A couple of good ones!

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

I have devised yet another strategy. Hop over to a second casino after exhausting my patience with the two available full pays at my primary venue. A change of scenery shall surely revitalize me, if not my BR.

I hope you dont mind, but I'm gonna add these I scores. I like the back to back straight flushes.

Fun fact:

Odds to get back to back straight flushes like that above are the same as getting back to back quads while holding just a pair. 1 in 360.33....

It's just that you hold a pair more often than 3 consecutive suited cards where there are 3 ways to complete the straight flush. I can honestly say that this was a first for me.

If you play this game long enough, you'll see almost everything. A bit less than two years ago, my wife, playing triple line bonus poker at Main Street Station in Las Vegas, was dealt queen-jack-ten of hearts. On one hand, she drew the eight-nine of hearts for a straight flush, and on one of the other two, the ace-king of hearts for a royal.

Perfect strategy is to play nickel after two hours with a decent profit. No need to fritter it all away!

I used to do that a lot. Need to get back to it. Last night was a total disaster. Just stuck with Airport Deuces. They never hit. Of course no Royal. Only quarters too. Net. -900 bucks

Why stick with such a losing game all session?! I certainly did get exercise pounding the boardwalk on Saturday. 14,000 step day. BW massage joint back, if I need a break and want to avoid risk even more. My Cowardly Lion strategy is a break even dead end. But that’s invariably my destination!

Got em back a bit last night. Made up for the 900 buck disaster Sunday evening. Luckily the Martingale clone came through when

I needed it. Should be close to even again for the last week or so. Pics attached. Both hits were on Double Down Stud. Bonus Decces Wild.

That evens that. I am more encouraged than ever to casino hop. It gets me out of the Bally's boredom after ninety minutes or two hours. I just want to go with some glitz after that. The machines will eventually turn on me and I will bust. I cannot repeat that experience.
