The Mrs and I ran up last night for a couple of hours. That’s all I can do for now. I tanked 200. She I think missed a hold and caught a Royal. Pic attached. I think that being it’s an 8/5 game, maybe she DID though not on purpose make the correct hold. I didn’t factor in the ULT X strategy however. Most importantly, she got it and times 2!!!
Anyone feel free to chime in on the hold situation.

👍 Thanks Ted! I’ll tell her. She was quite excited to get it.

Sorry OMT, I just know it was 4 to a regular flush, but I don’t know what the other 2 cards were. I neglected to mention that above.

Congrats Mrs Olds. In normal DDB, holding those three to the royal instead of four to a regular flush, is the correct strategy.

She should have replied, “Hold my beer, loser!”

Tanking $200 would have been a relief today. I often ask myself why I undertake these extensive trips to suffer so much.

What does this spurious post have to do with Bizarro World, MS or anything else recently posted in this topic. If you are as careless with your VP play as you are in where you post, I can see why your results are apparently atrocious. My apologies Olds, but this really annoyed me.
