risky biz, popinjay, and maverick have all permanently left RGP because of pickle and Tim’s over 5000 posts about the say red game.

You may be correct ... however, Tim has now said he will actually answer
the question I asked. But we will see if he does.

You will get the answers, I'm sure. And then you will move on to the other colors. The blues. The yellows. The greens.... You might be interested in this bit. Just got back from a 9 day cruise. The ABCs, but B was the Bahamas. Bonaire didn't

want us. The ship stayed docked 2 days in Aruba. I hustled Aruba casinos for one of those days and hustled the ships casino for 9 days. Surprisingly profitable. Kind of piratey. I ate my Thanks Giving turkey on the water in Lauderdale. Canal side,
that is. It was a good time.

He finally admitted he was WRONG. Say Red is gone.

We love the ABC cruises ... have been several times. CardPlayerCruises
have the best trip if you like poker. I am stunned you were able to
hustle the ship casino ... I have never met anyone who could beat their outrageous odds. How did you do it????? Did they give you a reason for
not being allowed into Bonaire?

Finally, a post about gambling ... on RGP too!

Tell me about it... American roulette doesn't give them enough advantage they need a third house number? Even money on blackjack? I didn't analyze the paytables for the carny games, but undoubtedly pretty miserable. VP paytables in the 96% range if

you are playing max EV. I saw craps players with odds bets on the pass line, but I can't imagine they were getting true odds. Based on this experience, I'd say slot return setting set lower than most land based casinos. I had to make adjustments in my
play for that. And still, positive EV opportunities exist. In my case, people leave equity on machines.... or leave machines with equity they have helped build. You have to know where to look and what to look for. I am pretty driven to find value in
a casino. And there is the game within a game. Working a rewards system. Free play and free cruises add value, at least for me. And you have to be prepared to take a loss. A few bets are sure things, but most are not.

For Bonaire, I think they have started to limit the number of cruise ships in port on any given day. Original cruise itinerary included Bonaire, but was changed well ahead of time before we reserved the cruise. The 2 days in Aruba, which essentially

turned the ship into a floating hotel, was a real luxury. I liked it. And they were able to open the casino in port. I have never seen that before. Maybe a Dutch ship worked something out with a Dutch island? It was a first for the crew also.

You are amazing if you can win in a cruise ship casino. We are on
cruise #67 in March ... CPC from Galveston ... 7 days ... great poker.
But mostly the group is really good. Nice fun folks. You might
consider one some day.

I have to wonder if he had another heart attack

What was unbearable to his heart is the price of candy going up 5 cents every few months.

Maybe ... I hope he is well and happy and sick of us.
