If Bob's wife doesn't get lucky while potshotting a $100 machine would
there be a book called Million Dollar Video Poker? Bob Dancer was
good at what he did and in the right place at the right time with the
bankroll to pull it off. But those plays quickly went extinct because
he did pull it off. He had a 6 month window. No one else will ever
have that opportunity with the edge he had. As for Dan Paymar, read
the logic of the message, not the messenger.

First of all, I'm curious about your handle. Are you an Oregon State
alum, or is there a more interesting reason behind your nickname?
When Shirley gets asked this question, she usually answers, "I was only
playing because Bob held a gun at my back and I was pretty sure it was
loaded!"
Humor aside, on the evening in question, we were playing two machines at
once. I was at the $25 machine and she was at the $100 machine, which
was located in such a position that I could easily watch her play from
where I was sitting. Every hand on her machine was "supervised". It
wasn't a question of her not knowing the strategy, because she'd been
playing this game on a supervised basis for so long that she had every
hand 100% mastered, it was just that $500-a-hand stakes were outside of
our comfort zone and we wanted to be extra sure that she didn't mess up
by oversight. I don't remember the hundreds of hands she played that
night remember specifically, but I doubt that I had to correct her.
Whenever her machine locked up (which it did on $1,500 3-of-a-kinds and
higher), I'd play the $25 machine while waiting for her to be paid. When
she was playing, I would stop my game and her machine would get both of
our complete attention.
The DECISION to play that particular game at that particular time,
though, was completely mine --- and literally over Shirley's kicking and
screaming. Figuring out we had such a big edge was a big part of the
reason for the play, and that was something that I had figured out and
most other pros at the time hadn't. (And there were PLENTY of pros who
played regularly at the MGM in those days.) Deciding on the bankroll
loss limits was my responsibility.
In our family, most video poker decisions are mine to make. Most
decisions about everything else are Shirley's responsibility.
