Re: [vpFREE] Re: Fw: [vpFREE_Laughlin] Possible Short Visit End Of September

 

I was at the Aquarius around Christmas time.  They do have the best video poker in town.  The host irritated me, offering to comp my room and food, but when I got home, they still charged a couple nights to my credit card.  After a few emails I finally gave up, figure I would just boycott for a while.

Hi Patricia,  I was in Laughlin about three weeks ago, just in time to witness the EW/CB paybacks on BP decrease from 8/5 to 6/5 so I agree with your VP assessment.  I've never stayed at the Aquarius but from everything I've seen on their website their rooms look nice.   I'm guessing I'll stay there on my next visit this fall.

----------------------------------------------------------

Hi Bob,

 

I haven't been to Laughlin for several years.  The last time we visited we stayed at

the Edgewater and enjoyed playing the FPDW banks, despite the condition of the clunky old coin-droppers which contained the game.  We also lost and LOST at this positive game, even though we popped the 4 ducks a few times.

 

We will stay at Aquarius in September, and I will try to post about the trip when we return.

 

Thanks to you and everyone else who responded, for public and private comments and assistance!

We have also taken Bob Dancer's video poker classes on various occasions,
and have certainly enjoyed those, as well. Why is it, though, that wherever
he goes, the machines worth playing seem to "magically" disappear? Now he is
giving classes at ST, and sadly, one of the venerable old progressive plays
is gone. There were only 6 machines, only three were worthwhile, but still!

[vpFREE] Re: Bob Dancer's LV Advisor Column - 5 JUL 2011

 

I think before Rodman, Sklansky had "The System" which he wrote about in his "Tournament Poker". The simpliest system is to go all in with pocket Aces if your stack is more than 10 Big Blinds, once the stack/blind ratio is under 10, go all in with any pair, any Ace suited, Ace-King, or suited connectors. Otherwise you fold. In Chen and Ankenman's "Mathematics of Poker", they print the mathematical solution to the jam or fold strategy (page 136) and suggest it is the optimal strategy for stack/blind under 10.

If you're talking about the three 9/6 JoB progressive machines you reported missing last Thursday, maybe you didn't see the reply saying they have been moved:

"The progressive bank that have three 9/6 JOB machines you are referring to has been moved downstairs. They are stuck away against the wall in a corner just before you get to Keno so you'll probably have to search a little to find them."

I don't see how they can limit the groupon to new members only when the groupon itself makes no such statement. If I were already a member and I purchased this groupon, I would damn sure argue this point. Since I am not a current member, I shouldn't have any problem but I think they will have to honor the groupon for anyone who made the purchase.
