Congratulations. You’re more courageous than me, in both game and denomination. No risk it no biscuit.

The only reason I was willing to risk it was because I had a 2000 hit an HR earlier. My heart was definitely racing I'll be honest but at some point I had to try it I guess and this was as good a time as any🤣

Tired of the quarter play hits. The three coin dealt RF fiasco was the crowning failure. I’m fed up with my own cowering fear.

Remember the song though Stayin alive. I just gave back 3,000 the other night. Just made the clone progression too steep too fast. I was supposed to not increase my bet until I lost what 5 Aces would pay or 80 for one. I pushed it to upping the bets on a dollar game after losing just ten hands and then upping it again when another ten hands were lost etc. Before I knew it I was betting 30 bucks a hand. The 5 Aces, 4 deuces, or Royal never showed even after playing ten hours. Had I stuck to the rules, I would have lost at most 500 bucks. Still bad, but something I could recover from.

Given your prior hits, -$3,000 is indeed recoverable. But an astounding -$3,000 trip is a show stopper for most of us. But in general, I get your thinking. Go up at -$80. For me, this rule of thumb should be -$62, what a ten coin quad would pay. Either go up or end down. A small premium hand hit is but a minor consolation. In fact, it’s salt in the wound.
