Yes, it does look like my thread got hijacked.

nerakil, I am surprised that there are any $10/tier games left in AC. Are you sure about that? You probably are correct, because you've been right about everything else like this, but I'm just curious when the last time you saw that game.

Also, can you explain the 99.64% JoB game in Tahoe? I didn't know that existed. (Though honestly I probably just would have stuck to 99.54% JoB anyway, at $1 5-pay, for variance sake.)

What about the 99.40%, $10/tier at Flamingo? Is that gone now?

To Alan: Running a few hands at a bad royal payout isn't awful, because the chance you will hit a royal in those few hands is so tiny. However, running thousands (or tens of thousands) of hands for less than max coinage is nothing short of idiotic. And I don't want to play $10/credit or more because the variance is way too high.

To Rob: I don't understand you. I gave your system moderate props earlier, recognizing that your strategies give the player a (small) chance to win in the long term, as opposed to grinding to a certain (but smaller) loss. But now you're saying that the huge payouts don't matter, and that it's just fine to take an 80% reduction in the biggest pay the machine has to offer? Huh?? That goes against everything else you've said here for years.
