Re: THANK YOUUUU MR. SKLANSKY!
tstone,
thats cool. no worries. GA, hes a pretty intimidating dude. plus he looks like if anyone talks to him he will die of boredom. more details about the video poker game. so it went like this. there were four lines, you start at the bottom, it displays 2 random holdem hands and you pick one, it deals out a random board and you play it just as you would any random holdem hand. Its weird because like 67s is way more valuable than AKo and so forth. You try to make 2pair or better to move on. The higher you get the more your hand multiplies. So 1st level is 1x, 2nd is 2x, 3rd is 5x, 4th is 10x. I put in 20 bucks to start and was playing for 2 bucks a round. If i ever ran this hot in real poker i would never stop playing ever. I was like 19/28 on flopping sets. I got quad aces twice, once was on the top row which turned my ~$80 into $225. It was interesting because when you got like Aces through TT it would give you a 5x multiplier and a 2 credit bad beat jackpot. And if you flopped a set with aces or flopped a royal draw vince van patten would say some retarded catch phrase and the machine would do some dramatic pause. For my royal hand i made 2 pair, then a straight, then i got a free pass through the third level. At the 4th level my choices were 74o and KQh, i picked KQh, the flop was Jh Th 6h, so i flopped the flush and was already fairly stoked. Then Vince comes on to tell me that this could be the big one. i agree. The turn is like the 2c. The river is the beautiful(fu norman chad, ace of hearts=prettiest card in the deck)ace of hearts. Everyone around me erupts, its a strange feeling for me because ive never hit any sort of jackpot, but i guess ive never really played slots/video poker. After the royal they played another awesome video clip of Mike Sexton wishing me live cards and monster pots. I was kinda sad david wasnt there to see me get the royal and be proud of his young grasshopper. After sklansky left, stacy's friend and i were giving ideas for what we could have said to sklansky. I said i wanted to ask him where brandi was. He wanted to just ask a general video poker strategy question to see how sklansky would answer. Stacy suggested incorporating a DUCY? into the conversation, but alas, nothing happened. We went home at 230. I went to sleep at 4, woke up at 545, caught an 8am flight and now im at work in california at 10am. Solid weekend.

Re: THANK YOUUUU MR. SKLANSKY!
Nice read, OP.
A lot of us would have said something dumb and semi-funny to DS, though.
