The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

OMT and Mrs!!!! Better 🍀 I know you have the skills!!
In total, our "free trip" where we paid next to nothing for air fares, accommodations, and food cost us about $7000 - one of our worst trips, financially, in a long, long time.
I think you should give it one more try.

After a really bad trip many years ago, I walked into Mohegan Sun, then up to a machine in the VP area, and noticed that somebody never completed their hand. It was 4 to a Royal in Spades. I held the cards, hit deal and it connected. Great except for one thing. It was a .25 Short Coin. 😬. Oh well. It was a good Omen and the rest of the trip was great.

May I ask, how's your satisfaction with mail offers and comps?
We do not get mail offers, unless you mean email ones. All in all, I would say what we get is OK, but I'm not really wild about them.

I prefer email.

I've gotten some good stuff, but it's hard to maintain stable relationships. Often I start strong, but eventually they cut me to little or nothing. It's a particular hazard for discerning players who are unlikely to show much of a loss.

Also the operators are often schizo. They'll loosen up for a period, and then overcorrect when they realize some players are beating them.

For those reasons, I find it's often preferable to flirt with someone new, even if the apparent benefits aren't obviously superior.
