I was playing 25¢ Ten Play 9/6 Jacks or Better at the Palms. For some promotions, it’s the best game at that casino to play. They have a strange rule at the Palms that the number of drawing tickets you earn is based on the lowest denomination games on the machine you are playing — […]

No Excuse
Shirley and I attended the Harrah’s Seven Star Event in Atlantic City about a month ago. They provided travel money, food money, gift cards, and various events to make the weekend interesting, and on Thursday they gave us a game in which we had a small edge.
Still Sticking with Video Poker?
I’m developing considerable knowledge and improving my skills at Texas Hold’em poker, and it’s primarily because I’m co-hosting Gambling with an Edge, a radio show on Thursday night.
Another Look at the Wizard’s Video Poker ...
I LOVE the free video poker strategy calculator you can find on the Wizard of Odds website: wizardofodds.com.
A Quick Quads Quiz
I just made up a quiz concerning 9/6 Double Double Bonus Quick Quads. Although the quiz won’t seem too difficult, I would have personally missed one of these questions earlier this year. If you’ve learned everything you know about Quick Quads from my writing, you’ll miss the same one.

What is your Nut?
I regularly listen to Daniel Negreanu’s weekly rants which I find on Cardplayer.com. I find them enjoyable. His April 25 rant inspired this column although Negreanu was talking about poker and this column is about video poker.
What a Waste and I Screwed Up
I have two different “half-topics” I want to discuss. Neither merits a full column, but maybe both of them together do.
Advice to New Advantage Players
Many of you know that my radio co-host for six months was Richard Munchkin. He writes interesting things for his website and a couple of months ago posted Advice to New Advantage Players. I liked his title so much I stole it! And I’m going to be referring back to what he wrote, so I […]
A Spa Suite on the NCL Epic
The last week in March, 2012, Shirley and I spent a week aboard the Norwegian Epic. This is the largest ship in the NCL line, although there are at least two larger ships on other cruise lines. With 4,000 passengers and a crew of 2,000, it is a floating city.
