It's nice to hear or read the various "Trip Reports" from different
players (pro, semi-pro, intermediate, beginners) and it's always nice
to hear when the end result is something like "...and we or I went
home a winner".
What would be nicer to hear is if information like "What strategy was
used: Long-term or Short-term?", "Approximately how much was won or
lost", "How much bankroll is involved?", "How much playing time is
involved?", "How much fun they had?", etc.
In Rob Singer's columns, he usually put down how much he had won from
a trip and occasionally how much he had lost (we already know he uses
the Short-term strategy). In many cases, his winnings are pretty good
like that $40,000 plus that he mentioned not too long ago. The amount
he had mentioned he had lost so far seems to be very small. Is this
the truth? --- hopefully, but we don't know of course.
It will be nice to hear the other side of the story: from someone who
uses the Long-term strategy --- what kind of winnings and losses have
been encountered in those casino trips.
From these reports and since we all have different goals (long and
short terms) in vp playing, I think we can all benefit from seeing
which strategy would be better to use in a given situation.
