I once won $50 in a slot machine on a day cruise. The cruise was $35. It was a buncha 80 year olds. A lady broke her hip.

Gambling is fun.

I know this is way, way OT, but I saw the weirdest movie last night...it was called "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer". I guess it was based on some book.

The short synopsis is everybody dies and the main character gets sad and he dies.

Neither my wife nor I liked the movie, but we can't stop talking about how weird it was. Quite the mind [censored] actually.

Sometimes I wonder if some of the players at UB 10NL think they are playing video poker...

GD it. I need a few days off, dropped about 4bi tonight at 25nl. Everyone shoving on me with draws and getting there. Calling me super light when I am bluffing. Folding when I have a hand. Yikes. I'm pretty sure they can see my cards, lol. Maybe I should play donkaments.

In other news, I went to Walmart tonite.

Unremarkable in and of itself, pretty common actually. But, I took a detour and on a whim went to the casino to play some video poker.

Put in $40, blah, boooooring, nothing, lose. Put in my last $20, I'm cheap! Then I was gonna leave. But then I hit a royal flush for $1K. Then they paid me. Then I left.

How does video poker work anyway? You have no opponent or what? I've never played it. I assume it's -EV always?

You get paid solely on teh strength of your hand. Typically if you put in one coin and get a pair of Tens or worse you lose. Jacks-Aces gets you an even payout. Two Pair gets something slightly better (like 2 or 3:1). Etc...all the way up to the Royal.

It is actually 5 Card Draw that you play.

And drawing to a 1 card Royal Flush draw never hits. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

And it is -EV. Sklansky has actually written a book or books on it.
