I may have read somewhere that said statistics show a player is more likely to hit a royal needing two cards and not one. But, I may be wrong.

My understanding is that the most common route to a royal is, indeed, to be dealt three parts and draw the other two. This is because, while the likelihood of completing the royal with a one card draw to four parts is obviously significantly greater than drawing two cards to three parts, you will be dealt those three parts much, much, much, more often than being dealt four,.

The most annoying deal for me is the 3RF 4F scenario. It's so painfully common and you must throw away a great flush opportunity to chase the dream.

Thinking about LL. He last visited the forum in 10/2023. Left abruptly. No indication he was thinking of leaving. Hope i am wrong but it would appear something bad happened to him. Thoughts and prayers.olds442jetaway wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 6:16 amActually, good for LL and I hope he is OK as we don’t hear from him here anymore. Duke….great players, but inexperience and a lag in teamwork didn’t help.

After the game, I decided to forego the cold one and opt instead for some Matcha Green tea that I have been faithfully drinking for a month now. ( 2 cups a day ). Read up on the health benefits. It may all be in my head, but I feel 30 years younger. I combined it with some fantastic stuffed clams in the lounge before setting off for JOB trial 7 with the Clone. After 4 hours, I was another 150 ahead and packed it in about 4 AM. The only thing I played today besides the market in the morning was my 20 buck free play. I was able to turn that into another plus 50 before heading home. By the way FAA, same 400 buck bankroll. Hope for 5 more straight plus trips then I will feel semi confident posting the Clone details. Downside for most is it requires a machine that allows bets of up to 25 quarters. You can’t do it if the machine max is just five.
