[vpFREE] Re: I Need Help with my VP Playing Style

 

Bob,

Most of the time speed is not important unless you are in a vp tournament or you have a timelimit to earn entries for a drawing or promotion. Do you actually have an edge at your local casino? Is your playing time limited?

I would start by using the left hand on the hold button and the right on the draw button and see what kind of speed you can reach without making errors. You should surpass your old playing speed in a short time. You can go faster by using your right hand on the 1 or 2 closest hold buttons, but some are not comfortable with this at high speed.

Good luck!

Chris

My untested belief based on a small sample (two) is that VP playing speed is directly related to reading speed. Probably 80% natural ability and 20% practice. My wife Chris reads extremely fast, she can easily finish a typical paperback novel in less than a day without effort. She plays video poker at about 1000-1200 hands per hour without any effort on games that she knows well and I clocked her several years ago (if I remember correctly) at 1600 on FPDW back when we were playing that a lot. She can play 1000 hph and carry on a conversation! I, on the other hand, make mistakes at any speed when I get chatty. Seriously, I struggle to get over 800 with accuracy when concentrating on the task. My ADD may have something to do with it ;-) Put a couple glasses of wine in me and I'm probably better off playing craps!

Happy travels

Find a 1 cent machine and hit deal/redraw as fast a possible and count the number of hands in 30 seconds. Then multiple the result by 120. I doubt very many machines are even capable of 3,000 HPH.

That said, the biggest hurdle is being able to process the information that fast.

For those that know the video game Tetris, I bet if this guy knew video poker then he could test the upper limits of VP speed. After 5 minutes, it turns into invisible Tetris.

[vpFREE] Question: What's the Best game to play at the Rio?

 


Video Poker is Dead at Rio.
The $5 jacks (9/6) now says $25 coin in = 1 point.
Multi line $1 Bonus Poker now says $50 coin in = 1 point.

You can play there, but you won't get any points to speak of.
Time counts, but GEEZ! It would take forever to get to 2500 tier credits.

[vpFREE] Tuscany (Invalid Pin)

 

I was told from a player's club rep. that Tuscany is looking closely at certain players activities/play. It's certain players because Tuscany changes their password, and forces players to re-enter their password at the Club. A Supervisor is required to authorize the "new" password.

*Player's club rep. read it from the memo in computer.

Oh see what happens if they put in a 2% progressive with a big, blinking meter and salt it with a 25K jackpot to start it out.

The best game to play at the Rio is to walk across the street and play at the Palms!
