 Boops, I hope you'll be posting pictures of the real thing soon!

  WOAH! Ignore the rest of this post.  It seems the problem is something in my FIREFOX browser.  IE7 is working fine so you guys should be able to the see the images I've stored.Boops, I'm sorry but none of the images that I've saved for folks seem to be displaying here on the forum.  I've initiated contact with GoDaddy in an attempt to discover "why".  As soon as they get whatever's wrong with my account straightened out, I'll resume storing the images.I can continue storing them now and you can use the HYPERLINK button just to the left of the "insert image" icon at the top of the message composing window.  Folks will have to click on the hyper link to view the screen print, but unless someone else can host the images for now, that's the best I can do.I'm sorry for that.

 Does that mean I can visit  and see that toilet picture now?

 Does that mean I can visit  and see that toilet picture now?  Sure thing Ed.  But be advised that I take very few pictures of toilets!  I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm a politician!

Thanks Mike! I havent had anything really good lately but you  never know! Oh I just checked and mine is there! Go to the first post on this thread!I don't mind admitting that I'm not leaving many Jackpot scores here on the forum <LOL>  Not many in the casinos either, but I guess once every year is going to be my frequency of really good hands.  Hope not!!!!!But in reality, to get those jackpot hands more often, I suspect I'd have to play more than I do .  Even when I'm in the casino, I'm finding my time split about evenly between Blackjack and Video Poker.  It's a whole lot easier to find 99%+ Blackjack than it is to find 99%+ VP at my denomination.I was talking to someone lately about the correlation in denominations between BJ and VP.  It takes about the same bankroll to play $5 flat bet Blackjack as it does to play nickel VP.  To play Quarter VP, I would have to move up to $25 per hand Blackjack before getting into that ROR (Risk of Ruin or losing it all) territory.  And, with VP even with Positive Expectation games, you would lose it all more often because of variance.  I believe the variance on about the lowest VP is JOB at 19.6% and Blackjack is 10% or lower.

I think the variance Pick'em is around 15. I thought I read somewhere that BJ is closer to 6 but I can't remember the source right now.

I think the variance Pick'em is around 15. I thought I read somewhere that BJ is closer to 6 but I can't remember the source right now.I was being conservative with the V on BJ.  I think a lot depends on the accuracy of application of basic strategy and the table rules along with the number of decks being used and also whether or not you are bet ramping with Advantage Play. I too have heard 6% mentioned.

I have been fortunate my last three trips to hit some super times pays on quarters that resulted in WG's...nothing huge like some of you talk about but the $1300-$3300 range...big by my standards.  Yesterday though, without a multiplier, I hit a royal on one hand in DDB while only holding two and three hands later on DB was dealt three aces and all three lines filled in.  I've never had anything like that happen before.  So without losing anything to taxes, I was able to walk out up $1600!!  Definitely a victory.
 
No paytables or perfect pay entered into those hands....sometimes the machines are just hitting.  Keep the faith everyone.
