RE: [vpFREE] Re: Hands per hour

It's actually a skill you can hone. Many years ago I saw a special on ESPN about skilled athletes and their ability to process information the eyes see and act upon it. Elite hitters in baseball, for example, have an ability to see and process things that the average person can't. It's not the "seeing" part or even "hand-eye coordination" that is the key, it's the "processing" part that makes them stand-out. The special showed the exercises athletes would do to help develop that skill set. Tony Gwynn (I think) would look at a white screen and a circle of light the size of a baseball would be flashed on it which contained 4 random numbers. He would work the speed faster and faster to hone his ability to process what his eyes saw. He could pull 4 numbers out of a flash and call them out before my mind even processed that there had been a flash. He would do the same thing with a circle of light that moved in a circle on the screen. I couldn't following the light, let alone even see the numbers inside of it. His eyes could follow the light and process what they saw at speeds that were unbelievable. Some NFL WR would stare at a board of lights which would illuminate in a random manner. He would touch each light as it illuminated. He could go so fast it defied explanation. There were other similar exercises that they would do to help.

In short, I believe Frank's speed as I have seen first-hand people who can see, process, and react more quickly than I would ever believe possible.

I'm just an occasional visitor to Vegas, but I remember once about six years ago I stopped by the Palms and I saw this guy playing a machine in a blazingly fast manner. I was still a VP newbie back then and I'd like to see that guy again so I could get a clue how he was doing it. I do remember, though, that he stuck out like a sore thumb to me because it was so impressive. I remember thinking to myself that there could be no way whoever that guy was could stay under the casino's radar as an extremely skilled player.

I don't know who he was, but I've never seen anyone else approach how fast this guy was. It was more than impressive, it was freakish! lol
