. Cashed out of that +$50. Then went to fpdw and managed to hit the ducks and cashed out of that another +$50 for a total of +$100 for the night.
Until next time, hit something. Cheers.
