Quarter Player Has a Very Good Day!

[FloridaPhil]

I made my weeky trip to the Tampa Hard Rock this morning.  Started out playing single line DDB max coin quarters and hit a straight flush right away. An hour later I was up $250 so I switched to max coin dollars.  Within 5 minutes I drew this beauty straight up!  Only the second drawn Royal I have ever had.  Played $1s for another hour and hit two $800 quad aces and went home with $5,000 in my pocket.  Not bad for a $250 investment.

Congrats, but it was dealt, not drawn.

Correct. Haven't had many of these so far, so I'm not used to describing these hands. However, I do know how to spend the money.

The Tampa Hard Rock has Video Poker machines in both casinos and I play them all.  I like to move around until I find a machine that at least let's me hang in there for a while.  I know it's just mental but I have a hard time pumping money into a machine with nothing happening.  My daily budget is only $300, so I need to try to avoid those situations if I can.  Today, I played the new machines in the center of the main casino. I sat down and never moved the whole day.  Funny thing, the lady next to me was hitting also.  She got a 4 ace kicker while I was playing.  She said the words you never want to say “I just can't lose!".  I cringed a little when she said that, but right after that I got the Royal.  The last time I had a day anything like this was back in 2008.  I gave that money back playing dollars until it was gone.  I'm smarter now.  This should keep me in tokens for quite a while.
