RE: [vpFREE] Re: Scot Krause's Slot Club Spotlight - 8 MAR 2016

 

I'm not writing about the past. I review the current club and provide the
info. If I find some positives about the place (i.e. good food, good vp,
good club rate, etc) I will mention those, but generally try to remain
neutral and objective. Btw, I do not write the headlines that accompany the
article that often sounds very complimentary.

Regards,

Scot

I don't think Ellis deserves to get a nice writeup in your column. They made
some pretty drastic changes to their club about a year ago and it was not
for the better. Plus, what happened to all the freeplay that people had
earned before the changes were made? I don't know how to say it politely
except it was a dirty move on management's part. And if you look at their
website they still brag about their rewards for best slot club from 2008 and
2012, but that is deceptive and disingenuous because it is now a completely
different slot club, again, for the worse. They need to take that "bragging"
off of their website. They know it, I know it, everyone knows it. Very
misleading and not trustworthy.

For all of the above, I feel you should have just skipped them in your list
of clubs to cover. They don't deserve a good writeup after the way they
treated their longtime players. So if you can't write a truthful and
negative review about them, then just give them the silent treatment. If you
don't tell the whole story, then it takes away from the credibility of this
column.

Fair enough. I can't disagree with that logic. If I was a former player there I'd feel exactly the same way.

I know it's not like the "old days" now, and I understand Scot's column is non-critical, but as I said, Ellis did some dirty stuff to their players. I just said they don't DESERVE to have a nice review.

At the very least, people should know that when they see the glowing accolades on Ellis' website like "voted best club of 2008 and 2012", it was an entirely different animal back then and those rewards don't mean nothing now. It is deceptive of Ellis to leave that on their website.

[vpFREE] Strategy Charts on Iphone or App Store

 

I have been very active in the Video Poker in years. In the past I used Frugal Video Poker to generate strategy charts.


These days i only own an Ipad and an Iphone. I don't even touch my desktop.


Is there an Iphone/Ipad app that allows you to generate strategy charts or look at strategy charts? I see some apps like Winpoker will give you suggestions but I look at the actual strategy charts.


Thanks for your help,

I concur! But Scott has never written a spotlight article from a gamblers point of view that I know of? Silver Sevens club is another disaster for the gambler compared to Terribles that Scott was positive about!

Re: [vpFREE] Re: CET buffet promo in Vegas

 

I was in the poker room at the Flamingo on Friday and was told by many people that this is the last day for the buffet promotion. Although nobody was 100% sure.

Not only is DD very good at working TR, he is very good at explaining the hoops that TR makes you jump through and how to avoid many of them. He also has other valuable contributors in this section of the forum. So it's a pretty good site for those trying to learn how to work TR for all it's worth.

But be forewarned. Others sections of the site are troll infested. There is at least one troll that some of you will be very familiar with.

It appears to me that his motivation is quite simple, Total Rewards defrays his expenses (travel, meals, lodging) for playing poker tournaments around the country. Plus, he likes to take his family on cruises.

Not only is DD very good at working TR, he is very good at explaining the hoops that TR makes you jump through and how to avoid many of them. He also has other valuable contributors in this section of the forum. So it's a pretty good site for those trying to learn how to work TR for all it's worth.

But be forewarned. Others sections of the site are troll infested. There is at least one troll that some of you will be very familiar with.
