I no longer consider Las Vegas to be a video poker stop for me. It's a
poker stop. The money is better in the small blind no-limit games than
in video poker--with a hell of a lot less variance.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against players looking for cheap
vacations vis-a-vis video poker, or recreational players out to have a
little fun on the cheap.
But I'm a strictly for profit advantage gambler(pardon the
redundancy). I juat spent several months in Montana where my expenses
ran about $1800 a month for room, board, travel, misceleaneous. I
considered the first hour I played every day as paying the nut. It was
a trade off.
If I'm in downtown Las Vegas and the choice is the dollar 10/7 with
the .3125% CB at the 4 Queens or the 1/2 blind no-limit game at the
Golden Nugget, well, you'll find me in the Nugget Poker Room. I'll pay
my own nut to do it.
I'm not knocking the state of video poker today. I just deal with the
reality of it. I was able to cash in on the Montana play, an oddball
game that no one had ever heard of before much less published any
information on, because of the considerable time I spent teaching
myself the mathematics of the game. It's like Dan Paymar's quote of
Louis Pasteur, "chance favors the prepared mind."
No one can take my knowledge and experience from me. And I will
continue to use it in looking for video poker opportunities.
