If you look carefully at the picture, you’ll see that Jean held all five cards, including the 9, which the machine would never do by itself. (It’s the correct thing to do, as discarding the 9 and drawing would serve no purpose and carries the risk of a machine malfunction.)

Did your machine lock up when you were dealt the deuces? Or did you have to hold them individually? Thanks for sharing your memories.

Thanks for the memories and the great books. Just a shame I never saw you in Vegas to get ’em autographed. Hope you and Brad, and the family are staying safe. Can’t wait for the next installment.

I got my Schedule C thrown back in my face by the IRS several times in the 90s and 2000s, because they didn’t want to believe that gambling could be a profitable activity and/or a person’s primary means of support.
