Greetings from Torrance! That machine was borderline evil. Ever been on a session where you either want a quad or just be put out of your misery? I have gone an hour before and everything in me said to quit, but it kept teasing me with full houses and 3 of a kinds. Even when the quad came out, I couldn't celebrate. Was just too exhausted. You have my sympathies on this session. It truly was...."EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!"
Hey Andrew, you have a pretty consistent leak in your game where you are overvaluing 3 to the straight flush over a pair like you do at the 12:48 mark. Keeping the pair is substantially better, yielding 4.06 credits back to the straight flush yielding only 2.83 in 8/5 bonus. That's a $6 mistake at the $5 denomination every time it's made and can add up pretty quickly, I've noticed it in other videos as well. Keep up the great videos!
The question you bring up is worth looking into. Does a change in cadence result in a different result? I'll get back to you after I find out! Yours for the best outcomes..........glenn
Okay Andrew, I know you like Circa and the strip and downtown casinos, but that was brutal. I suggest earnestly to try some local casinos!!! I do truly believe they pay back better. I want you to win so bad!!!
I have been on a total dry spell lately as well. I attribute it to the economy being tits up and the machines aren't getting as much play as they used to. Then when granny hits her quad she cashes and gets her free hot dog at the snack bar. The casino I got consolidated there VP machines so the less machines the tougher to get the 96% payback variable per person.
216 the 578 hearts is the correct hold, at 731 the correct hold is the pair of 10s not the inside straight flush. 1249 pair of 6 is the correct hold not the 3 card straight flush. Yes Andrew that was one very long video but was interesting too. LOL Better Luck
@27:09... highly suspect you had the quad aces right there I suppose the 'experts' would tell me that it's 'wrong' to do, but I'd only ever hold *ONE* _jacks or better_ card whenever I was dealt 2 _jacks or better_ cards of different suits (and, of course, I'd only hold the ace in Double Double) just doesn't make any sense to me to hold two _jacks or better_ cards when they're different suits because by doing that you're effectively nullifying any chance of hitting a royal flush, ..and in the case of what I time-stamped above, holding two might've cost you the quad aces
@@brianlarsenis ... meh still doesn't feel right to me I mean, completely locking yourself out of the chance to hit a royal flush AND diminishing your chances at hitting a quad all in exchange for a slightly higher chance at breaking even with a 'jacks or better' ? I can't do it
@@Rdking80 ... sure, I don't doubt that 'mathematically speaking', holding the two differently suited _jacks or better_ cards is considered 'playing it safe', but ..idk, I guess if I really wanted to 'play it safe', I just wouldn't put any money in the machine to begin with and when I've seen quad aces and royal flushes come up, probably half the time they just popped up unexpectedly out of nowhere after holding only 1 or 2 cards (ie. *not* 3 to a royal flush or 3 to a quad)
@@Rdking80 ...and to be perfectly fair, though; ..whenever I played, it sure wasn't $25 a hand or $250 a hand or $500 a hand lol so, yeah; ..I could afford to take risks
You're basically shooting for a pair minimum, to get your money back and have an opportunity at another hand. The randomness of slots might work better for your logic.
Just wondering if you ever. Tried “Quick Quads” video poker? I know Bob Dancer has made a bit of a name for himself playing it. I have played it a few times in Laughlin and at South Point in Vegas. Enjoy your current video series! 😎🤘
Andrew, man I’ve been playing VP for 30 yrs and I love your videos. I’m pulling for you! Your doing something I’ve always dreamed of. My tip, if a machine takes 25% and quickly returns it back then cash out and get a new Machine. Best wishes
Hi, JoAnna from South Philly...Always watch you but on my TV so don't make comments. Know the Poker Guys are gonna be in AC in June but would like to know which casino or casinos you're going to be at so I can make plans to come down the shore. Thanks so much!!
you did not get any flush, four cards to a flush, and never got the fifth, when you should have 20% odds. I watched a video from North Korea and their slot work on the same system....

You are 100% right when the draw is paired up, I gotta clean that up.
Nice grinding keep it up and let's go..Always behind you 100% kick some butt out there and have fun!!
This is a shining example of why I like to play multi- hand video poker. This stretch is painful.
Yep. Same here. Triple play DDB at $2 coin-in ($30 a deal). More quads, but still have the occasional horrid downswings.
Ending on a straight flush draw like a boss. Good luck rest of the trip!

The local casinos don't give me $1900 in freeplay, but I do play at some of them.
@@Slotmassacre Yeah, $1900 is a lot of free play:)

yeah I just realized the straight flush mistakes today.
@@Slotmassacre you can always count on me to be that one VP troll. LOL My real name is also Andrew
We've all been there, brother. Those 10+ hands without a single hit are brutal
Minute 18:46 keep telling you As 10. You need a ten to make a royal flush . Lol hugs from Mexico

It's the right play. The math is clear.

I HATE nights like that.. but we all do. Good luck!
That was an extremely rough session...looked like nearly all of mine 😕
Rude...can't leave us hanging..I hope you caught the four of a kind after al😂
How long do you keep getting your head caved in before leaving a casino?
Just wondering if you ever. Tried “Quick Quads” video poker? I know Bob Dancer has made a bit of a name for himself playing it. I have played it a few times in Laughlin and at South Point in Vegas. Enjoy your current video series! 😎🤘
Yeah I tried it years ago, takes too much focus for me to play it, and its not widely available where I play.
Here we go from Hermosillo, Mexico lol

Awesome 😎
Tough session,on one trip I had 2 royals before my first 4 of a kind
Full house with 2’s dealt….any thoughts to just hold the 2’s ….or always take the money?
It appears bonus poker is not as friendly as one would think. Double Double I have better luck with.
Any game can be hot in the short term. Long-term, DDB is MUCH more volatile than BP.
Not sure what you mean by volatile as far as the game? It eats your money faster?
@@jpvegas7392 Correct. The up and down swings are greater, so requires more bankroll to play a given length of session.
It's your money but I would of switched games at some point before it dropped that low. You can always go back to bonus poker.
maybe you should do that 'little dance' you done did before
0 for 10 on four card flush draw.Pointless

I will release the details in a video, I am not booked yet.
Why do you hold off suits
Generally I get just as many quads from a pair as I do from trips.
FIRST. PARKOUR!
Two pair nightmare, and 125 credits for a 4 of a kind is not my game at all! But good luck to you.
Circa. That's why
As long as the streaks are on high denomination coin levels (when they come), don’t sweat the small stuff!🙌🏻🙌🏻🌎
I watched the whole video and all I could think was Train Wreck. Wow
i get and miss as many as you do. it ain't abnormal to have both winning and losing stretches. you can't hit a hand you won't draw at.
The saying goes, you can't win all the time. You may hit a streak, but it will catch up to you
Wow that waa a long drought, maybe sometime try play 1 credit for 45min, then back to 5. Ya I know, that's when the royal shows up,
You should play triple double. Pays better.
im surprised you dont carry a back up battery
It’s like pulling teeth 🦷 sometimes 👍🏻
Three two a royal besides the ten is a instant hold no matter what..
Do you ever cash out and re-insert your ticket to jack with the machine a little? This one stunk. 🙃
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Queens were about 50 hands late. Must be why they call it gambling 😂lol
Darn! One long effn session without a quad. Glad you FINALLY got one.
Omg how many times you dont take à 3 card royal draw vs a single pair... 1 times on 40 you make a quad.. take the royal draw, do it for you 😉
What casino you at? So I know not to go there😁 one 4 of a kind
Omg …………. Finally
So many triples but no quads
To win more in a jacks or better do not hold two ten or lower pairs. Keep one face card then you have four spaces to pair!🤔😀
you did not get any flush, four cards to a flush, and never got the fifth, when you should have 20% odds. I watched a video from North Korea and their slot work on the same system....
You average 17 hands per minute. Roughly 1,000 per hour.
He plays so fast and seems to miss some better plays. Why so fast? 🤷🏻♀️
The slots are totally manipulated. Turned off and in the take mode. Too bad for you Andrew.
A lot of mistakes. Damn
Hold the aces on two pair bro come on...
“This is Video Poker” - Looks miserable!
When delt two Aces and another pair, throw away the other pair.
This guy is painful to watch!!!
