Recent Barona "TR", more like little-context photo dump
Had a good day at the local recently. Have been getting crushed at work and haven't been able to go. Keep trying to get the day off, keep getting killed, don't have time, etc. Finally eked out an opportunity- I woke up before 5am so as to play early and hopefully be home at a reasonable hour.
I'm not quite sure why I started taking pics. I think I took the first one bc it was very unusual. After that, things stayed hot and I figured just keep documenting because with each successive hit it became more and more likely that this was going to be a truly EPIC session.
These aren't all the hits of the day either, just the most notable or unusual. You'll see single aces turning into quads twice, pairs into quads three times, etc. I pretty much played 8 hrs, 100 lines at 25c for most of the day, and even 100 lines at 50c for a bit! 250$ a push- if ever I needed dealt 4AWAK or a royal it was then, woulda been 200k.
So I'll let the pics do the talking now; a bit more context at the end.
The hit that started things; I was up a bit before this, and got bold afterwards.
Pair into premium, twice!
Pair into quads three times, twice with kicker!
IF ONLY this was the deal, rather than the result. 100k! Actually kind of bad draw result.
Dealt full at 50c, 100 lines equals...
Kinda dumb getting a handpay for a full house. First time for me. Whatever, it's all relative.
I think I only hit one royal here too.
Quads NINE times.
LOL singleton ace into premium twice!
Of course, this wouldn't be an epic rungood day without its fair share of dealt quads. I was dealt quads 4 times. Statistically, that's dealt premium at least once.
Drumroll, please...
**** 9s twice! How about aces twice?!
Sigh. Not to be. Such an epic day anyways, but had any of those been premium... I would have been looking at my first 6 figure day.
As it was, I won just over 25k, never even hitting a true monster. It was just hitting, hitting, hitting... as a bonus, when I got home I realized that where I thought my bankroll was at was off by 10k, I counted, recounted and yep, there's an "extra" 10k strap. "Found" money FTW!
It's just unreal how this game can be when you run well. I went again yesterday and just got crushed. Was hoping to recreate some of the magic of this trip but it was the exact opposite. From a results perspective I totally get it, it's just unreal how luck can bunch so much.
Until next time!

Just gonna leave this here from my local last night b/c who doesn’t like seeing 4AWAK???
Little context: a friend I grew up with lives in town about 15 mins from me and we try to meet up every month and play a little VP/Keno and have some drinks at the bars by his place. Last night he got there about an hour before me and got stared drinking and playing. By the time I showed up he was down 450. About a little later he’s down another hundo but activated $50 free play. That goes in a flash.
He’s at his atm limit but I remember I owe him money for a bbq we are doing Saturday so I throw him some cash. 5 mins later he hits quad 3s. 4 hands after that he hits 4 aces w/ kicker. Now he’s +100 (a 600 swing). Right after that I hit 5/6 on keno for $75 switch back to VP and hit the photo above. 10 mins later he hits 6/6 on Keno for $400. It’s a +1600 combined swing playing quarters
He was hungover AF today and left work at 1. I didn’t start work until after 1

Yea I thought there was a sort of blessing from Leon for people to post one offs as long as you don’t go posting like mini reports.
I’d be happy to have my post edited out, I just wanted to share a little VP porn for our friends who haven’t been able to get back to VP or are uncomfortable going to a casino, whilst we wait for Leon’s next trip
ST,
Sickkkkkkkk hit

Interesting day today... this is out of order, for reasons that will become clear.
OMFG... 250$/pull, just the K of hearts away from being dealt 200k!
Result-
Definitely above avg.
Now, how did I come to be playing 250$/pull, you might ask? Well, I finally got a BIG ONE!
Set a new one hit record, and a one day record! I played on after obv, but things stayed decent. I think I played for at least 2 more hrs and didn't give back too much money. I booked a 57k winner today.
Finally got the roll well over 100k. With my general run good since Sept 2019 I've taken out so much over the last few months (wisely so) to put into the market, the house etc- it feels good to just pure juice up the roll for once.
Next up- dealt 6 figures? I'll definitely be playing 100 lines at 25c minimum for a while, so it's possible...

Warren Buffett et al are all geniuses, until they're not. They're right, until they're not. But any serious student of gambling and statistics knows over a large enough sample size, there are going to be outcomes that defy reason simply by chance only. I honestly think that Buffett's huge success was mostly dumb luck- he's the guy that flipped heads 10x in a row. Or the one monkey out of billions who randomly created the works of Shakespeare (to use another analogy). In any case, I know that over a large enough sample size there's going to be those few people who seem like world beaters, when it's all due to luck. Or that WSOP winner who, let's get real, won every fricking coin flip in front of him. Lose one and no one remembers their name- but they got lucky.
So I think I'm that one monkey that has managed to flip heads 10x in a row. Or 50. Whatever. I'll take it
But I know it's just random bullshit. And yes, I feel awful for the guy on the opposite side of the distribution curve.

Seriously. Only somewhat related, but I was thinking about this the other day. I've never thought much of Warren Buffett and even less so of the so-called "Wall St Wizards" or whoever. I mean, I invest in the market, but I know I don't know crap other than long term the market SHOULD end up better than when I started. I'm much more of a Nassem Talib, Black Swan, "I know I don't know, but other people think they know when they also don't know" kind of guy.

Interesting Warren Buffet story....(sorta)
Years ago I lived in the same town as the oracle. I was playing a lot of golf and young enough to join as a junior member, so I joined a small country club downtown. There was a crew of us that were degens and I learned all of the ways to gamble chasing the little white ball around.
After a while a buddy and I start playing regular Sunday morning games with a couple of old codgers. We were playing $5 Nassau’s automatic press when your down with a whole bunch of side gambles (snakes, sandies, greenies, barkies) we had weekly swings of $80 to $100 and thought we were ballers.
These two old guys we were playing with were a hoot and talked just as much smack on each other as we did as they exchanged .30 to ..50 cents at the end of the round.
Finally one week after listening to the cocky young dumbass (me)-giving the guys **** for not gambling for more during yet another post round smack talk in the men’s grille-the bartender waited til the old guys left and told us who we were playing with....2 of the original 5 guys to throw Warren a bone and gamble with him. They both had 9 figures net worth from just being in the right place at the right time and still they were playing for 10 cents a point
I quit giving them ****
(Not sure the point, other than I think it really ties into the luck aspect of life-these dudes weren’t anything more than sharp guys with some money to burn at the right time-turned into generational wealth because they happened to live in the right place)

Little context: a friend I grew up with lives in town about 15 mins from me and we try to meet up every month and play a little VP/Keno and have some drinks at the bars by his place. Last night he got there about an hour before me and got stared drinking and playing. By the time I showed up he was down 450. About a little later he’s down another hundo but activated $50 free play. That goes in a flash.
He’s at his atm limit but I remember I owe him money for a bbq we are doing Saturday so I throw him some cash. 5 mins later he hits quad 3s. 4 hands after that he hits 4 aces w/ kicker. Now he’s +100 (a 600 swing). Right after that I hit 5/6 on keno for $75 switch back to VP and hit the photo above. 10 mins later he hits 6/6 on Keno for $400. It’s a +1600 combined swing playing quarters
He was hungover AF today and left work at 1. I didn’t start work until after 1
