Bob didn't make a calculation. He made an excellent guess. I suspect that if anyone who knew him and saw him playing that machine, he might have gotten another "how the mighty have fallen" statement. But this story actually shows what a consumate pro he is. Video poker might be my objective for being in a casino, but anytime I get a chance to pick off a little play like that, I jump on it. I consider it to be extra cashback on the video poker play.
If you want to learn how to analyze these plays then go to post #122170 and follow the thread. Everything you need to know.
