Suitedjustice's Ongoing Mid-life Crisis

Never Let Me Go is one of perhaps 2 movies that I walked out at the cinema. My sister loved it and convinced me to give it another shot, which I did, and while I love the story - I can picture the book being >>>>> the movie -, I still feel like they whiffed the movie with what was a good precept...

Philip K. Dick is the nuts! Or close to it... Or at least literally nuts and... figuratively 😉 I would put him in a similar category to Borges as far as metaphysics and introducing schizo realms goes... The 3 season TV series is definitely well worth the watch as well

I've posted this before but it's still relevant.

I sat down and lost $300 in the first hour.

Damn security guard wouldn't let me ragequit this time.

I won half of it back so far. Five hours remain in the session.

Now down $400 at the halfway point.

I've decided that, regardless of what happens today, I'm going to start the cumulative tally over again, to mark my new work ethic.

Lost another $200 all in preflop vs a tilted dude who just wanted to punt his stack AK

Aces cracked for $120. This is not fun. I am not having a good day

You worship the wrong God, go home and repent! Tomorrow is another day.

Always remember that the Poker God is a woman, so there's not going to be a lot of rationality to deal with --just crazy emotions.

Well, I made it through the full, lousy 8 hour shift. Some slot wins mitigated the loss, as is often the case. I'll post the numbers later.

After losses like this one, I made a practice of staying home for a few days and nursing my wounds, but now the security guard will have none of that nonsense. I'm to be packed up and sent back to work tomorrow.

GL friend surpassing that downswing and the cranky emotions that come with it ; you got this

Ordered, and thanks for the kind wishes!

Grrr. Off to work. I will keep an eye out today for spots in which to find enjoyment.

Hour one: my aces held up vs 5 callers for a hundo. Weeeeeee

Excellent, looking forward to your feedback/appreciation levels (or there of...)!!!

Card dead for two hours. My image is as tight as a drum. BTN to my left straddles for $5 and gets 5 callers. I make it $45 with T9o from the CU and get snap folds all around and a $30 profit. Weeeeeeee.

lol

Just a hundo with 5 callers?
I guess you were HU on the turn?

Yes. The pot was probably closer to $125, and I did only get one call to the turn, which I bet, and then I checked the river to the aggro player after all the draws bricked, but he didn't bite.

Yesterday I had a breakeven poker session, which is better than a losing one. On the slots, some very generous and/or extremely uninformed soul left a 12x multiplier hand in the $1 denomination on each of two different Ultimate X machines, and I hit moderately on both 12x hands.

I didn't see the sugar person in question, but it had to be a singular person, because the odds of two different people leaving 12x, $1 multipliers on different machines on the same day is so vanishingly small that it might as well be zero. Hopefully the sugarplum returns to Springfield for some more action.

I'm heading back today, and this will be the first time I've worked the casino three full days in a row for as long as I can remember.

As I mentioned before, I've turned over a new leaf in my work ethic, and I've restarted the tally below in order to mark that.

MGM Springfield $1/$2 poker: 16 hours
(-$532.00)
MGM Springfield Slots: 5 hours
+$1062.51

Running Poker Total from Sept. 2024: 16 hours, -($532.00)
Running Slot Total from Sept. 2024: 5 hours, +$1062.51

2024 Grand Total: 21 hours, +$530.51

Is the poker room running any football promos this year?

I have a question on vulturing Ultimate X. Let’s say your on a bank of 8 VP Ultimate X machines. Do you need to check every machine or just one in the bank? Also if some is playing say double double bonus at the $1 level will that leftover multiplier only show DDB or will it show on any $1 demon VP game?

Drop some acid or smoke two pounds of weed to figure out the answer!

Good questions

Two pounds?
