Nice hit!
Vegas flights also suck because of March Madness too. This sucks because my b-day falls during march madness half the time.
Ultimate X is really 9/6 DDB for nickels? Not 7/5? 8/5? 9/5? Maybe I need to up my drive from the 5.5 hours to Tunica to 9.5 hours. I hope you don't think 9/6 DDB w/Ultimate X for nickels (really, nickels?!?!!?) sucks...5-play only 0.21% worse than a machine that Louisiana would ban.
Now any sane human being can only get about a 99.7% return longterm out of the game. But it looks like you did better than that this time.
Hammond also offers 9/6 DDB w/Ultimate X, but for only 3 play
dollars.
I have never seen any full pay Ultimate X for nickels anywhere. Cheapest I've seen is quarters (South Point, for example).
As for myself, I went to Tunica for my birthday, ran like crap. Biggest example, hitting AAAA while playing ~99% Double Deuces Wild. Also felt crappy when a $20/$40 A-5/2-7 Triple Draw game was playing at the Shoe, but I knew I was too poor to play it.
I watch one hand of A-5 from 5 feet away while being able to see some of the button's cards.
x = low cards
Predraw:
Button raises to $40 with 76xx, SB raises to $60, BB calls, Button calls
Draw 1: SB draws 1, BB
draws 3 (idiot), Button draws 1
SB bets $20, BB folds one round too late, Button raises to $40, SB calls
Draw 2: SB draws 1, Button pats (made 76xxx)
SB checks, Button bets $40, SB calls
Draw 3:
Button flips over his hand!!!
After some commotion, SB draws 1, Button pats.
Check, Check.
!$@!!#$!@$!@@$@!$, I need a good job!!!
Also, Harrah's Tunica is closing June 2nd. So cheaper hotel will be harder to find there now.
