The main advantage is in, the travel cost. The closer he casino, the less cost to get there. We have four casinos in Kansas and they are all indian casinos. Most offer a better game, than in many Nevada casinos. My travel cost is less than twenty bucks. I go two or three times a month and have done so, for several years. I like them just fine.

Nice place, very fun, great rules (Split up to 4 times, DAS) dealers will reach out and high five winners, main pit boss(director of table games) dealt a little pitch game I was at, buried hole card, then turned them both over(showing hole card)made me laugh a couple of times. Probably San Diego's most remote casino, about 45 min east, but the funniest place I've played yet. I played for 5 hours and ate dinner free (30.00 comp) and went home +1100.00 (2 of us she bought in for 40 I bought in for 100)

I've seen the billboards for that place. Pretty unusual. Normally high-fiving dealers is out of the question as they must never be touched, and your hands can't be on money or chips at the same time. Great results on that trip. Were you playing any particular strategy?

§igh... how pathetic. I haven't been to this board in ages and yet I still OWN nearly 20% of all the posts. Amazing.

Anyway, I dont see how you won $1100 with only a $100 buy-in and playing @ a $5 table?? That would mean you would have to have had a winstreak to reach x7 LOTS of times, when you said you only reached there twice. How in the hell did you end up winning $1100 @ a $5 table?! :roll:

Idano about da rest of you guys, but just sounds a little too hard to believe.

I never doubt anyone's results, but I also wondered about those numbers so I checked them out.......looks to me like a great streak of good luck.

Very roughly, they "knocked down" about 40 units/hr for five hours, or 20 units per hour for each hand......those are phenomenal numbers, but they are within one standard deviation.

My only comment would be:

Mike - Don't expect those kind of results every time you go to a casino, but congrats on the big win. :wink: :wink:

I dunno, I wasn't really keeping a close ledger of events, I do remember the dealer telling me that at one point I had won 13 hands in a row. I think I'm a little different than some people in the respect that I play Blackjack because I enjoy playing it. Win, lose, or otherwise I enjoy sharing the ride to the desert with my wife, going to the casino and playing a game that I'm (in my opinion)good at, and teaching her the reasons I play the way I do. I like to watch other people play and enjoy the conversations with the dealers and pit bosses. I also like to share these experiences with you people as well, good and bad. I do read these posts every day and have learned a great deal from you all, mostly. I have done well at times and others times as I have posted done some pretty boneheaded things too. That's what makes things interesting for me. The last thing I would do would be to stretch the truth here, one way or the other for some twisted bid for attention, and like I said I have read every post on this board since the first day Neil started it. I haven't posted a heck of alot, but when I thought I had something to share I did so, But I also have a firm opinion that I would keep my thoughts to myself before I would say something ill spirited and sound like an idiot, rather than make the mistake of saying it and remove any doubt. I have a great deal of respect for you guys and would love to meet any one of you for a session at the tables, so that when I say the I use strict BS when I play I mean the to be interpeted as Basic Strategy. :lol:

Each and every post on these boards is subject to scrutiny. Each of us make's his own bed depending on the words he speaks or writes. Bug doubted Mike's numbers, and he said so in no uncertain terms. That's all he did, He doubted Mike's numbers. So did Grif. There is nothing ambiguous about Bug's words. He says what he feels, and thank God for that. There was nothing profane or beligerent in what Bug wrote. This is a public forum and Bug is a large part of this forum.

Bug - No adverse point at all. You made a comment, and I responded with a fact. You once had a percentage of over 40% (the last time I noticed) of the posts......and yes, I definitely want an active board.

Regards.....Grif'

p.s. I sent you a PM.
