Keeping Mama Hogg in her pen

[labell]

oh man this is so hard... we've been talking about playing back winnings, and reversing cashouts lately. Well the tourney's at the VIP casinos can have the same problematic affect on me. It seems that every time I get to be in the winning I over play trying to hit first and instead lose completely. That's one of the troubles with their long tournaments. Anyway I'm in the money on the New Years Tourney, top prize is 20 grand... welll I'll never hit that, but I am in the middle of the pack of 60 who will win $201.... and I'm in 7th place in the month long Deuces Wild... I've watched my standing go up and down a few spots and it's sooooo tough not going for the gusto... but I'd rather end up with a couple of hundred than zilch..... so fellow streakers cross your fingers for me... one ends tonight and one ends tomorrow.... wish me luck that I can hold out and not play it away lol....

Keeping my fingers crossed for you mama hog...lol

Today I played the free 10 from inet -hit a bunch of dinos on the free spins and won 750.00

So I decided I would play the pinata game -hit 2000 on the free spins but could only cashout 50.00.
Oh how I wish that it had been my deposit..lol

hugs

Good luck labell, I will keep my fingers crossed for you

Yeah, gufus, I am always afraid I will hit big with a small free chip.

 

[labell]

oh gufus that's my nightmare too, hope you at least built some good comp points...

I MADE IT! Good thing I checked in on the slot tourney... ended at midnight not noon gulp, and I won the $201 - and $122 on the deuces tourney!

thanks for supporting me

Thanks everyone, I've been both smart and foolish. Played it back at the one, invested in more tourneys at the other lol... but I'm sitting in 3rd at the vp tournament that ends Sunday, and 7th in the for the pot that ends today... so I'll be in the money again lol.... Plus I've invested in the month long vp deuces tournament too... lol don't you love how I've convinced myself It's wise investing Seriously as long as mama stays under control I'll be fine! rofl

Ya Judy, if you say so That one is NOTon my list of worries


Good for you labell. Now that you have a bankroll I hope your luck continues!

XoX

I forgot Gufus! Well done lady!!!

 

[eishagirl]

well, whether you play it back isn't really the issue in my eyes. I think because you had the self control not to play it away before actually winning is what counts here, one you got the winnings, in my opinion, you did good, by giving you multiple chances to "Re-invest" those winnings, hehe


There is alot of times where i deposit $25-$30 and get up to $250 or so, if i would just cash that out, that gives me at least 10 more chances to deposit elsewhere for $25, and you get on a better winning streak.

But i rarely do that, but say if i got up to $400, and then can't seem to win as they drain the bankroll down, thats when i should stop and say you know what, i'll take this $250, and once i get it, i can start over with a $25-$50 deposit at this casino, or take the rest and try somewhere else out.


Your tournament winnings were the same way, you were in good position to win a little, instead of playing it away trying to get higher in the tournament, just take what you are about to win, and it will give you the better chance in another tournament. So you did well my friend, even if you gave it back trying out more tournaments. the point is, you took it from them to begin with, hehe

Thank you eisha, well said. That's how I viewed it... and I am in top spots in two more now with the entries I bought... the one doesn't end until the 31st, but I'm in first place... lol we know that won't last, but anywhere up to 10th will pay about 80 if the prior months are anything to go by... and I'm in a solid 3rd place in one that ends tomorrow... if I stay there the win as of now will be $148 - probably more as it grows with each replay... and if I drop down in 5-10 place it would still be half of that... So in this case it appears to have worked

lol I'll check in tomorrow! ttyl, and thanks for the good wishes everyone

 

[dani3839]

yep, its nice to stay in control at least alittle, lol
oh yeah, and having fun counts too

good luck in the other tourneys dear
