GREATEST COMEBACK EVER?

[djc32]

I don't know if the term "greatest comeback ever" applies to what happened to me, but it certainly was pretty good.

We have just returned from a lengthy casino jaunt.

We flew from Buffalo to Las Vegas on September 23. We stayed three nights at Main Street Station, moved to the M for three nights, rented a car and drove to Laughlin for a two night stay (to achieve the 7 star level), drove back to Vegas for three more nights at Main Street Station, and, finally three more nights at the M, before flying back to Buffalo on October 7. We completed the saga with two nights at Seneca before finally driving home yesterday.

As I mentioned in the "I was dealt a royal" thread, the first nine plus days were absolutely brutal. I had one good day (+$700 thanks to five sets of deuces), one very small win of $50, and eight days or so of hell. When we moved from Main Street Station to the M on Sunday for our last three Vegas nights, I was down $2775. My only thought, really, was to try and complete the trip without visiting an ATM.

Then, it turned completely around. On Sunday afternoon at the M, I hit a $1250 royal on the three line 25c progressive.

On Monday, as I've reported in the other thread, I was dealt a royal on the that same machine for $3228 (I incorrectly stated on the other thread it was $3224).

Tuesday, again on that same triple line progressive, I hit another royal for a bit over $1000.

Add in five sets of deuces over that same three days, and I was up about $5650 at the M for the three night stay.

Just for good measure, our two night stay at Seneca netted me two more royals on 50c five play 8/5 bonus poker machines. That's seven royals in six days!

And, my $2775 deficit had turned into a $5900 winning trip.

When you play this game, you just never know what's going to happen.


Congrats OMT! Sounds like a VP players ideal 2+ week vacation.

I'd definitely take that comeback! Great stuff!

I've never come back from being down 5 figures, but I've had a few where I was down in the high 4 figures and ended up ahead 5 figures.

I've hit a royal several times on my last hand...

Best comeback came this year on May 2. Played through all my bankroll and then the next day's without a good paying hand. We went to dinner and I ATM'd another $500 to play. When I came back all of the machines were taken but the one I had been playing had been held (unbeknownst to me) by the couple I had met before dinner who were learning to play VP. I thanked them as the wife got up to give me the machine I had been playing while she was sitting next to her husband.

I went back to 50 play DWB when a strong premonition came to me to immediately switch from DWB to DW and within a few hands I caught a dealt Royal on 50 hands nickels for $10K. I tipped the couple a $100 when I was paid.

Changing games didn't really matter, did it? A dealt royal is the same in either of those games.

Would it matter because each game might be at a different point in its thread?

greatest comeback ever...without question, the '85 Royals down 3 games to 1 in the ALCS to Toronto only to win that and then face the same challenge in the world series against the Cardinals...down 3 games to 1 and after denkinger's "call heard round the world" in game 6, the Royals capped off the greatest comeback ever with an 11-0 blanking of the redbirds in game7 by the 21yr old stallion, bret saberhagen...tyvm

Some say, "All of fate is based on the choices we make in life."

Premonitions have had profound impacts in my life:
Several years ago I changed lanes on a freeway curve from my normal inside fast lane to an outside lane only to have the driver behind me in the inside lane killed by a driver coming the wrong way around the curve just a few seconds later. Sweet C and I are alive because of a feeling. I don't argue with them, I accept them.
