[vpFREE] Re: Hard Rock Las Vegas Tuesday 6/17

 

As of 7pm, the signage for the outage at HR was still up, but we were able to access our free play and print out a dining credit at one of the kiosks. The free play also worked in the machines nearby.

RE: [vpFREE] Bob Dancer's LVA - 17 JUN 2014

 

Spin Poker offers a rare opportunity in certain games when you can adjust the short-term volatility to your personal preference. Assume you are playing 9/7 TDB and are dealt 3 aces with two kickers. The two kickers may not be equal in the short-run if one is in the center middle and the other in another row. Which to choose? Hold the center middle kicker if you draw the 4th ace and want a "guaranteed" 3 Aces w/ K three times. Feeling risky? Choose the other kicker NOT in the center. If you draw the 4th ace you'll get the big jackpot only two ways 2/3rds of the time, but FIVE ways the other third when the ace lands in the dead center. Doesn'tatter in the long run, but it can in the short. Make your choice accordingly. Can also apply in SDDB in a similar kicker placement situation.

Still down at 2:30PM. I wonder if they will have "make-up" dates to get the gas cards?

JR asked: "Could you both show the math on this?"

Quads with one kicker:

13 ranks of quads x 12 ranks of kickers x 4 suits

Trips with two kickers:

13 ranks of trips x combin(4,3) suits x combin(12,2) ranks of kickers x 4^2 suits

Pair with three kickers:

13 ranks of pairs x combin(4,2) suits x combin(12,3) ranks of kickers x 4^3 suits

Trips with any other two cards (includes a full boat):

13 ranks of trips x combin(4,3) suits x combin(48,2) other two cards

[vpFREE] Re: [harrahscasinos] another strange party at Caesars Palace

 

The stone pizza set reminds me of a large set of heavy books the Mirage gave us once at one of these events. Many players had trouble just getting them back to the room. Some chose to use the office center and paid to ship them home. But many others simply left them for the maid. Almost everyone wished they had received some sort of on-property gift card instead. Heavy gifts should be an absolute no-no at these events unless the casino pays to deliver it to you.

The system is down until midnight. No point accumulations, no free play, no gas cards, etc.

 

Good - They had plenty of signage up in the casino.

 

Bad - Looks like this was a planned system upgrade, but no prior notification to local players.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: [harrahscasinos] another strange party at Caesars Palace

 

Well said.  Not knocking the older players as I am 50 myself but rather just a commentary on as we age our tolerance for loud music, waiting, incompetent workers, etc declines.  So a given setting or circumstance that age 30 that would not be noted is an irritant at age 55.  

The world does not change for us as we age.  We change and I think remembering that in what we say or think is helpful.  

I do concede that my terse response would be irritating at any age.  Please forgive with the clarification.

Thanks

Re: [vpFREE] LVRJ: SLS opens 23 August

 

I'm confused both about on what day "midnight" occurs and what the
convention is. "Midnight," having no duration, seems to be "between"
the 2 days. If I were to try to communicate which day I meant, I'd
feel the need to add one of the phrases "on the night of" or "on the
morning of." I think the confusion extends to the few hours after
midnight. Often, 1:00 or 2:00 A. M. is thought of as being on the
night of the previous day. Some casinos try to reduce the confusion
by starting promotions at 12:01 A. M. and/or ending them at 11:59 P.
M.

They have the same structure so wouldn't you expect an integer multiple? Trips are 3 cards of the same rank and 2 kickers, a Pair is 2 cards of the same rank and 3 kickers. I would also expect the quad to be an integer multiple since it is 4 cards of the same rank and 1 kicker.

 

 
You are correct. Trips are 88 times as likely as quads, which in turn are 1760 times as likely as a pair.


It's not at all obvious to me why this is the case. Yes I read what you wrote, but to me full houses are a special category of trips (i.e. those where the two kickers happen to be paired.) If you add the full houses to the trips, they are 94 times as common as quads.



Clearly your mathematical intuition is superior to mine.


Bob

Actually, it seems to me that it would be the morning of the 23rd.
Using a 24 hour clock, one day ends one minute after 2359 and the next begins at 0000.
Using that logic, midnight 23 August would occur at 0000 on the morning of the 23rd.
