I've been over $1000 before... But more often I get to -$250 and quit.

i've been consistently getting over $500 and staying up there, it's so odd. never before in my life have I played the deck so well.

Well, vegas style is a bit luck based... if you've been up that high on a regular basis, I'd say you've been pretty darn lucky.

I say luck is a skill There are things to do that are not obvious that help me out a lot. also, remember that you only need to put up 11 cards to make gains. by the first time thru the deck I know if i'm shooting for at least 11 or if i'm shooting for the win.

Ah, you're playing a different Vegas style then. I play where it only lets you through the deck once, one card at a time - that is much more luck based, and also much harder to win. But you're right, you're not really playing to win, you're playing to get 12-15 cards up.

you have to plan ahead for the next time thru the deck to get at some of the cards you couldn't pull the previous time.

I am too, Josh, I just changed the rules to 1 card at a time, 1 time through the deck. More challenging, IMO. I'll play your way when I get sick of my current games (Vice City and Rise of Nations).
