Hey, everyone! I came in SECOND PLACE in the video poker tournament last
weekend at Venetian and won $5,000!
The Venetian has been using these awful, old VP machines for a long time.
They have a strange 'tournament' pay schedule (750 for RF, 500 for SF, 400
for 4 Aces, 300 for 4 face cards, 250 for other 4-of-a-kinds, 100 for FH,
etc.). So, getting a RF is not a guarantee that you won the tournament,
like some other tournament. I have the VP software, but I never bothered to
calculate the best strategy for this schedule because, playing only 320
hands per tournament, it seems like winning is more 'luck' than playing
perfect strategy. The good news is: I heard a rumour this weekend that the
Venetian will be getting new tournament VP machines very soon. Hopefully,
they will be the 'normal' pay schedules that we are used to.
I'm just curious....did any other vpFREE members participate in this
tournament? Maybe, I sat next to you and didn't know it!
BTW, while playing VP in the High Limit room this weekend, I accidentally
met a fellow vpFREE member, Sam. We chatted for a while and then he asked
if I was a member. This was the first time that I've ever run into a fellow
Group member. How often does this kind of thing happen to you all?
