Dear Ms.(?) lwluiki,

Consider yourself ENGAGED!!

My step-great granddaughter's Pink Elephant with purple "mohoks".....
(I'm assuming that mohoks are tusks......if not, TMI!) is shopping
for a ring at the local K-Mart! Being a stuffed elephant, his
resources are somewhat limited. He hopes that a brass plated ring
with a sparkly cubic Zirconia chip, will please you!

Just let me know if you're interested and I'll arrange an email
intro. Dumbo has a 1989 black and green Apple, which works only
occasionally (as does Dumbo....I hope this isn't a problem). So be
patient waiting for his response!

Best regards,
~Babe~

P.S. Can I be the Matron of Honor? Please? I'm going to try to
squeeze into my prom dress, just in case.

were "up to" and "when". Personally, I also play "up to" a trillion
dollars a hand (actually, I am a lowly 25c player).

I will also marry pink elephants with purple mohoks "when" I can
find them.

Thank you, Babe.

Dear Mr. FordSCKS (since I know how important it is to you, please
notice how carefully I spelled your name). Or, Mr. T.Roll, if you
prefer the usuage of your real handle. In response to the HUGE tip
that you tried to generously share with this stupid board, which
apparently went right over all of our idiotic heads, I have a huge
tip for you, as well; Troll some other forum.

Until you swam up, this was a friendly, helpful group of POLITE
posters. We shared amusing, interesting anecdotal happenings as

well

as factually accurate VP info related to Reno casinos.

Since you arrived on the scene, we have been informed of the
following:

(1) Part Timer (who has IMO, posted nothing but valuable and

accurate

information on this forum, "is sending senseless posts" and doesn't
know what he's talking about".

(2) We should avoid emulating Skip Hughes who was "bent out of

shape

about a $1.80/hr. VP opportunity".

(3) Mike Aclin failed to "tell people the 'whole story' regarding
the promotion about which he posted".

(4) King Fish is the "Village Idiot".

(5) Jelway 1997, in addition to spelling fordSCKS name wrong, "uses
flawed logic".

(6) Mickey Crimm (BTW, my favorite Runyonesque yarn spinner) posted
an "idiotic message" and "doesn't understand video BJ".

I expect that this post will cause Mr. T.Roll to surface again,
despite his promises to cease trying to "help us". I assure you

that

I will not respond to anything he writes, no matter how many times

he

calls me an idiot!

The only way to get rid of pesty trolls is NOT to feed them with

the

food they most crave.......ATTENTION.

~Babe~

If you had a complete grasp of the game, then you would realize why
this post is completely idoitic. I gave you (and everyone on this
board) a HUGE tip about this game and it went way over your head.

Your right Hockey, We're much better off taking the stance thats its us versus them, NOT us versus us.
Lets get back to sharing ways to beat slot clubs, Disclosing where the best games are, Trip reports, and analysis of Video poker ( not video blackjack, video keno, or video shuffle board ) !

Whether I surface or not is INDEPENDENT of what Babe thinks.

As Pogo stated before: We have met the enemy and he is us. The
problem is there isn't enough pickings out there in Reno because the
favorable video poker landscape has changed for the worse in recent
years. Right now, the two most lucrative forms of beating the casino
in video poker are welfare check hustling and loss rebates.

Lastly, after the video blackjack incident, I don't think people will
be disclosing where the best games are. Just my two cents.

Good luck.

The key phrase "up to $500" indicates you can't keep your finger off
the double up button. It's the only way you could get a wager up
that high. If you choose to use the double up feature found on some
machines to excess then you are doing two things:

1. You are taking a game with hardly any volatily and turning it
into one with volatily approaching that of video poker. It's not
necessary.

2. You are taking the shortest way possible to get the play
squashed. And you could be stuck big time when it get's squashed.
Have you ever seen the look on the faces of casino personnel when
they have to issue a W2G for one hand on a BJ machine. At first it
is a look of shock but when more W2Gs get issued it turns to a look
of "this is a real nuisance." They may not ever figure out that one
is working an overlay but will kill the play because it is bothersome
to them. This happened at Binion's right after Harrah's took over
and put on some lucrative promotions based on action. One player
insisted on doubling until he got a W2G. He got the play squashed
far earlier than it should have been.

The IGT BJ is very rare these days and in the past several years
plays with same day cashback have been extremely rare and didn't last
long. It's a no brainer as to why. Flat betting $20 a hand and
getting out 1100 betting decisions in an hour is a $22,000 wager.
Multiple that by .5% and you are running $110 an hour in cashback.
Just breaking even on the game is good enough, the cashback is the
win. But by using the double up you are creating unnecessary
volatility and attracting attention.

Thanks again Mike, even though they are advertising this promo pretty
well, it was nice to know about it before getting to Reno and planning
on playing it.

My wife and I both signed up and played the .10 spinpoker 8/5 Super
Aces. I figured that if we hit Aces we would most likely be up the
$200 and then go into conservative mode. I hit 2 sets in about 15
min. so I just went ahead and played 5 lines to see what happend. I
ended, up $270. Kelli was struggling most of the time and then
finally hit a set of aces and ended, up $210, so we cashed out $880
ahead for 1 hr and 7 minutes of play.... not to shabby.

Happy Royals all
Jim & Kelli

something like "sign up for a slot card and play for 1 hour, and
we'll match your loses up to $200 in free-play. Well, this is
certainly too good to pass up.

Your welcome, Jim! Glad you and Kelli made a big score! A great way to
start a trip!

Sorry, that is not correct. I have a question for mickeycrimm: Did
you ever play high-denomination video bj such that you were playing
AT LEAST $200 a hand (note you claimed you can play 1,100 hph)?

Have you ever seen the look on the faces of casino personnel when

they have to issue a W2G for one hand on a BJ machine.
  
For the record, I have never received a W2G from video blackjack as
of this post. That is why I play UP TO $500 a hand WHEN I can find
my machines. So, no I can't say I ever SEEN the look on the faces
of casino personnel with respect to the W2G. Can someone please
advise mickeycrimm to stop harping on W2G's.

Thank you.

PS When I check out a casino, I check every machine (that includes
scan the rules / paytables to playing the damn machines at different
coin-in*) in that casino with hopes I can add in to my play list.
Sometimes it takes a couple of hours, but it never takes more than 2
days. Mistakes do happen, and I find enough to continue my visits
to Reno. I highly doubt mickeycrimm et al surveys the machines to
such a detailed level.

* In the WMS video bj, some machines rounded up on BJ's on odd bets.
For a $1 wager on a dollar machine, that was an extra 2.3% edge so
the game returned 102.7%. Sweet.

[Mickey]

Nope. Never have. $20 a hand is the highest I have ever played.
Kerry Packer used to play $100,000 on every spot on the BJ table all
at the same time and of course that makes him a blackjack expert and
not you, right, because you have never done it.

No I've just been playing $20 a hand all winter running $150 comp
dollars an hour.

The hotels cost me 400-500 comp dollars a week. I never miss out on a
good pay-per-view movie. The slot club picks up the tab.

I spend about 40 comp dollars a day on meals. But every once and
awhile I go the $100 a plate route.

I would blow about 12 comp dollars a day on cigarettes but I'm hooked
on that damn Drum tobacco. It doesn't come prerolled. Come to think
of it, that tobacco is the only thing I spend my money on here.

The concert tickets run me 20 to 80 comp dollars depending on the
act.

Tommy Bahama clothes run about 250 comp dollars for a shirt and a
pair of pants.

I can tote all the top shelf booze out of the gift shop if I want to
but I usually just get a voucher for 100 or 200 comp dollars and go
catch the lounge act. Drinks for everyone, they're on me -except for
fordscks. He can buy his own. Nothing I like better than a good
drunk. I just don't like the next day.

There are about a dozen poker tournaments a week. $25-$60 buyins.
four to six tables. Of course I just go get a voucher for whatever
the buyin is.

Then there are the $100 Blackjack tournaments. Once a month.
Limited field. $15,000 prize money. I just go get a voucher for 100
comp dollars.

And don't forget the slot tournaments. Once a month. Limited
field. $15,000 in prize money. That's right, voucher baby!

Did I forget the Keno tournaments? Yes, I think I did. Anyways,
every 2 months. Limited field. $9,000 prize money. I go get a
voucher.

The spa and health club doesn't cost me any comp dollars. My card
level you see. They give it to me for free.

Oh, did I mention the limousine service and sporting events.

Golf and ski packages too.

All the above and the worlds worst poker players too. Life is good.

NOW!! I'm gonna give you one warning and one warning only.

DON'T TREAD ON ME!!

I will not tolerate your harrassment. I will not tolerate your
disrespectful email. Do it again and the next manly conversation
will be in person.
