That’s great you all had an enjoyable trip.

After not playing for a while, was it easy to remember NSUD strategy or were you a little rusty?

Hi Jean…I usually really enjoy your posts and updates and really look forward to them. This time I just feel really sad as you described Brad’s condition. I can’t help it as that is what stuck out to me this time. Not that I’m not interested in part #4 but the joy of this trip for you and family has lost it luster for me, sorry. My best to you both, Terry

Did you get any feel for the smaller denomination games at Cherokee? Going to VPfree
only list best games at a $5 level and upwards. We live within hours of the resort but don’t want to travel to find games in the same 8/5 pay as our local casinos.
Thanks for all your reports over the years. You have helped us greatly.

I REALLY like your response to the “did you win” question. There are trips I have gone on and won enough to pay the expenses of the trip and more. There are other times that I came back with less, but I stayed in great comped accommodations with food and bev credit. Friends of mine will spend a lot of money on golf clubs, lessons, greens fees, caddies, tips, etc while playing a game they enjoy. I choose to play a game I enjoy – Video Poker – with way fewer “expenses” that the golfer has. With VP, I have a chance to every so often come out ahead. So for those who question “did you win”, I say “mind your own business”!

Perhaps it would be instructive for you to explain how you turned a 99.73% game into a positive expectation play. What are Tier Credits actually worth? What is higher status worth? And yes, you’ll get offers for your play, but do you have any way to quantify that?

I’ve never seen any discussion, anywhere, of exactly what CET gives you for X amount of play. I’d like to know if it’s worthwhile to play at their non-Nevada properties.

Thanks Jean for that great trip report.
I’m glad that as a group, y’ all had a little fun that interested each of you.
I’m also glad to hear that Brad enjoyed the trip even though his poker interest had changed. Next time if you can will you give a quick covid report. We know that the south is a little relaxed in their casino covid behaviors than here in the North but we would like to think about traveling in the fall.
Your tier explanation and link is also an excellent learning tool. I think the 4 hours at your age is also great, no explanation needed!!!!

I do not receive tier credits for full pay machines.
