I’ve returned from my week in Arizona where I stayed at Harrah’s Ak-Chin and went to a couple Cactus League Spring Training games with the Giants, White Sox and Diamondbacks.  Overall it was a great experience and I will return for both, but probably not together.  I’ll get into specifics of both next week, but [...]

Phil Hellmuth – HOT DAMN!

by Marc November 23, 2010

Last week I saw and retweeted a pretty amazing picture from poker pro Phil Hellmuth getting dealt a Royal Flush on $5, 5-hand video poker.  It’s pretty amazing I want to share again via ECG for those not on twitter.  Nice pull, Phil.

by Marc November 11, 2010

I have another trip to Las Vegas coming up next week so I decided to check video poker pay tables on vpFREE for games at the two casinos I’ll be staying.  For this trip I’ll be splitting time between the Mirage and Harrah’s.  I check check other casinos on my iPhone, so I only checked [...]

9/6 Jacks or Better In Las Vegas

by Marc September 10, 2010

9/6 Jacks or Better Video Poker is my video poker game of choice.  It’s almost impossible to find 9/6 JoB on the Vegas strip in a denomination I’m comfortable playing – less than $5.  I prefer to play $1 JoB, if possible.  That’s still a $5 bet so its not like I’m playing peanuts. On [...]

WinPoker iPhone App

by Marc September 7, 2010

I was practicing video poker while watching TV and realized that I haven’t done a blog about the WinPoker iPhone app.  This is the only app that I’ve purchased on both my old iPod touch and my iPhone.  It is a great tool to practice video poker strategy and I usually play a few hours [...]

Why I Play Video Poker

by Marc August 24, 2010

Two years ago I realized that a friend of mine was getting better comps than I was by playing video poker in Atlantic City.  I was appalled by this.  I never thought that a game that grannies played would be given better treatment by the casinos than the table games I played. This was the [...]

Las Vegas Video Poker Research

by Marc August 9, 2010

As I always do, I’m prepping a trip to Las Vegas with video poker research.  I don’t think I’ll be gambling at most of these casinos, but I want to make sure I have the information in case I decide to.  Of course, I can always visit the vpFREE mobile site, but I still use [...]

9/6 Jacks or Better Alive in Atlantic City

by Marc August 6, 2010

I had an epiphany in Atlantic City last week.  Well, more of a thought than an epiphany.  I read so many complaints about the lack of 9/6 Jacks or Better video poker available in Atlantic City, but at least the games are available. In fact, unlike Las Vegas, there are a few 9/6 Jacks or [...]
