Posi, I read somewhere you were a fan of Pai Gow poker. Any tips?
[/ QUOTE ]
Sure.
Don't play the "bonus". They payouts are horrid vs. the actual odds of pulling one of those hands.
Build up a good rapport with the other players. If everyone is friendly (and you have a full table) you can ask who has the bug. If no one fesses up, it's pretty good odds that the dealer has it. If that's the case be prepared for the flush or straight in the high hand (which usually means a very weak low hand). Get your low hand as good as possible even if it means sacrificing your high hand to do it (like splitting up two low pairs).
Don't drink. You will make bad decisions.
If you are stumped how to play a hand, ask the dealer how the house would play it. The house will ALWAYS play a hand the mathematically best way to play it, since they want to keep their edge. The dealers will always tell you how the house would play that hand, as well.
If you have the bankroll and want some more excitement, bank a hand. You can win big, or lose big. Just be sure to bet the minimum on the hand before you bank (the house will match your previous bet to play against you).
If the dealer starts crushing you over and over with monster hands... get up and walk away. Don't keep raising your bet because you are "due" to get a winning hand eventually.
Don't go thinking that your casino rewards card is getting a lot of points playing hours and hours of Pai Gow. PG poker is, I believe, the least effective time/rewards of all casino games because there are so many pushes and the game takes forever to deal a hand.
Now, back to the design grind... anyone know a good way to pick a handcuff with a mechanical pencil, a Hero Clix, and a poker chip?

I do, but I want the bug hunter badge for all the characters on my account, once that is agreed upon, I will set you free. D'oh, I mean I will tell you how to get yourself of of the cuffs.

Yanno Posi, you could always just go the easy way. Stab the jailer with the pencil in the temple, behind the eye and stir.
Hey Posi can you tell us about the snags thus far, and the status of a fix for the supergroup roster situation?
Unless of course thats issue 11
Since the dev's are chained up working, I thought I would show you where we allow them to play on a short term basis each day.

Ok, but I can't talk about Issue 11 or beyond... but that's pretty much what you guys WANT me to talk about so we are at an impass.

Not a problem. Lets talk Defense. Or blaster secondaries. Market dynamics? Tanker mechanics?
Hey, where's the fire? Come back!

Umm.. I'm happy to wait for any information on future issues.
I want to know,
Why you guys won't fix: MoG, Energy Aura, Consume, Fire Manipulation.
I eagerly await your response and appreciate your willingness to talk about anything other than Issue 11 and beyond!

The catch could be that any of those might be in Issue 11 and beyond

See... the tip after don't drink actually shows you how you are able to drink and play well. Get as smashed as you want. The dealer will still set your hand for you.
Pai Gow is one of the few table games I will play. You can sit there for hours some nights. And you might not win much but you won't lose much either. Try sitting down at Caribbean Stud some night where you have to double your bet to stay in and catch a few hands of dealer good luck or personal bad luck and watch a hundred bucks vanish.
