Not if he's there with him. People do that all the time.

AND I SEE, CANOE IS FINE BUT I'M CHOPPED LIVER? GOOD DAY SIRS.

Leon, what is the best recommendation for a minimum hand-pay? (and is that amount $1000 or $1250?) What would be the minimum credits and # lines and which game to make this happen? And how much coin-in would be required?

I'm guessing at lower limits the odds are worse, so that would be a disadvantage.

The machines they have are 0.05, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, and 2.00 right?

Would you stick to TDB or DDB? would you do UX or just regular multi-line spin poker?

The federal hand pay is $1200, sometimes it's different based on the casino. Are you trying to avoid handpays or get them? I'm confused.

I didn't know you wanted to partner up! Totally down to either just have you sweat or partner up next time I'm out Gobbo.

Right, I don't understand the question. Can you restate?

Mostly just want to hang out but I was just joking.

LOL, that would be funny to have about 10 2p2'ers all throw in and play a $200k roll. Play $10 credits for a megabink.

Gobbo I️ still <3 you bud if Leon ever let’s me buy half of a ux I’ll buy you duck Panang first so you know you’re appreciated

I knew it. We missed each other by a few min last time. We'll make it happen next time.

What's the best combination of games/lines for winning >$1000 on one hand?

Kind of a ridiculous question. More lines and higher credits the better the chances obv.

With the lowest risk. I mean, I get what you're saying, but let's say that you need to have 4 of a kind with kicker, how often does that happen, and how much would a typical max-bet 5-line game pay at 0.05 or 0.25. I'm guessing one would need to play at least 0.25 for max bet ($1.25/line) for 5 lines...so that's $6.25 per spin, and if we knew the expected win rate for various combinations we could calculate the avg. number of spins, and hence coin-in, to get to that level of payout.

Sorry friend but I have no better way of answering your question. Obv it's a balance of risk vs reward. As an example, you could play suboptimally from an EV stand point, but maximize chance to make a big hand (eg, constantly draw at royals rather than hold a medium pair). You'd "make a big hand" more often, but obv go broke faster.

Similarly, clearly playing bigger makes it more likely you'll make a hand over 1k, but of course that costs more. There's too many variables to your question to make it possible to answer (number of lines, credit denom, game variety, etc).

I WILL say that for any given denom, you're more likely to make a score playing a high variance game like TDB. Compare to jacks or better- basically no way to make a hand which meets your criteria except a royal.

Leon- run better next trip. I’ll try to get some VP porn to show you when I’m there in December.

Single line TDB on $1 credits will get you there faster than any other game for the stakes probably. Easier the higher you go.

thanks for the TR Leon - the darkest hour comes just before dawn...you'll run better next trip

A poker player at WSOP Choctaw approached me while I was slamming 1 dollar deuces and asked advice on Video Poker.

I said don't get started and if you insist never ever ever ever bet higher than single line quarters

That's how my degen co-worker friend plays. Like he'll keep KT suited. His play is heavily bink-centric. He's almost always drawing for a royal or quads (he plays TDB).

Lol, thats solid advice.


Chasing single line royal progressives. Thats what I love.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the next trip already since I'm obviously "due".

Best advice, possibly in the history of the universe.

You're supposed to hold KT suited instead of just the K (I'm assuming that's what you're getting at). Or were you compared KT suited to say, KJo?

My only royal on single line came from holding KTs.

I've flopped a royal in HE and rivered one with KT. Didn't get much action with the rivered royal (bc obv when a 3rd suited card comes on the river of course the flushes got there), but the flopped one went 3 bets on the flop, turn and river. I never found out what villain had, but I was shocked at the action I got. This was back in the day when a 3 bet preflop was AA or KK, period.

Bad example, I should've said just a suited T.

Geez, how do you remember this? I don't remember any of the draws I hit royals on.

As in, a singleton 10? I'd hope it had a suit associated with it

If you had only ever hit one royal, im sure youd remember it. I remember all 9 of my single liners, but thats just me.
