I'm pretty much in agreement until the last suggestion -- if you're
going to continue playing, do so at your standard bet. If you want to
keep on playing, KEEP ON playing with gusto.
A personal anecdote: On the one occasion in which I hit 3 single line
RF's in a day, I had gone to bed after hitting twice earlier that
afternoon. I was restless and decided to give the machines one last
hour for the heck of it.
But, I wasn't interested in incurring much of a session loss in
finishing out the day (and trip), so I cut my denom in half. Of
course, I hit again after just 20 min.
It was a thrilling moment ... but, in hindsight, I still hear a voice
in my head calling, "PUSSY!" (If that raises objection, read it as
"fraidy-cat"
you the voice wasn't feminine)
- H.
(PS - I recognize that had I changed any action, it's unlikely I would
have hit the 3rd time ... also possible I'd have hit 3x more)
