At the risk of being tiresome, I'm stunned to report my 6th dealt RF ... To recount:

2 in 2001
2 in 2011
1 in Dec 2012
and now 1 in Jun 2013.

Since I estimate lifetime play of less than 3 million deals, I'm now running solidly ahead of expectation.

This hit proved to be every bit as memorable as my last dealt hit in December ($1 3-play):

Starting about a year ago, I dipped my toe in the waters of $5 single line play, and have been averaging about 2 hours of play a month. My first $5 RF today arrived with a bang, and came ahead of "expectation" (and with only relatively modest losses incurred to date).

Upon finishing out my session this morning (4+ hrs), I was very pleased to find that the entire win was intact.

- Harry

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Revel Bet

 

The Quiet Lion (Richard) wrote his blog assuming that Harrah's would be
reading it. It was very important to him that he be reinstated at Harrah's so
that he would be able to play in the WSOP. He enjoys VP, but LOVES live
poker!

I'm the forum administrator not the vpFREE2 database administrator,
but I'm curious what email address you sent your update to.

I always click on the "Send Us an Update" tab on vpFREE2 to report

[vpFREE] Green Valley Ranch Host: Dan Skinner

 

I received an email from a Green Valley Ranch host not listed in the database that Dan Skinner is no longer there. WOW! He's been our host since GVR opened, so probably this will be a big blow to many players. I tried to verify this by emailing Dan but did not receive a reply. He is/was way on top of things and not getting a response from him is very telling. Anyone know where Dan went?

RE: [vpFREE] Re: Oops! I did it again ...

 

Good thing you didn't do it tomorrow at the Revel. That would screw up your chances of getting a rebate!

Very clever of you to hit it a day or two early! Congrats!

Bob

What does Revel have (or still have) in multiline VP, denomination-wise? vpFREE2 doesn't list anything. Videopoker.com notes a number of multiline games at Revel, but omits game variants and denoms.

NOTI, there's a little more to this story in the link than just Richard Brodie's blog post of April 26, 2007. In the blog he doesn't appear to be that knowledgeable of video poker. I don't think he knew the difference between FPDW, NSUD or Ugly Ducks. All he did was request that they put a certain denom machine in, he was a deuce player, and got very lucky in the short term. He would have booked a win even on Ugly Ducks. But because he didn't return to play after they changed the paytable they undoubtedly figured him for a pro.

This comes from memory but it was in the poker forums at the time that a couple of months after the above event a poker player showed up at the WSOP and was told by Harrah's execs he was 86'd from all Harrah's properties for taking advantage of them on the $100 machine at Caesaar's. The 86'ing hit the poker forums and all the internet poker news sites. Probably because of the bad publicity they were garnering, Harrah's relented and allowed him to play the WSOP.

I couldn't remember the name of the poker player involved so I googled Richard Brodie, and sure enough, it was him.
