Net Day Correction: +$566. The former was such a fun number to consider and it somehow stuck.
Congrats on a productive day.

Now if you could only net correct short coining.

Ditto!! You have a knack for hitting the big paying quads. Sometimes on the wrong game. Straight Flushes too.

Ditto about the wrong game. Also, like Ted said, too often not playing max coins. Nevertheless, Congrats on a successful trip.

Talk about left handed complements. Obviously, all I play is BP. I love the lower variance and premium quad opportunities. You all love dud hands and just holding Aces, which is your choice. Okay, I whiffed on the first premium. But the second was twice as important and I nailed it. The Haterade tastes plenty sweet on my end.

But what prompted you to be playing max coin in when you hit the aces?

As for dud hands? Well, they DO happen when playing BP as well.......

FAA….I was born left handed, so my compliments are always like that. Congrats! I think the gang is referring to all the years of Jack’s are better when we would see aces in quads two threes and four quads over and over again that you hit. I don’t play Jack’s or better much anymore about 99% of the time when I do I hit four deuces. You probably know by now deuces wild or bonus deuces wild is my usual go to game.

FWIW, I share your preference for bonus poker, as long as it's 8/5. And, if I can find it in multi line, even better, although that does increase the variance somewhat.

Yes, I was bummed when Mohegan removed 8/5 BP as an option about 15 years ago. Still remember getting 4 Aces five times in an hour once before they removed it.

And another, another FWIW, so was I. Ha!

I do some things right handed though. Last month I was flying for work and when the flight attendant brought me my meal, I asked her if she brought me a left handed fork. Went completely over her head.
