Re: My Journey on Video Poker
I've made the suggestion that frequent visits be curtailed to grow the bankroll which could also have the same positive
effect. I have a feeling that free play
draws the frequent visits. When one talks about being envious of hand pays they should realize that
their particular style of play, coupled with the denomination,
greatly reduces their chances of nailing a hand pay.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Apologies for thread hijack. FP is the inducement. CET puts out the cheese. Dumb decisions once inevitably gone. I simply must realize, as FP also preached, that a hand should only be a one or five coin wager. 2-4 can only produce an RF disaster, if it ever comes. My Jackson Pollock style has failed. Then, stay in my lane. Dollar destruction is literally not in the cards. I'll just do some out the door should I survive quarter play. Again, if I talk it out, I will hopefully adjust and not be so miserable. Thanks for your patience, men.

Quick session tonight. .25c 5 play deuces.
No deuces or Royal, but enough royals with deuce to escape up +$105.
On another note, my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her a new Tesla roadster, 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds. Fastest road car ever...unfortunately it’s $250 Grand. Lots of royals needed for that one. Oh well, will have to settle for those new shoes and ties.
Cheers!

Deuces here and deuces there...
Tonight was another quick one, since I had a busy night at work and was tired and already late for me (2:30 am ish). Started on the .25c 5 play deuces and rather quickly landed a quad deuce. Instead of keep grinding away decided to take the profit and play around a bit. Went to single line .50c nsud and was dropping down to almost even when low and behold, nailed another quad deuce for $500. So decided to play $1 job and broke even on that one. Then saw a buffalo gold machine on the way out, and landed a good hit and was up $99 dollars on that. So went to another buffalo game that had random jackpots on it, betting $6 a spin for more jackpots (what the heck, freeroll anyway). Landed a few minis but not enough and gave back the $100.
So all in all, +$500 for this one.
Cheers!

2 AM! I would have been a cadaver by then. Sounds like you had another good night. Those Buffalo machines are killers. One day you walk up and hit one for $1,000, then nothing for the next three months. Kind of like being run over by a herd of Buffalos.

The weather today is a Royal with slight tilt!
Started with a bankroll of $500 playing .25c 5 play deuces. Down about a hundred when we save three to a Royal and pop one on the second line! I decided to keep playing till I hit $1300 or $1500. I hit $1300 and cashed out up $800. Had some time so decided to play some .25c 5 play bonus poker wheel poker. Didn’t hit much, but the two quads I hit hit the wheel 500 quarters or $150. Kept me even and cashed out of that maybe up $5 bucks or something.
Then made the decision to try $1 single line jacks or better 9/6. I give back to the casino more than I cared to, -$300 on the game. No quads, lots of blanks.
So, we exit the doors this session up +$500. Got to be happy about that, but dollar jacks put me a little on tilt and made a great session into a good one. I’ll take a good one any day of the week.
Cheers!

The post-Royal run bad...
Sort of two sessions tonight. Played .25c 5 play deuces. In the first $500 nothing much happened and lost it pretty quickly. Unfortunate but expected to happen time to time on this game. I had $350 left and gave it another go. It was looking like I might recoup some or all of the loss, then the run bad came again. Hit two quad deuces in the second go around, not enough. We give back -$850 this go around which is nearly 90% of the profits this month. Still up $150 for the month, but this one stung like the 1k loss a few sessions ago. Like I said, some days your the bug and some days your the windshield. This time, the bug.
Cheers
P.S. in the second session flopped quad aces with the kicker. Would of been $2,500 on DDB, but on deuces it was $25. Salt in the wound for deuces players.

Dan, Why are you playing 5 hands of 98.91% return instead of 1 hand with a 100.76% return?

Wow, that's some self inflicted downgrade. I don't have easy access to multi hand 9/6 JOB. But how much worse would the 99.54% game be if I play five hands?
