With all the Jean Scott talk going on I wanted to chime in and give her a plug. I've been on this video poker train since before Skip Hughes and John Kelly created their web sites, much less the rise and fall of Video Poker Player magazine. Skip, we miss you.
For pretty much all that time Jean has been involved in forums like this of various sorts. I've met her a few times and had dinner with her and Brad when some groups have met up. Don't know her personally really, but what I will say is that in all that time she has been one of the nicest and most willing to help people in Video Poker. The idea that she is somehow exploiting people by getting information from them then profiting from it in some sinister way doesn't ring true to me at all.
I ended up with her phone number after an event at the Venetian where we were coordinating some stuff and on a later Vegas trip to the LVH to play All American I forgot my strategy card. Not knowing where else to turn I called Jean and she was nice enough to let a (mostly) stranger come over and printed me off an AA strategy card (and no she didn't charge me).
Now has she profited from her work as well as Bob, Skip, John and others? Sure. Has their work likely hurt pay tables and comps? Sure. But if it wasn't them it would have been someone else. What I know for sure is that I have definitely profited greatly from their works and am grateful for them shining a light on the path.
Makes me nostalgic for the 4-play quarter FPDW Lucky Draw machines at Sam's Town. Those were the days...
