Vpnewbie if I hit quad aces on Aces and Faces at the $5 level I will probably cash out and go home. That's $2,000. Yes, there were those rare sessions when I hit quad aces again, but in those cases I kept playing because I already had big profits.

If you think cashing out and removing your card and then reinserting your card and depositing money again is going to "fool" the machine into thinking you are a new player at a new session... then forget it. I don't believe any of that crap.

But yes, I have had winning sessions where I hit early. In reality if I don't hit early it's not going to be a winning session -- because I am not going to sit there and keep putting money in the machine until I do hit. And I am not going to move up in denomination either hoping that I will make up previous losses.
