Gambling Topics

I don't play alot of VP. I do play alot of Ultimate texas Hold Em. I've hit a Royal on a 100 play machine at the Circus Circus. I was dealt a flush, four to the Royal. and asked one of the floor people how to play the hand. She said go for the Royal. I hit two Royals out of that hand. I've had two straight flushes, playing Ultimate.
The political threads are ruining this board. Its the same usual suspects starting them time and time again. There are plenty of others places on the internet to have your crappy political POV heard/read, take it there. This is a LAS VEGAS forum, not a Fox News or MSNBC echo chamber.
Gaming topic:
There are so many games I've never tried to learn!

Pai Gow,any VP other than 9/6,carribean Stud. I can't shift gears as easily to play BJ with no TENS in the deck! Espanol bente-uno.

I'm talking SKILL games,here.Roulette does not count,Nor do slots,Keno,bingo.

Good at craps and BJ.

Getting comps is a skill game.
Here's one for ya. RE: RF's. Few years back hit a quarter $3700+ progressive at South Point. One year later my wife hit a quarter $1700+ progressive. On the EXACT same machine as I hit a year earlier!
What are the odds ?
Had a few others over the years at different casinos (Riv, Tuscany, GC,), always on quarters. Never caught a dollar RF. Oops, not true. Filled one in over morning coffee one time....on a 2 bet. Grrrrr.

In response to the OP: this place went downhill some time back. And we all know what flows downhill. That's why I post here about once a year.

In response to the gambling topic: I have three royals, one at Orleans and two six weeks apart at El Cortez and Winstar in Oklahoma.
It seems to me that whoever is supposed to be moderating this place has just given up entirely.

Where are the Rules for the Forums?
I am looking around I can't find any.
No wonder everything is bedlam.

If they want to call it Free for All...fine..it is definitely THAT.
But take Vegas off of the title.
Because there is no Vegas here.
Anthony said a while back that for some reason most of the posters here like political talk. He stated he doesn't understand it but if that is the way we want it that is the way it will be.

When the political talk was banned there was absolutely no action here what so ever. You could go days and days without seeing any back and forth.

Lets face it many of us don't go to Vegas nearly as much as we used to, if at all, for many different reasons. There are just so many times you can discuss Video Poker, BJ etc. Also for many of us the "newness" of Las Vegas is long gone, there are too many other vacations that don't require basically an all day flight with a real hassle of the airlines just to get there. If I want to play double deck BJ I can drive 30 minutes now and get my fix. That wasn't the case in 1986.

Just let Anthony go back to Vegas only post on this thread and you will see more action watching paint dry.

As another poster stated if you are truly looking for Vegas talk try Trip Adviser, it is amazing how fast the pages fill up over there.

It's a real Catch 22. The reason for the reduced action was because many people had given up on the place, sick of all of the political bantering. I've conversed with dozens of people who have said this.

And really there are only 10 or so people who actively participate in the political one-upmanship.
Go ahead and post a political issue and see how many "look-E-loos" you get.

I'd like to post a title with a LOT of swear words in it.Then see what happens.

The moderators don't have to read this stuff,the "BOT" will not allow swear words,if they are spelled correctly.

What's so fun about Pai Gow?

Never tried to learn.

The casino edge varies, but averages about 2.8%. What's good about this game is that it results in lots of ties where no money changes hands. Consequently, your per-hour expected loss is probably less than it is on a crap table where the casino edge is only half as high. It's likely that casinos will soon install automatic shuffling machines on pai gow tables to speed the action and keep the game viable for them. Stanford Wong's Optimal Strategy for Pai Gow Poker is a must read if you want to learn the intricacies of this game.
Not gamblin related but I got me a whore for today for $300 in Nevada. She was blonde and about 25 years old. She must have liked it be the way she moaned & groaned. She started by giving me a blow and then finished missionary style. I tried to initially get it for $250, she wanted $500, we negotiated and ended up at $300. It was a happy ending, need I say more.
