worst vpplayer ever

#1

I am on NCL Norweigan Pearl at the moment.? I will be posting a long report on it next week since I know a number of u have gotten NCL cruise certificates from Harrahs.

Fortunately for me I hit a royal on first day and still have $2500 of money which I have given to hubby so $ really will make it home with me!? On bad 8/5 DDB.? Paytables are bad here as u might imagine.

World's dumbest player sat next to me with boyfriend.? They discussed strategy a little playing JB and I tried to give a few tips for holding cards, like hold high cards, hold pairs, hold 4 straight - this after seeing girl hold JQK of different suits and throw away 10, then watched her ditch A to hold a 7 6 suited.?Next held a single 6.? Young lady didnt want any advice so I shut up til I saw her hold 23466 ---I said - that isnt a straight - you just held nothing.....

She replied -? "I'm just having fun!"? As she pumped another 5 quarters in.

"Just toss the coins up into the air and watch people come running for them..." that would be just as profitable, and lots of fun,"......[but of course I jjust thought that and didn't really reply.]

Worst player by far was witnessed by me at the Reno Tahoe airport, at the
Vista Bar, about a month and a half ago. She was playing deuces on the
horrible, horrible paytables, and she was dealt something like 7222J with no
straight flush. She held all 5.

"World's dumbest player sat next to me with boyfriend.? They discussed strategy a little playing JB and I tried to give a few tips .."

Why? Just let them have fun. They're on a cruise, they're gambling...who cares. And calling her the "world's dumbest player" is not necessary. It might bring up the question of how smart anyone on this list is to think they will certainly win in the long run even playing perfect strategy.

Heard a story a couple of days ago that a player in one of the high limit rooms in LV was playing $25 10/play and was dealt a flush with RF3. Yup, he tossed the flush and went for the royal. The result wasn't pretty but I guess he was having fun, too.

Who's the "world's dumbest player" in the scenario below?

A) The player (using very poor stragegy) who drops a couple quarters in a VP machine, likely for the first time on his/her life, while having a few minutes of fun in a casino on a cruise ship.

or

B) The player (using semi-optimal strategy) who sits and plays hundreds, if not thousands, of hands of $1 8/5 DDB on the cruise ship. This player then admits to having to give the spouse the winnings because of a lack of bankroll management ability.

The worst VP player/play I ever saw was at Sam's Town ( I think). A group of guys were playing 9/6 quarter DDB 10 play. I stuck my nosey head in and noticed he had about $400 in the machine and was playing max coins. I'm feeling kind of blue ,as I was on a losing streak, and settled close by to play some 10/7 quarter double bonus. A few minutes later I hear "ALRIGHT !!! " and lights go off and winner sounds. I left my seat to check out the commotion. Turns out the fella , when he went below $200 decided to switch to one coin at time, and a couple of hands later was dealt a Royal Flush. So what could have been a $10,000 pay day was now a pedestrian $625 hand pay ( the machine locked up for some bizarre reason ). His buddies were ribbing him for being a 'loser' and what could've , should've , would've. Strange as it seems, I was no longer blue, thinking that my losing streak was nothing compared to the pain that bone-head play would have given me. I was thinking that this would have made a great picture addition for VpFree, and was going to take the snapshot..but...No... did not want to risk upsetting the fellow anymore than he was.
