Trip Report- Feb 14-15

#1

Played strictly BP, trying to win $5 per casino, using .25/$1/$5
machines as needed. Planned on hitting all 9 houses, but the sleet
and the large crowds & traffic put a stop to that.

Ballys: Very few vp machines here, actually had to wait for a
machine saturday night. Won $10 on 8/5 BP quarters and left. This
place is a dump. Too smoky, hardly any machines, buffet was barely
edible.

Fitzgeralds: Same as above, and didn't eat there because I know
from experience not to.

Grand: Had to play to dollars on 8/5 BP, walked with a $50 profit.
I like this place, very big, clean, clean air, nice selection of new
machines with multi-game-denomination.

Harrahs: Played a the same progression on 7/5 BP quarters and 8/5
BP dollars when needed. Highlights were: 4 queens on dollars, a
straight flush after going back to quarters, and many smaller wins.
Left with $140 profit.

Went back to Harrah's on Sunday to cash in my $30 coupon mailer
which I forgot to bring the previous day. Pocketed $5 never to be
used, played the remaining $25 trying to win $5 more on quarters
(100 credits). Hit 4 2's for a profit of $35, pocketed it and
played again on the original $25. Hit 4 Jacks, pocketed it and
played the $25 again, cashing out a few more small wins before
finally losing the $25, then left.

Overall win for about 1.5 hours of play over 2 days: $225.

Is this your normal playing strategy?

Do you use stop losses or have a maximun loss limit?

Do you use max EV strategy?

Well this was only the second time trying it. I'm
just now seriously getting into VP after years of
BJ. I never really payed much attention to the
inventory at the Tunica places in the past, hence the original plan
to go around to each one. The weather and crowds became
a factor though.

In the future I do plan to jump up in stakes starting at dollars,
and incorporate the DB and DDB games after cycling through on BP.

Is this your normal playing strategy?

My loss limit would have been $1250, I brought exactly
enough for 2 cycles of the progression.

If you are asking about playing each hand,
I make most of the plays per basic strategy. I do
shoot for the aces and quads a lot though. I take
my time, and meticulously decide each hand. I'm not
interested in hands per hour or stuff like that.
