Answer to your first question, how many hours in my 5 week, $115k run. I don't track my play by hours, haven't since early in my career. I track rounds played because that is what really matters. But if I had to guestimate hours, I play 25ish a week now. Played a little more back then, so maybe between 175 hours for the 5 weeks.
Now I will jump down to your last question. I have had 5 losing periods that lasted 5 months or longer, roughly 500 hours and rebounded to all-time highs. Not sure what your point is, but that is the answer. These swings in BOTh directions happen.
Now about your current run. Who said it was a miracle run. i didn't. It seems like a good run, above expectation, but within a couple standard deviations, so nothing miraculous. Good for you. I am sincerely happy for you. I don't know why you have this chip on your shoulder that everyone is against you, out to get you and wishing you do poorly. Must be a tough way to go through life.
As for the strip. I really don't play much. I do have 2 casinos in my rotation, not going to say what 2, one independent. One is part of one of the two big chains, but not one of their bigger properties. I just don't like those properties, or really going to the strip at all. Just going there is a hassle. The only time I really play the big boys on the strip is if I am playing on a Saturday night, maybe big fight night, or holiday weekend night, where I can play in the shadow of all the bigger betters and push my limits higher than normal, to $600, $800. It is a slow game with the crowded conditions, but I exchange that for higher limits that I can play. But even that, I just don't like those crowded conditions and all the drunks and pick pockets and scammers that come out at that time. Maybe 3 times a year I play a Saturday or holiday weekned like that. That is what I mean when I say I don't play the strip. Not on a regular basis.
One other consideration about the strip. One of the two big chains is a fairly big contributor to the databases. So any backoff, or heat at one of those properties can have consequences at some of the games in my regular rotation.
I am getting tired of you saying things like "you don't believe I have won shit" or "my whole carreer is fraudulent". You can belive whatever you want, it's not going to effect me. But then don't ask me shit and converse with me. And by the way, you don't really believe that, it is just part of your whole attitude thing, of which I have no idea what is about. Sounds like you are doing fine, so why this really nasty attitude towards me and everyone?
