Does anyone play the free poker games on this site
Hi, I don't get on this site very often and when I do I usually just read what everyone has to say. I was just wondering if anyone plays the poker games on here. They seem rather easy to hit big hands on here. I know they are just for fun, so this site probably lets you hit more stuff. I win everytime I play these games. I was hoping they were closer to how the games play in the casinos. I wish the ones in the casinos were this easy to hit on. Does anyone else notice how easy it is to hit or am I just really lucky here?

I haven't seen any difference between the play here over time and playing for real in a casino. Sounds like you're having a good run here - you should be saving those nice hits for the casino!

Before you guys jump all over me, I want to tell you that I am not Fa La La La La.... La la la la. I'm just a guy that lives in Vegas. Yes I have met Fa La La La La.... La la la la a few times and have played his systems with him present. I have never had any real success with his systems, so I'm not trying to promote anything he says right now.
The reason I was asking about the games on here is because I took what Fa La La La La.... La la la la says and I sort of came up with my own little system. When I have played it here, like I said before I have hit everytime. I have played 57 times and have hit everytime. But when I try it for real in the casino it doesn't work nearly as well. I struggle to stay even just like when I was playing Singers systems. Thats why I was thinking the games on here are way easier.

Real quick let me see if I can explain this so everyone can understand. First, In Rob's systems he usually plays around 400 credits each denomination, so when I tried that, there were alot of times that I would hit a 4 of a kind but it wouldn't be enough to get back even and I would eventually get ground down until I was out of credits and lose. So I started thinking about this.
I play a 5 denomination machine sort of like he does. The best is .25 - $5 or higher if you have that kind of money. I play .5 - $1 alot because I never have a big enough bankroll to stick with anything higher. I play 300 credits on the .25 level, 150 cr on .50 $1 $2, 200 cr on $5, thats 950 cr total. $1600 cash. I play until I hit any 4 of a kind, SF, RF or lose all my credits. I usually play DDBP because of the kicker hits, but if I just even the 5-k's for 250 credits, I will be ahead or if I hit at the end of a level, I will be down alittle but not anything that I cant overcome on other machines. Now if I hit 400 credits or higher no matter where I'm at, I will always be ahead. Now when I don't hit any of those hands and lose the whole thing is when I get killed.
Like I said earlier, on here I have hit a 4 of a kind 57 times in a row and it seems like my system works, but when I try it in the casino, I tend to lose more often. I also play the same machine the whole way through. Fa La La La La.... La la la la says its ok to switch machines, but I don't like that because I feel like I'm just splitting up my credits between 2 machines then. If I play the whole way through, I probably play about 600 - 700 hands, I think you are suppose to hit a 4 of a kind every 420 hands or so. so in theory I should hit every time. On here I do, but for real I sure don't.

The casino is reaaly the only place that matters.
Did he tell you how to detect hot and cold machines?
Did he show you the special plays?

I have learned a lot about the Fa La La La La.... La la la la situation since I have been here a while and was here when he was here.
I think almost everyone agrees that a progression can win most of the time. That is true on any game, not just video poker. So you are off to a good start there if your bankroll can sustain it.
You could win a high percentage of the time on roulette too with a progression if you had the bankroll, but that isn't to say you would win a lot of money (although the opportunity is always there of course). The catch is that you often end up needing a big win just to win a little from where you started, and in some cases the machine can't go high enough to allow the progression to continue. The few times you lose out completely can offset the many times you win and the risk of great loss in a short time is much higher than steady bets at a lower denomination. I'm not sure your odds of winning a good sum of money are any better unless you increase your bets more which also opens up your risk a lot.
That isn't the part of Fa La La La La.... La la la la's strategy that most people here disagree with. It is mostly his deviation from mathematical plays and any claims of increasing your odds beyond the mathematical play.
He calls you stupid for making the play that the average person will win the most on and says you could have won a lot more by making a more risky play. He never acknowledges the higher percentage of people that will LOSE more making that play. That is the problem. He claims that every session is different and that your play isn't all one big long session. That is true from a progression sense but not in the cards you will get. The math does not lie and your odds on a hand are always the same and the averages over time will be the same whether you play a lot of small sessions or one long one. You can win more in a single session by making risky plays, with a higher risk of losing. But if you look at 1,000 people that play (or 1,000 of your own individual sessions) that risky play will lead the average into a bigger hole than the mathematical best play. So to say there is a better play than the mathematical best one is silly, because it might apply to the few lucky people at the top of the curve but the majority of people will find less success than if they had made the right play.
Me? I will play some sort of progression too but I do not have the bankroll to make it go far. Odds are I will lose but I want a chance to win big. It's called a "gamble."
I like the method you mention but it's too big for me. I will come up with something at lower amounts, a good amount of risk, and save just enough money for the ride home.
