Sling, that idiot can only show hatred for my winning ability whenever he discusses anything with anyone who takes the time to understand what I teach. He can't help himself, but it's all he has. And Alan can't seem to grasp the concept that some people just may have larger gambling bankrolls than whatever amount he can stomach potentially parting with. In other words, it's all about him, all the time. Just imagine what he conversely thinks of you as he plays $2 & $5 constantly while you play 5c thru quarters.
Anyway, back to the important stuff. Last night I did something I rarely do anymore--I played machines in one casino for almost four straight hours. Of course I went in with a goal, and based on my current crop of incredible luck I wasn't expecting to be there long. But not this time.
I went in with a plan to play alternating sessions with minimum $200 win goals of five-level 25c thru $5 RTT/ARTT strategies--playing up to 6 full sessions if needed, and quitting whenever I attained at least a minimum $1000 profit OVERALL. ARTT, with its soft profit cash-out routine, is well-known by now to those who have at least half a brain. RTT, OTOH, has variable approaches, and this time I chose to play BP/TDBP with a 50/50, 50/100, 100/100, 100/200, & 100/300 spread--and with NO soft profit cashing out....you keep playing until the $200 minimum win goal is achieved. In these cases where 25c is the lowest denomination and $5 is the highest, ARTT requires a $2000 session bankroll, while RTT requires $2900/session.
Things did not go well until the end. I lost $2900 on the first RTT session; I lost $1925 on the next ARTT session; I lost another $2900 on the following RTT session; and I lost $1870 on the next ARTT session. But on the next RTT session, I was down $1410 when the wonderful Royal Flush lined up for me. Ain't it grand?! So for my four hour grinding effort, where I did hit 3 quads but nothing special and always late enough on that they never quite got me there, I profited $8995 overall. Not a bad haul again, bit it's not my bag to be sitting at machines that long a time any more. I guess that's the down side of being the best vp player to ever play the game.

And the smartest reaction player too. I again left zero tips for anybody. Here's an assignment for Alan: Go back and add up the total of all my jackpots in this thread, then pretend it was YOU who hit them and calculate how much you would have SQUANDERED in tips for absolutely no reason at all to people who care nothing about you at all.
PS: Sorry about the crummy fuzzy picture this time. I always like them to be crystal clear in order to bug "eddie" as much as possible, but these fuzzies
could be construed as my giving him and his fellow dufus spock the opportunity to claim I "doctored" the picture or that I'm "hiding" something. ENJOY....both the picture and the PAIN!!
