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

 

Yes, which brings up the topic of problems with pseudo random number generators. I notice the Wizard has switched to the Mersenne Twister, perhaps he'd care to comment on that choice:

Are the games listed in VPfree2 accurate?

They do not have multiplier days for "everybody." Your multiple point days, if any, are mentioned in your mailer.
The 25c thru $10 8/5 Bonus Poker games have been removed from their High Limit lounge. (At least the two on the right were changed. People were playing the two on the left last time I went there.)

[vpFREE] M mailer

 

I haven't played at the M since May 2012.

Received a "we miss you" mailer for August. $80 free play ($40 for the first half and $40 for the second half) and $30 food credit.

Does anyone know if they still have point multiplier days and/or other promotions that would help justify a trip down there?

Are the games listed in VPfree2 accurate?

Thanks,
Don the Dentist

[vpFREE] Re: OT: Inflated claims and fragile egos

 

< And in my post of just a moment ago, it seems I again "overreached" ... using the term "jibe" where my intent was to paraphrase "tongue in cheek comment", having used a similar phrase already. Had second thoughts and looked it up -- the term carries a suggestion of sarcasm, which definitely wasn't characteristic of the post.

Appreciate the compliment (occasionally, I awkwardly "overreach" a bit ... as Bob has suggested in the past ;)

Influenced at an early age by the RD/Funk column "Pays to Increase Your Word Power" ... loved the quizzes.

Re the "between x and y thousand" ambiguity, I caught Bob's earlier column. (His tongue-in-cheek reply to you was a clue also.) Still, it seemed that the posted "challenge(s)" were broader than just questioning your jibe. (I may have engaged in a knee-jerk reaction.)
