While I do not post often, and am a NOVICE compared with many players in the
group, I wholeheartedly agree with Skip's comments. When I began playing VP
about a year and a half ago, I was in NO way capable of playing any VP, and
my empty win bucket was proof of that.
That was then, this is now:
I will NOT learn at the casino. I won't practice on those web sites that
offer it.
I only practice on WinPker, and will not play the game at the casino until
my % correct play is at least 99.7 and a consistent speed of 550/hour. I
slow down considerably at the casino, but am somewhat successful at the end
of the day (my sister-in-law at our last outing said: Ted, you now have a
part time job playing Video Poker). While certainly that is not true, it
did sound nice.
Royal Futures to all,
Ted

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Easiest Way to Learn?
This is one that Paymar, Dancer, Scott, Wong. Catlin, Tomski, Wolf,
Zamzow, and every smart video poker player will all agree on. Basically,
it's ridiculous. If one played a whole lot of 100-play (or better yet
1,000 play), you would defintely get some kind of perspective, but
there's no way you would derive a usable strategy. And the idea of
playing for money while you are doing this, is insane.
Practice on VP software is the way to learn video poker.

Guys/Girls,
Recently while reading "Video Poker For The Winner," by Marten
Jensen, I came across this statement:
"If you play a particular type of machine often enough, you will
eventually get to know the strategy--and that is the easiest way to
learn."
--Marten Jensen
Although I have the deepest respect for Mr. Jensen as a writer,
is it just me, or does this not ring true?

strategies over and over again, are doomed to repeat their losses
over and over again."
