Ya blocked the chance for a kicka (face card) by holding all five cards.

P.S. Nice hit on UX.
Everyone enjoys seeing these big wins, but congratulating someone for pushing a few buttons and seeing how a computer reacts? Get real.

I see these jackpots posted by Jason and it reminds me of the many big wins his dad used to post. Remember that cringeworthy video of Alan SINGING the jackpot jingle after hitting a high-limit royal at Caesar's?

I'm a little miffed at why these kinds of players post these things, when it's obvious knowledge that those big handpays last about as long as a bag of ice in your cooler. Most of these players simply can't resist the false confidence of "how easy it was hitting that big winner" as they rush into playing their piles of cash on even higher denominations. It is classic gaming-addict behavior.

You've all seen this clown Cerveza something pop in and out of here every 3 months or so with pictures of big wins, claiming "I haven't played a hand anywhere since my last big show-off win" which he began claiming after I shamed him for always blowing his winnings without admitting it. So WTF do you think players like Jason do after posting these things?

Alan was quite the character to me. He was your typical S.California very busy social butterfly, who simultaneously began every evening with sweaty palms while frantically thinking about being back at the machines in Vegas to give it another go. Why do you think he took so many last minute night time jaunts over I-15 in the middle of the night?

$2 royals...$5 royals...$25 royals...he seemed to have Caesar's number--or at least that's the way it APPEARED to be. But I knew better because I know how addicted vp players react to hitting big jackpots--just as casinos also know. HIGHER LIMITS HERE WE COME!

If you've ever read my articles, my books, my website, or saw or listened to me on TV or radio etc., you'd know I've always railed against players running to higher limit machines after hitting it big. Yes you MAY do it again and even bigger this time, but you overwhelmingly will not. But this wisdom does not stop problem gamblers.

I've always strongly advocated for vp players to go DOWN in denomination after hitting large winners. In fact, after I hit that large winner on $25UX at Circa a few years ago, I vowed to never again play higher than dollars--and I've stuck to that to this day. I refuse to someday go to my grave as a loser.

So while these large vp wins may mesmerize some of you who can never even begin to dream about playing at the levels some of these guys play at, think of how lucky you are not to have to go through the bad-ending roller coaster rides these players go through. And if you're a gambling realist, this is the Undeniable Truth.
