Superb Saturday. I won $12 on $20 Tropicana JOB FP. Only 98%. The shuttle stopped at Harrah’s first, so I chose to stop by. I hit. $25 quad. Upset with the prize, within nineteen minutes I hit a second for $125 one seat over. They dealt me four sixes. Next was Ocean. I sat down after seeing the prior player with a $2,150 credit total. Within twenty minutes, my third quad was $125 max. I repaired to the usual lunch haunt to celebrate. My only problem was a lengthy shuttle wait later. Net Day: +$218. 46 TCs.

Now that is a good day. As you can tell from my recent posts, I gave up and hated to do it on job but when you have 8 straight sessions of up to 8 hours and you only hit one quad and at most 2 on a couple of sessions, it just begs a change. If I could hit job quads on schedule, that would be the only game I would play. I am so under Royaled and under quadded on job in millions of hands I can’t even recite the numbers. But anyway, that is a great day and good time for you. My next attempt at toying with fate will be tomorrow nite with the Mrs. we will both being playing 97 percent DDS games. I have to wonder..... why are the quarter 99.54 machines empty and the DDS ones always busy? So we play in the middle of the night

Sedate Saturday. I won $27 on $20 Tropicana JOB FP. On to Harrah’s. I hit an early $50 quad, then gave more than double back. I escaped +$45. Back at Tropicana, I chose to battle the 98% JOB. By the time I hit a quad, it was $75 and I was in extremis. Net Day: -$11. Fellow bar player dealt four Aces and a kicker. Glad I survived.

Sad Saturday. I won $2 on $20 Tropicana JOB FP. Harrah’s gave me a $75 quad after an hour; -$40 there. My big mistake was Bally’s. An hour plus of nonstop losing; -$260 there. I will not return. Net Day: -$340.

I hear you FAA. I am having the biggest struggle in years with JOB This year. Every session I seem to hit either zero or at most one quad. I am forced to abandon ship and play deuces wild or joker Kings with at best, mixed results.

Old's i have the opposite problem on JOB. Many sessions since June being over-quaded with not much in between. I do not keep records regularly but 3-4 times in the past month i have averaged around 225-250 hands between quads and still be close to even

What a strange game we play. All we can predict is that we cannot predict what will happen.

I had another minus three figure day yesterday at Tropicana. I attempted to play at Ocean. The two full pays were occupied by a regular and his girlfriend. I made periodic checks on availability in vain. After an hour of $10 per hand play, he hit an $8,000 RF! I was hopeful when I saw him rise and came over, but it was so she could take a photo. I was sick to my very core. To add insult to injury, later at Tropicana I tried my luck at a Mystery Play promo. The person ahead of me got $200! The person on the other kiosk $35. I got the minimum $15. My day from hell.
