Doris, you have nerves of steel to play as much tdb as you do. I am just now getting to the point where the majority of my play is ddb. Used to play nothing but JOB. Last year I had a lot of royals playing job, but this year starting around March my royal hot streak seemed to come to a screeching halt. I think old's royalless streak rubbed off on me. I have had some success playing tdb here at videopoker.com but so far have not had the guts to give it a try at the casino. May give it a try next trip

    Congrats Doris on a nice and winning trip to boot. My wife had been killing TDB and DDB out here in Ct. at the nickel level, but with multipliers some hands were nearly big enough for hand pays. I haven't had much luck playing either myself, but have on Double Down Stud Bonus Deuces Wild. That game has bailed me out 3 times recently. I don't have pics to post either. Those touch screens drive me crazy. I love my old flip phone. Kinda reminds me of the old Star Trek days. I even keep fixing up my old car with roll up windows and no power steering. 297k mostly casino run miles on it now. Anyway, again great hits. I am finding out more and more myself that the only way to get ahead at some point in the trip is to play games with premium hands other than the Royal and hope to hit some before the day is over. Speaking of which, I too like Chatty seem to be on the start of a Royalless streak again. Best of health and luck in the future in that order of course.

Thanks for the info, especially the part about Ballys.   One thing I dislike about the strip today is that, even without the construction or work being done at various places and point, like what you mentioned at Ballys. it is now very difficult to wheel up and down the strip uninterrupted or obstructed, with the current layout and design......quite often you can wind up in either dead ends or in places you had no intention of visiting, except the "pathway" led you to that destination.....I miss the strip of 1996-97.....back then I could literally wheel from Excalibur/Luxor all the way down to the present Stratosphere!!!    Even when they were building New york and Monte Carlo, you could walk past the construction with the walkway they had back then!
