20K Royal

#1

After weeks (maybe months) of bad losing streak, I got a 20K royal myself
last night at Gold Coast on 8/5 Bonus. Interestingly, I normally don't play 8/5
Bonus, having had bad luck on it in the past.

Does it seem to anyone else that VP machines are giving fewer quads than
they used to? During GC session on 8/5 Bonus machine I got no quads in about an
hour - but did get a royal.

Today played about 3 hours on a single line VP machine at Palms and got 2
quads.

I know it is just the short term, but sessions like this seem to be
happening all the time to me lately. I remember playing in Atlantic City four years
ago where I usually got 2-3 quads per hour.

Congratulations on your RF !!!

re: quads - on most non wild card games, you are likely to get quads
about every 425 hands, so if you play fast, that would be 2 per hour ,
of course with good old randomness, it could be 4 in 10 min. or none
in 10 hours, when I play 10 plays or 50 plays, I sometimes track the
4oak from dealt trips, and I have been as much as 17 4oak's behind.
That really gets aggrevating, but then you might get 4 or 5 on one
play. I think the randomness keeps us coming back, most people
wouldnt play if you could go in and be guarenteed to loose exactly $8
per hour or win $8 per hour or whatever the EV should be for a
specific game.

Congratulations again
Jim

than they used to?

Hey Linda:

Okay, this is my doesn't-make-any-sense-but-sure-seems-like-it pet
peeve lately. I seem to be unable to convert trips to quads on any of
the JoB derivatives. I keep telling myself it's just my imagination,
but the quads are few and far between. Of course, I haven't bothered
to track exactly how many times it does (or doesn't) happen.

Congrats on the big Royal! I used to get excited when I hit them.
Now I feel more relief than anything.

It's not your imagination. Streaks of no quads from dealt trips can
get ugly. I just ended a streak on Double Bonus that got up to 87. It
gets to the point that I didn't even want to see dealt trips because
they just wouldn't connect.

Right now, my worst streak is dealt trip ACES on Double Double Bonus,
which stands at 28. One of these days those Aces will connect, and I
can only hope it is with a kicker.

================================

I have been practicing TEN PLAY 10/7DB on BDWP during the last
month. I have been adding about 24,000 hands per session. During
the 12 sessions I have played, over the last 3+ weeks, I have also
had a dearth of success in converting trips to quads. I have only
had 2 royals, on one line each. However, with the assumption that I
am playing .05 denom, at $2,50 per hand, I am still up over $2K, for
the play. Go figure!
