Gentlemen:
I am in no way a mouthpiece for Bob Dancer. I am one of the larger
players of VP per day when I come to Vegas. You can ask Pete Landi
at Wynn for verification if you choose. Bob Dancer has done more for
the education of Video Poker players than 99+% of those of us who use
this blog. I know all the Optimum play rules including penalty cards
for several games, but but since I never will reach the long term
perfect bell curve shape in my playing lifetime I deviate from
optimum play rules because they may not be optimum for me (relatively
few hands of 100 way play at max coin in) and I have I very high
risk/reward tolerance. Yes I need some pure luck to win.
Even though I don't play like Bob Dancer does not mean I don't
respect what he has done for our hobby/sport/
has done more than he for the game. Cut the man some slack and let
him maximize his income. He has a PHD and written many tomes in his
field of expertise and makes a good living. That's the American
way. He has contributed more benefits to more of us VP players than
he can possibly make in $ for himnself. An editorial from Denny.
