My guess is BP is referring to the fact that the current video poker simulators have very little in common with the actual game of video poker in a casino. A noob could crush Video Poker for Winners and yet get absolutely corn holed and lose the family farm in an actual casino, I'm sure many have. What's the solution? If you must enter a casino, start slow, wager small bets, pennies if possible, and take full advantage of the many freebies that have no play requirements (free tournaments, free drawings, free gifts, free food, free rooms, credit for sitting at a machine or table while not actually wagering, and so on) or very small play requirements to build up your bankroll. Keep careful records, don't just assume you will get the computer optimal EV, because you probably will not. Las Vegas was built on Vegas Blackjack, which was an overlay, for a computer. Figure out (using statistics) what your true EV is looking like at small stakes, before even considering moving up to bigger stakes. Start out with a beginning strategy, like Jacks or Better Quads or Less, or min-cost-royal before moving up to something like Kelly strategy or maxEV which count on accumulating more hands to express their advantage.
