    Quoted from mof:

    There are 10 fundamentals that must be mastered to win Pinburg. I will discuss one of the ten.
    Lesson 8 of 10: Calibration.
    Phase 1: Learn to read the personality of a machine ASAP. You gotta dance gracefully, right on the beat with every girl in the gym like you're Bing Crosby.
    Phase 2: ???
    Phase 3: Profit
    Or, if you spend your first few minutes at a new machine getting frustrated that it isn't behaving the way you expect, then you haven't learned to calibrate quick enough to compete at a high level.
    Get your calibration time down as low as you can. Approach a game "listening" for how it's playing...
    Yoda out...

    Which is why I think playing on location is a valuable thing - learn to adjust to differing conditions, and quickly.
