*I drew one card to a Heart Royal last week, but I was only betting 25 cent coins. So I got a $1000 for a $1.25 bet and it was my second play, and this was my first royal ever.*
Congrats! All I could afford when in College was quarter too, but still loved the thrill of hitting those Quads and Royals. That being said, here I am 30 years later still a hard core VP player. After watching Andrew's vlog, I took a shot at $5 coin in in Feb. and hit a $20k Hearts Royal. Nice!
28:28 reminded me of My father (recently departed) taught me his strategy and tips. Whenever we were playing VP besides each other…. When the Royal FLush would elude me by the same one card scenario at time stamp, I would ALWAYS stop & get his attention. He would then stop his play, look at my near ROYAL miss and, say…. Johnny, You’re ONE JACK OFF! and then go back to his super aggressive video poker play. He would get deal FULL HOUSE 3 Aces overTwo pair…. Regardless of the situation he would throw the pair away and just hold the 3 ACES. looking for the 4th Ace w/kicker. Super aggressive
The government needs to loosen up on the $1,200 limit W2G gambling tax laws. It is killing higher limit slot machine play across the country and burdening people with paperwork. Casinos need to be more proactive with reducing the number of $1,200 W2G's they issue, in favor of larger payouts at $2k or above, or a larger number of smaller wins of $1,199 or less. This is especially true with the 250 credit payout on straight flushes at the $5 level. Lower the payout to 239 to get the customer playing more uninterrupted, reduce casino paperwork, and allow tax revenues to flow without too much hindrance.
Dude I credit you and bigkats for getting me more interested in video poker. And it’s really funny to me because I found each of your channels separately (found you due to your crazy high limit play and found big kats because I’m a MI boy and he frequents the casinos around me like Hollywood Toledo and Firekeepers in MI) and now you guys are friends and friggin’ link up on Vegas trips, badass! Hope you have great luck in your next session, your content rules. The “Slotmaster” part happened while typing this comment lol
He talks to damn much and in the process throws away good hands!! I have won thousands playing video poker over the last twenty years and it is no joke to me...I take it seriously, don't fk around when playing so that I don't make dumb mistakes like this. I have fun but I watch my play closely. This guy hold crap too many times.
About half way thru the stream. Excellent points made and exciting high limit action. I don’t think people really get how lucky we are to watch on RU-vid a player such as yourself. Keep truckin and hoping to meet you in person on the next go around. Cheers 🥂
Having watched Andrew's vlog from when he was just getting started, I'm completely floored his site is still under 10k subscribers. IMO, his total subs should be much, much higher. I guess compared to slots, VP has a very small, yet loyal following...
That’s nice of you to say. The sub count is low but I get almost 4x the views per video, on average, as I do subs and you won’t find many channels that can do that
I'd be interested to hear more about what happened at The Cosmopolitan with the party and the group pull. I don't understand what the motivation was for that kind of treatment.
I came to the comments hoping people would be talking about how annoying that lady was. First off says “I don’t want to bother you” THEN PROCEEDS TO BOTHER HIM! Lol. Then says “I’m going to take a video” before even asking him. Then has the nerve to mispronounce his NAME! And his follower numbers. At 28:38 I can still hear her cackling in the background and yelling. My gosh she would be so tilting.
video slots in the USA pay WAY MORE than the uk ones. in uk flushes hardly ever hit let alone full houses. Whats the typical RTP for US video poker? (its like 90% here)
Speaking from a mathematical background, there is a difference between theoretical hold and practical hold. Theoretical hold (or however the casinos label it) is the one advertised. What significantly skews the odds is that the majority of the theoretical payout is concentrated in a single hand (royal flush), and then only with maximum credits played. Perhaps, I am completely off base in my thinking though.
I bet Triple Triple has some really strange, high variance holds with the ace kicker paying 4000 and the straight only paying what a three of a kind pays in a 'normal' game. I'd love to have a trainer for this game. For example, should you hold 44A in some circumstances? Are there other circumstances where holding 4 to an open ended straight is incorrect? Hmmmmm.
question , which you alluded to earlier, regarding variance/staying power, would you say if you put in $100.00 playing dollars on Bonus, say 7-5, would be equivalant to $100.00 double double, 9-5 playing 50 cent? About the same variance, staying power, assuming, no quads, for example? Thanks , and enjoy your content/play!
Each time you bet you are dealt 5 cards out of a 52-card deck, you need to hold the good ones & discard the bad ones, the cards you discarded will be replaced from the remaining cards in the deck to hopefully improve your hand to a winning hand
With a J,J,9,9 I would hold the jacks for the already jacks or better payoff because the 2 pair payoff is the same, but on this game & on such a hand I'd just hold the jacks and go for the 3 or especially 4 of a kind instead of going for the full houses. The 4 of a kind is what the goal is on this one and such a huge better pay off and taking that chance is so much more worth it for that better pay off in that case. Going for the full houses with jacks or better with low cards is just to try and recover lost money back and not going for the win imho. I mean the jacks or better already pays back what you put in so why not go for the 4 of a kind always when dealt jacks or better and dump the low cards? Why would anyone want to hold the low cards for 2 pair on this game instead of going for 3-4 of a kind? You already got your money back with the jacks or better. Why go for the Full house instead & hold the low cards other than trying to recover already lost money? But everybody plays their own way I guess. SHM. ??
