?
What makes you think you would play that much slower? or that much
faster? (100 hands an hour?)
If you think you can automatically spot every one of these situations
every time WITHOUT slowing down then you are kidding yourself. My
estimate of 100 hands/hour may actually be too small for the average
person.
Why should we not get better?
We should. That is exactly what I said ... maybe you should read my
post before responding. I told you exactly how to "get better", Bob
only told you how to play more accurately which is not the same thing.
Whats wrong with somebody selling somthing to make money in America?
Nothing. However, if they are disguising their money making attempts
as a way to help readers, when they are much more likely to cost the
vast majority of readers money, then I think it's appropriate for
that FACT to be pointed out. Do you have something against the truth?
If we get too good we wont make Money?
Nonsense. Looks like you missed the point entirely. Maybe you should
go back and reread my post as it will HELP you make MORE money.
I would lose money if I try to get better because Bob Dancer says I
should ?
You will lose money if you try to do more than you are capable of
doing. In almost every endeavor there is a concept known as
diminishing returns. At some point it diminishes so much it costs
MORE than the gain. That is the point.
What about if Skip or Jean Scott says I should? Will I make money ?
It's not the messenger ... it's the message. If either of them had
written this article my position wuld be unchanged.
Dont they sell info too?
If you have a point maybe you should state it.
What does "personal accurate speed" mean ?
It means the fastest speed at which a person is comfortable and
playing accurately. It's "personal" because it's different for
everyone. When anyone tries to play too fast they will lose accuracy.
By the very nature of VP the number of situations that is being
checked for on every hand will be a factor in the speed. I read your
description of multiple progressives below so I know you understand
this point. Why are you playing dumb?
If I am "accurate" wont that mean I know the "details" already ?
No one plays perfectly except a computer. Therefore, accuracy can
ONLY mean a range of values somewhere below perfect when referring to
us mere humans. That range of values and the law of diminishing
returns is something you need to spend a little time thinking about.
Was it not a 21 cent increase IF you got the ?'s in part one all
right FIRST ?
Yes and no. The increase was additive but by the very nature of the
game, I'm sure there are some dependencies on understanding part I
first.
DB tuff game to play well much less perfect.
Now you're getting the point.
I also do not play it perfect YET as I too ignore most penalty
cards
but that does not mean we are right.
It might. If applying more details slows you down so much that you
are losing more EV than you are gaining and/or you are making more
major errors because you don't see the forest for the trees. (cliche
intended). If you start focusing on inside straights or FL3 penalties
and miss a pair just how long do you think it will take to make up
the difference.
Those that can like Mr Dancer play it perfect are right,
Bob Dancer does not play perfectly. I don't play perfectly. Neither
does any human.
Those of us
who cant are wrong. I can live with it for DB , but not for NSUD.
It took a while but I do play that game perfect now.
I doubt that very much. Are you absolutely sure you SEE every single
play on every hand? If you can answer "yes" to this question and you
are playing a +EV situation, then you are probably losing money
playing so slowly.
& wait until you are trying to figure out the correct plays for a 5
way .25 DDB progs, If the royal is $1745 is the ace/10 playable?
Would a $674 4aces with kicker affect your decision? What about 4
to
a royal over a pair of queens? 3 to a royal over high pair?
At what level ,if any, does a single ace becoms a better play than
four to a flush? Or better than a small pair? or better than a pair
of jacks?
If four 2's, 3's or 4's plus kicker is $325 Would a FH of 2's 3,s
4,s over a pair be worth tossing ? What about $410 ? or ever?
Since this the best .25 game by far at my local Native casino I had
to know even if DDB is not my favorite game. ( & a royal pain in
the
ass to learn)
It sounds like you're reiterating my point. BTW, the game I play most
often is OEJs. It makes DB and your DDB progressive seem like child's
play in comparison. I would never attempt to learn OEJs perfectly as
it would be a waste of time and yet I know it probably better than
almost anyone. The reason ... the law of diminishing returns.
