Re: [vpFREE] How to Jump Start a Bankroll the Mickey Crimm Way

 

Mickey: your method is interesting, intriguing....even somewhat exciting--especially for "working stiffs". But I doubt many players could duplicate such a feat. Instead, I've always highly advocated people save up the proper bankroll for the games they intend to play prior to embarking upon their vp journey. That's what strong, patient players do these days.

If I were a working stiff just getting into video poker and had little or no bankroll this is what I would do. I would allocate so much money per paycheck to video poker.

There are two. Two of the uprights on the south wall have 9/6 JOB and 8/6 BP.

[vpFREE] How to Jump Start a Bankroll the Mickey Crimm Way

 

Risk of Ruin calculations assume you don't have an outside source of replenishing your bankroll.

When I first started playing video poker I was severely underfunded but....I had a cash cow in the advantage slots. I was making about $200 a day off the slots. Did I wait until I had a swing resistent bankroll before throwing down on video poker. No, I didn't.

I allocated so much money per week to the FPDW at Gold River. This was in 97 and I got 1% CB on Thursdays and .6666% on Fridays. Those were the only days I played. When I hit my first royal the money went into my bankroll and I didn't change my routine. I continued to play the advantage slots most days of the week and only played video poker on Thursday and Fridays, allocating just so much money to it. Between the advantage slots and the royals it didn't take me long to gain a swing resistent bankroll.

If I were a working stiff just getting into video poker and had little or no bankroll this is what I would do. I would allocate so much money per paycheck to video poker. I would only play with an advantage. When the first royal comes off I will add the money to what bankroll I have. But I won't change the routine. I'll continue to allocate so much money per paycheck to video poker. Every time I hit a royal it goes into my bankroll. The routine will remain the same until I have a swing resistent bankroll. Trust me, if you do it like this it won't take you long to get there.

To me the three keys to successful gambling are knowledge, skill and disciple. The knowledge to figure out an advantage, the skill to exploit it, and the disciple to maintain the pace. A breakdown in any one of these areas will lead to failure.

Re: [vpFREE] Promotions - good or bad

 

I really need to learn more about the bankroll and how you use it.

[vpFREE] Re: Here's a question for you math inclined folks......

 

IF you don't make any play mistakes and IF you have the proper bankroll. At $10K coin in and perfect play, the minimum approximate Kelly bankroll is 29/.01 = 2900 bets = $3,625 at quarters. You could only push it to $20K if you had an infinite bankroll. Novice players need to be very careful with "point challenges", you can very quickly get in over your head. Casinos really shouldn't be pushing these to the general public, it's promoting irresponsible gambling.

My goal is to have $400 or $500 left for Tuesday, so I can go visit Aquarius for the 10/7 DB. You confirmed what I thought- I'll need to get lucky to reach the 1,000 points in $700 to $800 plus the FP. I'm willing to risk a little more on Monday because I find benefit in TR Diamond level, plus the bonus points.

Dunbar-

Since I bought my new computer last summer, I have been too cheap to download any training software, as I can't find my WinPoker CD ( I think I loaned it to a friend who never returned it). But I did use it for years- my play was over 98% accurate, with hold rate over 99.5%, because I mostly make the small mistakes (Damn penalty cards!). Who knows- because I kept the info over the long run, I may be even more accurate now. But I also assume that in a casino, with it's distractions, playing for an extended period of time, which I rarely have the time to do at home, etc., that my play will suffer. But I have learned much from this group, so I do appreciate the advice.

And this is why I still believe the Administrator needs to make himself available for election to the VP Hall of Fame!

Thanks again to everyone for their input- Lee.
