My Journey on Video Poker

[FAA]

I just know that I'll get addicted to DW once I hit a quad deuce. Just minor dabbling so far.

Come on FAA, scratch that itch.....

Quick session of triple play deuces tonight. Right away hit a quad deuce then dwindled rather quickly. Hit another quad deuce before sinking too far and decided to call it at +$217. Going home to walk the dog.

What the hell, Ted. Looks pretty damn simple. Bring $400, hit a quad deuce and go home. Likely to be ahead or even! Ain't it swell.

A session full of misses tonight on triple
Play quarter deuces. Started with a bankroll of $500, relatively quickly went down to a $100 and hovered around there for most of the session before finally catching the bust out. 3 flops of trip deuces and two flops of 4 to a Royal, but neither here nor there. So -$500 tonight. Overall since starting the game, -$109. That may be very close to expected ER for the game, but I haven't taken the time to do the analysis, and not going to. Suffice to say, losses are expected but need to be manageable long term.
On to the next,
Cheers

Tough session! Half a grand in their hands. The four to RF deals are the worst agony on misses. I had three to RF twice today. It was four to a flush both times. Of course you attempt RF and endure your lot.

Had some free time before work today so was able to get in a rare early session at the casino. Much busier than the usual grave time hours I play.
Decided to get off triple play this time and go back to single line fpdw.
If I got stuck, didn't want to go to work stuck because it's harder to go thru work knowing your stuck. Mind thing. At any rate, we get a little back from the vp gods thanks to a quad deuce and walk out with +$250.
They showed mercy and it's on to the next.
Cheers

[quote=DAAnMAAn]Decided to get off triple play this time and go back to single line fpdw.[/quote]Single line Deuces is much kinder on your wallet.  Quad deuces can sometimes be hard to come by and $500 can disappear quickly at three hands at a time.  If you want to play for any length of time, you need to pay attention to your losses.   Otherwise, hitting the ATM becomes a problem.  Some players don't care because they only play when they have the advantage and believe math will make them winners. To them it's all one continuous game.   I wish them luck.Recreational players must balance our desire to play for as long as we can with the money we brought, so single line is a better option.  We don't want to lose, but if it happens it's part of the game.What's funny to me is when you drive around the block three times to buy gas 5 cents a gallon cheaper then think nothing of dropping $500 or more in a slot machine.   Am I the only one who thinks about this stuff?

Long, Crazy night tonightGot off early tonight from work, mainly because I pulled a muscle in my right shoulder and it made it painful to deal. So had time for a long session, and it was a constant game of catch up tonight.First play was on 10/6 DDB .25c single line game. Played for a long time but ultimately lost the $400 roll. Just not enough quads and only one quad 3 with no kicker. Now on tilt, I decided to go ahead and take another $500 and take a shot to get even or ahead playing $2 single line bonus poker. After hitting one quad and a couple of full houses, flushes, and straights, was able to do just that and won back my $400 lost right on the nose. So then I took a short break, had a smoke and a drink, and decided against my better judgement to stretch my luck and play .25c Loose Deuce (100.14% ER) single line, put in $300, and in a semi-long session of it, lost that.On tilt again, I decided to take another $300 and play .50c single line 10/6 DDB and try to get back the $300...In relatively short order, did that hitting three quads, one quad 4's no kicker, and finished the crazy night up +$52 dollars.I don't recommend any of the above when you are only properly bankrolled for a certain denomination and only take pot shots off a percentage of a big win; however, sometimes mixing it up is fun coupled with liquid courage sprinkled with tilt powder. :)We survived this one and going to have to tone down the drinkage (drank unusually heavy tonight which may of added to poor decisions that luckily worked out). But alas, it's neither here or there. On to the next!Cheers
