He's a sometime player at Mohegan Sun, but he rarely martins, and doesn't often gale.

Speaking of which, has anyone heard from LL. Miss his family VP stories.
I have been wondering about LL as well. He hasn't visited the forum since October 2. Last time he had a long hiatus, he said he was busy. Hope he is ok.

First I heard from AP. Not Florida Phil.
While he has been bannrd from posting for a number of years, Phil would vperuse the forum from time to time. He also hasn't done that since last April. I had seen him post several times on the Facebook Group, VideoPoker.com Players Unite but he seems to have dropped out of that group. Hope he is okay as well.

Glad you broke the handpay-less streak. Olds. Hope more on the way shortly.

Thanks OTA. Hope all of our absent VP friends are OK. Florida Phil and the Mrs came to Mohegan a couple of times. They are really nice people. I never met LL but the Mrs and I feel like we have after our numerous chit chats about all different subjects on this site. I will close for now by saying stay safe and well. If we can keep that, we have everything!!

Lucky to land this.
Nice hit!

False modesty intact.

Question if I may. Do you post the whiffs? For example had the royal card landed in either of the inactive holes, would you have photographed it? Just trying to gauge the completeness of my perspective as a spectator.

Personally I don't recall having the precise scenario. I nearly always play 3 or more lines on Spin Poker. But here's one where I played 5 lines and (would have) hit the royal on line 9 (drawn in blue):

1-card hold! That could never happen on a fair RNG.

Thanks. I don’t photo the hits on lines I don’t have. Sometimes I play 2 or 3 lines, but if the deal line is really cold, the bankroll goes too fast. On a dollar game I rarely play more than 3 lines.
