Roveer's return...
Been staying away for a while. Too many losing streaks, time for a break. So this weekend Harrah's offered me 10x rewards points plus a boatload of freeplay so i decided to stop down for some R&R. Here's what happened.

Gotta luv the Royal. Hold an Ace, get a royal. Why oh why wasn't I playing dollars? I know, bankroll...
I met a guy this weekend that likes to play STP and I was telling him that I've never had a dealt royal in what must be at this point, millions of hands of VP. I was saying that I'll probably get one when I'm sitting at a nickel machine. He pulled out his phone and showed me a picture of 10 handed STP dealt royal on you guessed it, nickels. He's usually a high denom player and told me he was totally devastated. It's the nightmare hand as far as I'm concerned.

The one pic there that I thought must have hurt was the 8X $1, dealt trip 4's, and not one quad.
Some great hits, though..

Yes, that definitely hurt. I was happy to see a hand pay, but when I looked at it again, I was thinking, now that could have been some coin. have to shrug it off.
Saw literally dozens of pairs of aces and only on 1 or 2 occasions did anything happen, and only without the kicker. most of the time I was lucky to get even money. Some trips are just like that.

Yeah - and I counted 5 of the ten hands had a kicker, but no fourth 4.

I was thinking the same thing with the trip 4s and no quad pulled. Only thing I'll add is that pulling the royal only holding an ace with a 4x kind of makes up for it.

Also don't overlook the trip kings at $1.00 denomination and a 10X multiplier showing, too bad the 4th king couldn't fall for you there either roveer. Great hits anyway you look at them, congrats.

Nice hits. Glad to see you back and posting. I have taken such a beating I am on a very long break.
