Started with $300 tonight on fpdw .25c single line. Went down to $50 reasonably quick, went up a bit, then hit the deuces.
Played about 49 more minutes and decided to call it up +$69. Total time was about 2 hours. Headed home to chill out. On to the next.
Cheers

I'll have to try it. Dan is doing okay, and you are raking it in! Now that I found a comfortable casino that actually lets me play, I think that I can afford this experiment. Tired of plateauing with a $31 quad. I could have milked the machine for so much more just about every time.
Notable that he won $20 after the quad deuce. I was expecting a slight give back at least.

Congrats Dan, there's nothing wrong with stringing together a bunch of small wins.

FAA do you not play Deuces Wild now? If no; I'm surprised at that and you might want to give the game a try.

No, and my fear is irrational at this point. Their records make it seem like a winning session is a state mandate.

If you played $20 at a time and moved to 50 cent play at $40, I'll bet you would have won $500 instead of $250 And, if he didn't hit the deuces, he would have lost the $40 twice as fast.

But, since full pay deuces is not available in higher denominations, it's a moot point.

Point taken. But with the Phil Cash and Stash system, it's worth swinging for the fences. Just NEVER PLAY THE WHITE SLIPS.

Point taken. But with the Phil Cash and Stash system... I hate the use of the word "system" in this context. The word implies, to me at least, that there is some logical basis to it.

There are no guarantees to winning unfortunately,
Even with fpdw. But on the other hand, nothing wrong with stringing some wins together too :)
I cannot increase denomination on full pay deuces for fairly well known reasons.
Winning and losing, there is never one without the other!
Knock on wood, let's get some more W's!

All we can do is loss minimization, which I recommend.
