One Hundred Game Video Poker14 September 2013
Hi Jerry “Stickman”, I normally play Jacks or Better video poker although I sometimes play Double Bonus Poker if the pay table is good enough. Sometime I have good streaks and sometimes I have very bad streaks. At times it seems I will never get anything higher than a high pair. I am thinking it might be better if I played a Hundred Play game as this should smooth out the variances. ... (read more)

Playing Class II Video Poker Machines3 August 2013

Placing the 4 and 10 at Craps6 July 2013
Dear “Stickman,” I really enjoy playing craps. However, because I am a low roller my funds are limited and I am not able to “buy” the 4 or 10 so I place them. At my betting level, I cannot afford a $20 or $25 or more for a buy bet. I feel this is still a great bet because I get paid 9 dollars for a 5 dollar bet. ... (read more)

Hi Stickman, What are the chances of winning non-consecutive hands in blackjack such as 20 blackjack hands ... 15 hands ... 10 hands ... and 5 hands? These are the small questions that I always wonder about when I am not actually playing the game. When I play the game the statistics get thrown out the window and I really don’t follow how many wins or losses I have in how many hands. ... (read more)
