Congrats, Phil. I just got back today from a 5-night stay @ The Beau, but I was totally blanked on VP this trip. No RFs and no kickers on quad Aces or TTFs. A little bit of profit on table games, and a couple of hand pays on slots, but it was a losing gaming trip overall for me.  
 
I had a great time, though. The Beau Rivage is a very nice place. I played in a fun slot event, saw two shows, played two rounds of golf in BEAUTIFUL weather, a couple of great dinners, and I enjoyed two massages during spa time. Nice to have it all comped, including the airplane ride.     
 
Wishing you continued good fortune, and best of luck with your Money Management approach.

FloridaPhilThanks for sharing your betting strategy with us.  I am assuming that you are playing single hand  games.  What would happen if you were to play three hands per deal?  Would you change your system from $20 to $60.  When your credits double and you switch games, is there some logic to playing DDB rather than TDB?Thanks.

I only play single line games.  I've tried three line games a few times, but my money goes away too fast if I'm losing.   I didn't get another Royal, but found the Palace and the new Margaritaville casino.   The Beau gave us an end room on the 25th floor this time.  What a nice room!  Windows all around and the view was spectacular.  Best three day gambling trip we've had so far.  The wife was very happy and that's a good thing...

Congrats Phil.

Glad you had a great trip. Sometimes there are better ways to eat turkey and dressing than fixing it yourself.

We quit the turkey thing a few years ago.  It's a lot of work for 15 minutes of eating.  The family gets together for Christmas and we take them all out to dinner.  Much better...
