Our guest this week is arguably the world’s best gin rummy player, Michael Sall. He is the author of “Gin Rummy: A Predator’s Guide.” We spoke to Michael back in December and thought he merited a return visit.

Looking at a 50-coin Penalty for the Straight F...
There is a version of 10-6 DDB that pays 200 for the straight flush rather than 250 and that change drops the return from 100.06% to 99.96%. Casinos which have a firm policy of never offering a game returning more than 100% sometimes have this game. I refer to the games as 10-6-50 and 10-6-40, […]

Waiting to Get Ripped Off

A Birthday Present That Keeps on Giving
I turned 74 years old in mid-February. Not a big deal. I have a birthday every year. But this time it turned out to be special in an unusual way. My Nevada Driver License expired on my birthday. Again, not a big deal. It always expires on a birthday, every three or four years. But […]
Southwest itinerary changes and Companion Fare ...
I have a trip booked for Las Vegas May 28th – June 2nd. The outbound fare was a little high at 13,698 points (about $205) and the inbound flight was a bargain at 2500 points (about $42). I get a lot of emails from Southwest and one advertised one of their many fare sales. I […]

A Lesson Relearned
Today we’ll have a personal anecdote about what happened to me recently. I’m not sure how widespread my situation is, but perhaps some of my readers will relate to it. I’ve been gambling at video poker since 1994. For the right promotion, I’ll go any time of the day or night. To make this work, […]
