Re: [vpFREE] Aria Database Update

I am currently at Aria and I am unable to find the $1/$2 BP 3/5/10 play
outside high limit. Either its gone or I am missing it. Can anyone
describe the exact location?

[vpFREE] Annie Duke definitely WILL appear on Gambling with an Edge

 


It was tough scheduling Annie Duke, but we taped her between 4 and 4:30 Wednesday afternoon and that tape will be plugged into the radiocast during our normal 7-8 p.m. Thursday timeslot on KLAV 1230AM in Las Vegas or anywhere at www.klav1230am.com

The interview discussed her new book, Decide to Play Great Poker, the Epic Poker League, Internet Poker, the advantage women have as poker players, and the biggest errors beginning poker players make.

The interview turned out very well. Tune in and hear it yourself. Also, you'll get to hear my new co-host, Richard W. Munchkin, and you'll be able to tell by the questions he asks that he really knows his stuff.

[vpFREE] Huck Seed's $600K royal

 

I took another look at the photo today and found it curious the machine
awarded fractional credits. I went back and looked at both of my progressive
royal hits and it did appear to round up to the nearest credit, which is how
I thought machines worked. I also always thought awarding fractional credits
was a huge no-no.

Am I being overly suspicious or does this seem weird to anyone else? The
only thing I can think of is that there is some sort of exception because
the denom is so large (specifically, carrying out a fraction to 3 decimal
places still awards an actual dollar amount that can be paid, which isn't
true at micro-denoms).

Here's a picture in case you didn't see it

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Bad Tidings from the Palms

I explained to you what programs/websites I was using and asked if there was
something Dancer's VPW covered or improved upon that these did not but you
just replied saying "it's not a corner you should cut" which I assumed
translated to "I don't know." That led me to believe that the variety of
free programs I was using covered everything essential that Dancer's VPW
did. I did use it for the trial period and while it was certainly much nicer
looking than older programs like Frugal Video Poker (now free) and the
various java applet simulators, it didn't have anything I couldn't get
elsewhere for free except some varieties I have no interest in (super x pay,
100-play, etc.).

I don't see how video poker software is going to help change the paytables
available to me. I can already learn any game I want with freely available
info if needed, I'm just not as interested in a trip due to all the news of
good machines being taken out. It just seems like things are snowballing and
any good machines are going to have lines/vultures/people I don't want to
deal with which pretty much kills my interest in a Vegas trip.

I still play VP every now and then, 99.92 FP 2PJW at Barona in San Diego,
but the idea of paying all that money in gas/hotels/food to play at
marginally better machines no longer seems worth it. I realized early on (my
first post to vpfree) that VP was something to file under recreation, so the
main draw of a Vegas trip was to get more play for my money. It's now
questionable whether that's the case.due to worsening pay tables, and I fail
to understand how purchasing some pricey software changes that. In fact, it
seems to make things worse if anything (60 bucks off my ER).

Before you do anything rash like quitting video poker, all I can advise you right now is to keep broadening your knowledge. If I recall, you posted here a month or so ago and I asked you what kind of software you used to practice with. If I am not confusing you with another poster, I believe you were "saving money" by using something free on the internet. I recommended that that was a corner you should not cut.

So, since then, have you bought any software like Dancer's VPW or another good one?

Re: [vpFREE] Bad Tidings from the Palms

Well, that's depressing. As someone who has never had the luxury of playing
positive EV anything, I'm starting to think that by the time I actually
finish planning my 2-week Vegas trip they will all be gone :(

You guys are probably right that the loss of VP players looking for AP won't
affect their bottom line negatively, but maybe not. With all of the negative
news lately, my interest in a Vegas trip is quickly waning. I guarantee they
would have taken more money from me than I got back with all the
food/lodging costs. I wonder how many other players there are like myself.

Born 10-15 years late I guess.

So what happened since the downgrades, Frank? Let me guess, no one played them? It's a sad day. I had such high hopes.

And let me further guess that somehow the suits still don't see the problem in the mirror? I'm very curious what their thinking is.

It's all very frightening. And don't forget inflation. I don't care what they say the inflation rate is, my pocket empties a lot faster than it used to.

Re: [vpFREE] XVP: Trip Report Las Vegas July/August 2011

 

Very nice trip report -thanks for posting. Yeah, I got tripped up by the
Palms and full pay point machines ( its not just deuces ). I had put in
about $18,000 VP, and about $150 in slots, and did the card swipe for
prizes. My VP action earned me a Shanghai pen and pencil set ( value about
$2 ) , but my Dummy slot action earned me the higher tier wallet. I asked
the boothling what gives ? He looked me up and said full pay usually does
not earn promo points.
best....Tom
