A couple of good ones!

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Seas can be REALLY rough when that good time to quit was an hour ago.
Seriously, for the league that BD played in,with paytables,points, cash back and other comps giving a
2%+ advantage as a "starting strategy",ending strategy would only come into play the morning you didn't wake up. Or when the "Starting Strategy" no longer exists.
You are overestimating the conditions I play with.

There were regularly good games with a 1% advantage 20+ years ago. Today, I play mostly with about a quarter percent advantage. When i find better games (for decent stakes) I play them, of course. But they don't often exist that I know about.
I stand corrected. Thanks BD very enlightening post. My .2-.4% on 9/6 JOB seems a little better thanks again. :up:

2 pics from last night, but not enough to overcome lengthy cold cycles.

Olds, I'll send some of our record breaking heat to overcome those cold spells. In the meantime, congrats on the RFs and hopefully they and other quality hands will come more frequently. BTW, I went to the casino last night. Came home down $40. Thus far, I have gone 8 times since they have reopened and cumulatively am $56 in the red. As far as I am concerned, at $7 per session, the cost is well worth it.

Olds, congratulations on the hits and RF. Your post has given me a break from the Weather Channel.

Stay safe Larry. I know Houston is not in the direct path but flooding is always a possibility.

As far as the Royal goes, had it been a real one instead of with the joker, it would’ve been 4000 bucks instead of 500. I would have played very conservatively if at all the rest of the evening. When the wild royal hit, I was ahead exactly $11. Hindsight of course it is 2020. Even though I switched back to quarters and my bets never got over 2 bucks a hand, the machines were so cold the next five or six hours it busted my bank roll of 600+ another 200 I. should not have let them have. This is the world of video poker. I want all of the newbies to see if they think this game is easy they better think again.

Such depressingly pedestrian hits for you indeed. Two measly bucks max a hand?! You have somehow stooped to my paltry level. Don’t be so stubborn with the marathon session madness. Despite the lower wagers, you were still fleeced to the tune of over $100 per hour. You know what happens when you stay......you needed a convention intervention! :lol:

Heeeeeee. I need something. I’m going tonite with the scraps from Tuesday night. Mrs staying home. The room is already there. 6 HBO channels. See when I get there. Would have been on the road 4 hours ago, but severe storms are in the area. Two rare tornados hit earlier less than ten miles from home. One hit out in Long Island sound. I knew when the sky turned puke yellow, we were in trouble. Remember that since I was a kid. Dodged a bullet back in 1989. The trees were being uprooted as I drove along I 95 in the area of Branford. Many were split half way up as I was driving. So weird. It never went onto the paved highway, but followed it just off the edge. At the time I was driving a big heavy Oldsmobile wagon, but it would have been like a matchbox car to the tornado if it shifted just a bit.
