Last year, while I was playing a VP machine at the Sheraton in Tunica, MS a guy was playing next to me and every time he was dealt a hand of trips, he would sit there, close his eyes and count and then hit the draw button and I'm not kidding he got 9 out of 10 quads to come in. I was like, what is your system, or what are you doing, after his 9th quad came in ??? lol He told me whatever card he needed if it's a 5, he would count, one thousand one, one thousand two… up to one thousand five and then hit the button on the 5 count. Well I was laughing at him, but needless to say, I had not hit one quad vs his 9 that he had hit, so I was thinking, who is really laughing at who now ?
Everyone has them days when trying to get a quad is sometimes just so hard to do, or impossible to bring it in, especially on multi-hand. He said he also used that same technique when he was dealt 4 to the royal, you count the card in that you need, the king is a 13 count and the ace is a one count.
So guess what, I was dealt 4 to the royal and counted in the jack and got it !!!! I know it's pretty foolish, but when you have some system of hitting it, and when it does come in, you can pat yourself on the back I guess, and say like good job .... He said, if you have some system and do it the same all the time, you don't feel as bad as when you don't get it then, like it just wasn't meant to be there then period !
It's funny, because the friends that I have told this too and have tried it, are believers more than not, if this works or not. One time I counted in a string of 5 quads in a row, and then you think, dang this does WORK.
This guy was an engineer and so he was pretty educated and I thought, what the heck I'd give it a try, it couldn't hurt my bad play that I was having, and it did make the game more enjoyable while I was playing so badly. Funny how desperate times, sometimes calls, for desperate measures . . .
I can just see, everyone counting now !

Yes its all about millisecond timing... Take a drink, visualize the one card you need, see the card and the suit in your mind, manifest that card, relax and let half your breath out and push the button.... hows this working?
No Royals or Quad Deuces in August.... curses foiled again.
Wait I took 2 weeks off, there's still hope.
I wonder if Jean would loan me Brad for a few days?

Should I hit the draw key as fast as possible after I choose my keeper cards? Or should I say a small prayer and then hit the draw key? And what about those four to the royal or three aces draws? If I had hit the draw key a few seconds earlier or a few seconds later, might I have actually filled out those special hands?
