I did have a few last night. Wasn't originally planning on it last night, but I figured "what the hell"...

Better luck on the next trip bj, thanks for sharing an honest story, at least you had a good time with friends/family.

Congrats Vman! It must have been an awesome feeling to win at denominations you are not usually accustomed to, but potshot wins (agreeing with Phil) are the way to go to extend the bankroll in an negative expectation game. 8/6 JoB or Bonus Dlx is as good as its gets with UX I hear.

Ultimate X at quarters at 3 lines is probably my limit if I consider moving away from single line play, it surprising to see it is available at 10 lines and $5 denomination.

Actually the best UX game is 9/6 DDB (99.7% to 99.8%), but neither of these games were that good. But if you stare at the picture a little closer, you might see why I wanted to put $50 and $75 at risk. This wasn't some betting progression scheme. The first pic I took was my very first hand of the day, and I had about $240 in my wallet.

Harrah's Joliet is one of the few places I have seen $5 period, and yeah, even more rare is $5 ten play. It would be a ridiculous miracle, but they could be on the hook for $2.4 million with the perfect set up.

Supposedly a friend of my g/f's dad hit a dealt flush followed by a dealt royal there at 3-line quarters for $30k last month. That would have been $2M for the $500/hand guy.
