I give free QQs lessons almost every week 😎

I can vouch for this, I've seen and heard Jeter tutoring clueless players who are just sitting down at a QQ machine are Harrah's who suddenly realize they are in over their heads and could ask him what to do...I've answered a few as well but not like jeter

Is there any likely possibility that this game will actually appear anywhere else besides a few Vegas properties?



The 9/6 DDB version will almost certainly be at South Point only. Only 5 casinos nationally bother to still offer this game that is about 10 years old. All those casinos are in Nevada.

I think I’ve told this story before a couple years ago. Woman sits down next to me and starts playing 100 hand DDB QQs for 1c. I notice she is totally clueless about what to hold and discard. Before I can say anything she is dealt 5,5,5 2,3, which pays $250. She throws the 2&3 away and hits the draw button as I’m telling her not to do that. She tells me to STFU and mind my own business she’s trying to get 4 oak and I’m an idiot. She drew 2 more 5s for $5. I went to the bathroom 🚽.

By any chance was her name Doris?    the blatant irrational hostility begs the question....


I've been the recipient of a few totally uncalled for diatribes and blasts of hostility for doing nothing more than saying hello and inquiring as to how the person has been doing playing....Most people though are at least cordial and a few are as nice and friendly as the other few are nasty and obnoxious.    Some people, who don't want to talk or interact at all, getit right by respectfully just saying, "I'm sorry but I'm really not interested in talking, ok?," To those I always reply no problem, I understand, they don't want any distractions while playing, I respect that, even though I just wanted to say hello and wasn't looking to blab at length.


But like jeter on at least three instances I was genuinely trying to help people making egregious mistakes costing big bucks!!! They all, with a very arrogant and belligerent tone told me to essentially go eff myself and mind my own business! In fairness, one person was three sheets to the wind, and one was a elderly guy who probably was old enough to vote for Calvin Coolidge and who was upset because the waitress kept passing him by without taking his order for another gin and tonic...he was probably worried he'd Kik the bucket before he got his drink, and didn't want my help with his pathetic attempt to play dream card multi line (he was only betting three coins a line but was b*tching that the dream card feature never activated! Well duh...he didn't like me telling he needed to get Max coin. " Oh bulls**t! What do you work for the casino!?!" He bellowed at me before I said have a nice day and wheeled away

For the last few weeks, I've been hitting one particular promo spread among a few casinos.
I'm going to guess well over 100 hours since Thanksgiving.
Never once, not a single time could I even tell you what game the person next to me was playing. Not if they played it well, just what they were playing.

Kudos on your concentration....others here might applaud your minding your own business.

Don't get the idea here that people like myself or others here go out of our way looking for people to "help" or interact with.... I guarantee you in my case I prefer to be left alone....maybe not to the extent certain individuals here who will literally "complain" to casino personel if they think someone is "staring" at them or simply wanting to watch them play a few hands....

Still sometimes it can't be helped or avoided.... I don't mind helping genuinely perplexed people, or the elderly or the disabled ( or even the odd boozer)...what goes around, generally comes back, albeit with germs.

Attacking me again DB?this time I think you broke the agreement made between you,ted and webman,and yes I am going to make a complaint and I can only hope this time webman shuts you down. If webman let’s you slide again I will go straight to action gaming.

Attack? Again? Violating an arrangement that has nothing to do with you? Nah, that's all a pretty thin stretch Doris....blackmailing webman, threatening to go to "the competition" if he doesn't do what you want, isn't going to help anyone either...and besides, even though I have done nothing wrong here, I would voluntarily self censor and self exclude AGAIN before forcing webman to do whatever it is you need to stay here....

I made an obvious joke, and I made it clear what the target and basis of said joke was....your hostility and disdain for me is well known, and I accept THAT, even if I don't understand it. Jokes aside, even now I hold no Ill will toward you.....in the interest of keeping peace I will avoid you like the plague, all reference to, all posting, any mention of your name, etc. Of course please know my door is always open to you if you ever want to bury the hatchet....

The agreement regarding DaBurglar and Tedlark only pertained to those particular members. As Tedlark did not post in this topic, I don't where that particular agreement has been violated. That doesn't mean there aren't other issues at play here. DaBurglar, you should have known such a comment would not be well received, though I also understand your frustration given you have tried to make amends only to be rebuffed.

While I'm not a fan of the fact that these arrangements are even necessary, it seems like a suitable plan for a similar arrangement between doris13 and DaBurglar, to simply avoid one another and not refer to each other or reply to one another in topics. If you are both interested in that and it would make your experience better, please send me a private message and we will handle it offline.

It seems we have gone a ways off topic from Bob Dancer classes now. Closing this topic following this post.
