A quickie....
Only had about an hour to play, but ended up deciding to leave in 40 minutes after hitting one quad Aces no kicker. Nothing else really. Up +46 and on to the next. Don't have much else to add except some days your the bug and some days your the windshield...and some days you manage to avoid any accident at all.

Yeah, take the $46 and run. DDB is notoriously difficult. You were only going to give it back in the subsequent twenty minutes in all likelihood. Excellent decision.

Another day, another aces with kicker
Started tonight with $300 session br on the usual 10/6 quarter single
Line DDB. Didn't think I was going to have much to write about, hitting not much then blamo, saved 3 aces and hit the 4th with a pretty deuce kicker. Two more quads later was up to around $730, decided to keep playing until if I dropped down to $600 or hit something and review the situation. Well, dropped down to $600 and called it a day. About an hour of play, up $+300 today, on to the next.
Cheers...btw, DDB not too difficult if one is hitting the aces...pun intended he he
Ps having issues uploading the pics. Will try later.

Sure beats losing, then hitting a quad to break even.

I play those 10-6 games a lot at Boulder Station. From nickel right up to dollar.

Aces with a kicker will usually save any gambling session.

Turbo shot session
Played for maybe 5 minutes, perhaps less. I was very tired after a long night at work and made the goal that the first quad or better hit that put me in the plus, I will stop. Sure enough, been in a straight flush tear lately and got one. Got one so quickly, maybe in the first 15 hands or so, decided to play a bit more but that went against the goal so ended it quickly up +50$.

I saw someone hit a SF on a machine I moved from. Great timing!

Stupid is as stupid does...
Went to the local casino today to pick up some food and had the brilliant idea of playing $1 9/6 JOB to get to $30 to pay for the meal. Not taking into consideration it was a much higher denomination and I had limited time. One or twice was up $20 dollars, but had to get to thr magic $30. Nope. Was a costly $-500 mistake. Learn from my mistakes and try not to repeat them. Luckily had some wins so I'm able to absorb it, but still was a cooler.

Assuming constant denomination, if Aces with a kicker wouldn't save my session, that's a sign that I've been playing too long!

What's the point of me even continuing on a machine once down $35? Even a max coin quad, the most realistic premium hand, won't bail me out!
