My Journey on Video Poker

[Carcounter]

Great day Dan. Days like that you remember. Once years ago I went down to Ballys AC with a $400 bankroll hoping to make it last the afternoon.. Started on the 8/5 triple play BP progressives and hit a $1,180 royal on the middle line within a half hour. Figured OK, now I have the bankroll to go to Borgata and play $1.00 9/6 JOB. Yep, hit a 4k royal. Had about $250 left in credits and switched to 9/6 DDB Hit 4 aces with a kicker and 4 aces without a kicker. Went home up 8k from a $400 bankroll and felt invincible. Well the next 3 years  were all losing years, but that win alone got me a lot of playing time.

Nice story, Car. That's all we're doing, buying PT. We're giving it back sooner or later. It sure seems like VP is overall looser in LV.

Days like today remind us why we play video poker...too bad they don't come more often.

A big "amen" to that!

Yes I would say a very nice day Dan, congrats.

Felt bad about winning all that money yesterday so gave back a grand tonight...not really...but gave back the grand nevertheless.
Half on 5 play .25c bonus poker and half on 5 play .25c DDB. Run cold on this game and it doesn't take too long to do this. Maybe 45 minutes? Quick and brutal...It is what it is. Tomorrow is another day.
Cheers

So close to having a great month without that Grand Session hitting the books!

[DAAnMAAn]

Closed out the month with getting some of it back. .25c 10/6 DDB, hit the aces with kicker and cashed out up +$400.
Month in review coming up and on to December.
Cheers

***November in Review***Lot's of big sessions of wins and losses this month. Started the month with a royal, and sort of ended the month with a royal. The only two this month. Had a bad downswing this month that took away a great amount of the wins plus another day of minus $1k in no time at all on 5 play. But fortunately, had enough positive days to come out ahead this month, +$920.So I give this month a grade of B-. I met and surpassed my minimum goals of making +$600 or more a month doing this, but not by much. The downswing and big negative days prevented this month from being a B or better. So hopefully the vp gods are still in a giving mood in December. I'm taking vacation time and buying lot's of gifts so need some positive variance and wins for sure.Cheers and let's finish out this year strong.

Great reports Dan. Good thing we don't have 10/6 DDB in AC or some of us would be making more trips there.

But remember Dan that "big negative days" can be controled and that's where discipline and loss limiters come into play.

You've done a good job of not losing $1,000.00 the day after you came out $1,000.00 ahead and that's a mistake that some players make.
