I feel a dealt Royal coming

Waiting for superstitious folks showing up rejecting all what you guys said.

I stuck with DDS for several hours and it was cold. I was dealt 4 to the Royal twice but when the last card turned over , nothing. So I bailed out minus 500 bucks and defaulted to what was left of the bankroll to my usual quarter airport deuces game. Got lucky after an hour or two playing my Martingale clone game. Only held two deuces. Pic attached. Was happy to get my money back plus gas money.

Congratulations on breaking even. I would have inconsolably walked away -$500.

Thanks. Lucky bailouts the last two trips. Overdue for a nice jackpot again. Of course that means nothing. My Mrs has a birthday Saturday. Plan is to have a nice dinner at one of the two casinos, play a bit, maybe a show. Not sure about the show yet. In the past, both of us have been lucky on or just before our burthdays. Its almost like the RNGs know how to suck you in for another year. I think I have had a hand pay on or the night before my birthday at least ten years in a row including this year. The Mrs at least the last 3 years or so. That doesn’t put you ahead for the year, but if it is a marketing tactic, it works!!!

Over the years, I have one feeling that has worked. If I am playing draw poker and hit the pretty rare straight flush, a real Royal follows on the same machine during the same session. This has happened at least every other time over the years. I think I have posted before about that

lol bob,that was said by someone about exercise ! if I have an urge to exercise I lay down until the urge passes !!!
Correct! There is some debate about who said it first --- but no debate that that person was not me.

But it can be applied to video poker urges too and gets a laugh, so I continue to use it.

I can always tell when a quad is going to occur. It never fails. It is just an instinct that I possess. I'm not bragging --- it is probably genetic, not a skill that I've worked to achieve. I can go into a casino, and then suddenly, at some point, I can feel a quad coming. Never fails. It might be later in the session, or even a few days later, but it always happens! It is kind of a tingling feeling, sort of like a little alarm clock going off in my brain. "Here it comes!" And without fail, either in a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days later --- once it was almost a month later --- it happens! I don't know why it happens, but I feel so blessed!

The quad happens every 400 hands which is not a big number.

If you feel you can hit two pairs and then hit it, your feeling will be more realistic.

Thanks hophoofer! Actually, I can do the same thing about taking a leak. I can't explain it. It is just something I can do. I will start getting this feeling, sort of an awareness, you know. And then, bingo, sometime within the next few hours, sure enough, there I go, taking a leak in the bathroom! It's uncanny, I know, but again, I feel so blessed that the Lord bestowed this talent upon me!!
