Re: How was your 1st Quarter of 2009?

Post by JIMDUECE`SWILD »

The only good trip I had in A.C. was 2 weeks ago. I was at the Borgata Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I like to play super bonus deuce`s wild where 5ofK pay 800 coins with 1 wild card. I hit the 5ofK w/1wild once on Friday, 4 times on Saturday, and 3 times on Sunday. Monday we check in at Harrah`s.  Monday night I saw that the Joker Poker 25¢ progressive was at $1,096. I sat down and 15 minutes later I got 2- 8`s and a joker and drew the other 2 8`s for 5ofk for $1,099.25. That`s the only excitement in my 1st quater. So I came home with a profit for this trip. but I`m still down for the 1st quarter.
Let`s hope the 2nd quarter will be better.
Good Luck Everyone

One winning trip and one losing one, and I am down a little overall as well. It probably doesn't make sense for me to measure by quarter since I only make it out a few times a year. I'm curious how our full-timers are doing so far.

OEJ: if you played according to the piano dude, you would be rich. If you played the way most play, you would be broke, (also according to the piano dude and his mentor.) Most here would agree though that your game totals will balance out according to the pay schedules. Dancer even says you'll have more losing sessions than winning ones but the winners will be bigger thus balancing out.

Have not heard from the bozo wizard and his so called student in awhile. Must be on their honeymoon.

The last couple of weeks have been kind. My wife hit 3 RFs to bring herself out of a hole (now +1000). She had not had one since Novermber. I have only had one RF since early December but have done well in spite of that. I am currently about 5500 ahead.

Speaking of the wizard, oej, with all of his nickel play this must be the first year ever where he hasn't met his win goal by the end of the first quarter.  An off-year, I guess.

I have had a very bad quarter.  No royals except here and then not during tournaments LOL!  I actually owe my wife $600!  Yes, I do repay!  I just have got to have some luck getting a hit or two.  I have had four to the royal probably forty times so far this year and yet to hit one--most of the time don't even hit the flush!
I am planning on going back Friday to play again.  Hopefully I will have a much better day.

I'm even for the first quarter. Erm... that is probably because I haven't been to a Casino yet this year.
