This is the reason why, we don't play VP for a living. We can take $1k and turn it into $10 within 2 weeks.
However, to learn how, it would take at least a year and cost another enough for us to retire very well for life !
I LOVE playing VP and all of the tips, advice from those of you who are pro's. the stories are the greatest ! Thanks to all of you.
I won a whopping $202 last night at the Palms..hehe. I put $120 (as is my usual amount to start) into a VPDW machine, played for 2 hours and thankfully, I went strictly by Jeans trainer that I play a lot and wound up at $322. I had gotten to $470 and decided when it got down to a $202 profit, to let go and walk away joyful, having had fun and grateful for you all in this group :-)....not to mention, a chance to show off an Amazing new outfit..lol !
Men, you may not really 'get' that last sentence but, believe me, it matters and for me just brings to the outside the way that I feel inside.
Mickey, I love your true life stories, feel free to email me some that you have written at any time !

It's not what I do, but the way I do it. It's not what I say, but the way I say it.

REPLY: The caption and text reminded me of two things.
(1) A story told by Ken Uston in one of his books. A hustler who hung out in the Jockey Club offered Uston slightly favorable proposition odds that he (the hustler) could call correctly (heads or tails) on a coin that Uston brought and flipped. The guy won so often that Uston stopped taking the bet. He never figured out how the guy did it. Anyone??
(2) The original "From where the sun now stands..." statement, attributed to Chief Joseph, though probably written or at least polished by a literate US Cavalry soldier. Whoever said/wrote it, it contains lessons for aging fighters, gamblers, and drinkers.
"I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Too-hul-hul-sote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are — perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
