Re: [vpFREE] Mistaken Identity

Great story, Karen, but I can top that. It had been three YEARS since I'd
seen a Royal. Three long, miserable years. Last week I was playing the
FPDW at Binion's for about an hour when the deal came up as Jc Kc Ac Qc X.
So, naturally I kept the four suiteds and drew. No deuce. Dammit, anyway.
I sat there cussing to myself because I can't even draw one lousy duck
for one lousy dirty royal. It was probably 5 seconds (an eternity) before I
realized that the 10C not only made a flush, but a very good flush, indeed.

P.S. Got another one on the same bank about 48 hours later.

I sat to play for half an hour before dinner last night at Main Street
Station. Since I have been running so bad (no Royal all year on 25c
machines,
etc), I decided to put only a little in and see what happened. I thought
I was playing Double Bonus and was very happy to catch aces. But the
credits kept going long after 800. They went right on to 2000 when I
checked
and found that a) I was playing DDB and b) I had hit Aces with a kicker.

Usually when I play the wrong game I lose my shirt!!

Soo the good news continued after dinner when I put one more last twenty
(I had an errand to run) into a different machine and shortly came up
with
Double Bonus Aces.

First good night for me in many, many months.
