Played 3 days at Aria in Vegas this week. Tables were $10 the whole time which was nice. First time with HG method which I played exclusively. First session table was brutal and dropped $300 in about an hour. 2nd session buy in $200, cash out $500, so back even. 3rd session buy in $200, cash out $800. 4th session up another $200, 5th session drop $200, 6th win back $250. So leave $850 up after 3 days. Not too bad.
Seems the HG method works pretty well for what it is. As long as the table is not totally cold it slows the bleeding down and pays off w a few hot rollers.
Have to echo that it's not the most exciting way to play. Definitely don't recommend if you're trying to have fun playing with your wife/gf. My main "complaint" I guess is that you don't really get to celebrate a point made. Still, winning is more fun than losing and I'll go to it again.
Another thing, I was hoping to get some better comps after spending ~15 hrs betting 32-34 per shooter. I mean, obviously not high roller stuff, but I got upgraded to MLife "pearl" status and all I got out of it was comped parking. What's the secret to getting a free meal, night, etc.?
