Article says: "So far, over the course of 500 hours, he says, he averages about $135 per hour in profits, playing at the $20- or $40-bet level."
Translation?: $135/hr at 20-40 limit (=$10 denomination machine, =6.75BB/hr)
Why?
The article tells you they had to dumb the bot down in order to get any interest. But maybe that's just an excuse, maybe their technique for making a bot is not so hot. Sure it bluffs and can fold at the river at a reasonable frequency now, but is that all there is to winning poker?
Last paragraph of the article sums it up when writer is in Vegas and catches up with Chan:
"...I asked him if he thought anyone could win big over the long haul, beyond what Mike Reed has managed to grind out. "Nothing is impossible," Chan said. Then he added that some people see Texas Hold 'Em Heads Up Poker as a potential gold mine. "You probably have five groups out there right now, testing the machine, writing down all the results, getting every play blow by blow and figuring out what to do on every hand. One hundred percent, I'm sure there are teams working on it..."
HAL2000 is on the way.

bob - Thanks for your input. I see how knowing a couple games could really be beneficial. I picked DW because the wild card for me made it a little more fun. Like you said, the basic strategy isnt that hard. The optimal strategy seems alot more complicated... My goal is to be able to play 100 hands without any mistakes. When I can do that ill reward myself by taking a trip to Vegas and play. I got some work to do... So far only have been able to get around 30 hands with no mistakes.
I will check out your suggestion for Dan Paymar. I currently do own WinPoker which I believe is from Bob Dancer. Really like the program alot! Also got it for my iphone which I play even more than the computer version.
Thanks Again!
Chad

I only used Palms points for freeplay during June-Aug and they were deducted correctly at the time. I'm surprised that the Palms didn't fix this problem much sooner like in June when it first happened.

On or about August 28th, the Palms Casino deducted points on my account for points used in earlier months. Specifically, points I used for the restaurants (mostly buffet) from June 21st to August 21st. Players club said the Palms (computer system) wasn't deducting points off, during the June-Aug period, so in late Aug, they deducted a lump sum. Anyone else run into this situation?

I don't know if this information has been previously posted. You can buy $50 of slot play for $25 for use on NCL cruises. The coupons expire in a year & only 1 coupon can be used every 14 days per person. The web site is https://slotplaycoupons.com/destination/Norwegian+Cruise+Line/.
I have no personal interest in this web site & I just tried it for the first time. They also offer $40 slot play for $25 for Palms LV.
Good luck fro Bob B.

I stand corrected. I took a good look this time and there are no more 9/7 DB in any denomination. I also did not see traditional 8/5 BP either.

>9/7 DB exists in .25, .50 and $1. They are located just West of Banana Leaf restaurant.I didn't see any of these today. The best I found was Illinois Deuces

Type "Vpfree2.com" into your search engine and voila.
That's my workaround and sticking to it.
vpfree is showing in a different format. How can I see the VP casino database?

Others have offered very valid reasons for the popularity of JoB and BP over Deuces. I play JoB often for those reasons. However, I really enjoy deuces wild and play that even more often than JoB (FP deuces or NSUD). The variance is higher than JoB, but not incredibly high (compared to things like DB, DDB, etc). Deuces strategy is a little more complicated to learn than JoB, but again, not excessively so. I like the higher EV, and frankly just find it more fun than JoB or BP. I'd suggest that you learn strategies for both. Depending on how well you are doing in mastering deuces, you might find it easier to master JoB first, then move to deuces. You might also find the strategy cards offered by Dan Paymar worthwhile - they are clearly presented and easy to use. and I suggest that you buy a software package (like Paymar's and/or Bob Dancer's) for practice at home if you haven't already done so.
Good luck and happy playing!
Bob in San Antonio.

I can't imagine what a "pat four" would be.
