Since my last post

[roveer]

Been back a few times since my last post. Had a few train wrecks but managed to pull it back and end with a good month. Time to go back into my hole until I feel the force. Enjoy.

I never had that kind of luck playing STP for hours on this website, so it must feel good to be rewarded with real money!

Awesome hits and thanks for sharing! By any chance, are you in a good stance with Total Rewards? The last post you wrote about your dismay with them.

Wow roveer, some impressive hits. Good for you and may the force be with you.

well nice hits on the ones you posted......but since you state you had a few train wrecks prior to these big hits, and since you then state you managed to "pull it back", I am going to assume you either broke even or only lost a modest percentage, like 15% maybe, of your bankroll (whatever it is these days....I could not guess based on the game choice and denominations you are playing.)But the previous poster asks a good question.....WHAT CASINO was this?  Are you back with HArrahs and CET after the debacle you experienced with them earlier this year and their treatment of you and your wife?I am hoping against hope you made the jump to Borgata, because at these levels, they would treat you much better than CET ever will!!!!   Even Golden Nugget would be better....

The benefits of TR have been diminishing in the past year. This past trip I passed the 150k level to give me 7* for 2016. I no longer chase points like I did and don't get a lot of use out of the program. I do go and collect their crapgradet givaways but avoid the small stuff. The way I look at it, I'm being "charged" somehow for everything I collect so I only go for the things I need. It is nice having annual Vegas trips and I'm hoping to collect this years as well as next years.

Always wanting to know the financial details... So, I've pulled way back on the amount of real money I play with. It's now between 800-1600 per visit. Most of my losses (train wrecks) were pure profit. Hurts no less even when it's their money.

I managed to pull about 50% of the winnings from the pictures so as I said, it was a good month.

Yes, still at Harrah's. Haven't spoken to my host since March and have stayed a total of 1 night in their hotel this year. Much happier now that I'm playing my game not theirs.

STP is kind of like owning a cat. unlike a dog, where you can be excited and happy so see it and expect to have a lot of fun, STP needs to be treated with contempt, ignored. It's moody and condescending. Only when it is ready will it give up its bounty. If you treat it with respect and love it will just stare at you while it drains your wallet. Disrespect it and act like your wasting your time and would rather be at the dentist and your likely to see something happen. That's my take on STP. Even know I dislike cats (and we even have one), I seem to always come back to STP not matter how bad it treats me. That's gotta be some great fodder for the analyst's chair!!!

[/QUOTE]thanks for the reply, and especially the mature respectful tone.....I know at least one poster here who could learn a thing or three from reading and emulating how you post and express yourself.      Glad to hear you are in a healthier frame of mind regarding your video poker experiences.    Still disappointed though that you continue to patronize and support CET even if it is their "best" AC property ......Golden nugget has several 99+% tabletops of many denominations (up to 25 bucks per credit!)   They also have a lot of variety in their STP selections including that ridiculously high progressive (upper 80s last time I checked) so you should give them a look......I really think you'd enjoy the change of venue more than you can fathom at this juncture.....I know they'd treat you well at least in the beginning!
