Came home from a Vegas trip once w/ $2200. Won $1K in a 30 minute blackjack session and then another $1000 parlaying the hard 6/8 in craps.

Heh, I've only really gambled once and that was the one time I went to Vegas. My buddy and I played 1-3 limit poker with the tourists and walked away with about 300 each in our pockets. Made another couple hundred off blackjack. Then I had some quarters leftover and dropped them in a Munsters themed slot machine. It spit out 40 bucks. THen I dropped a quarter in another random slot machine a second later. It spit out 80 bucks. I just stopped right there. The last day we combined to put 200 down on one hand of blackjack. We had a shitty hand but the dealer busted. Was a great time.

making $300 in 1-3 limit poker is like winning the lottery

I don't even know how that's possible

everyone would play every hand...I didn't even know 1/3 limit existed...are you sure you didn't play NL?

Positive. We sat there for a few hours and just got free drinks, conversed with some interesting people. We pretty much just played our good hands. There were a lot of people coming through there that had no idea what they were doing. We played a couple 100 dollar buy-in tournaments and lost. The first tournament, I lost the very first hand. I had pocket Qs and a lady went all in with A-J and I called her and lost.

playing all of the good hands wouldn't mean jack in 1/3 limit since everyone would play every hand

if you take AA against 8 other people your odds of winning the hand probably aren't much higher than 20% (tops) preflop...

I'll test this.

Hit $5400 on a slot in January, then ~$1600 a week later. Between taxes, frivolous spending, and going back to the casino, I blew threw it in about 6 weeks.

$860 on a dollar slot

splatbass · 04-02-2013, 09:04 AM

I went to Vegas in February last year, got there late at night. I got up the next morning, went to breakfast, then went straight to the MegaBucks slot machine to play my daily $21 there (it is $3 a pull, and I always do 7 pulls a day to try to win the $12M). On the third pull I won $5400. I had been playing for less than 5 minutes.

Pretty much ruined gambling the rest of the trip, because I knew I could only lose the money I just won. But I had a good time anyway.

Another time I won $300 on the MegaBucks slot at the Venetian. And I won $250 on the MegaBucks at TI. I do pretty freakin well on the MegaBucks.

I like to tell people I lost 40,000 in ten minutes at the casino. Of course I was in Seoul, and it was 40,000 Won, which is about $36.

$500, a couple of times. I win more often than I lose. Play smart, don't drink, know when to walk away. Like when you get up by $500.
