Certainly well deserved. I have been following Mike's work since he
had just a small website and time to answer and debate any inquiry.
He has always been fair and competent and ready to develop strategy
for even obscure games like Foxwoods's old "Catch a Wave" which was
once a fine game to play while waiting to get a live poker seat.

I'm hoping someday he will visit Costa Rica and work on their BJ
variation called "Rummy" where three card straights or trips win
money. Then on my next visit there I will know what to do in that
game.

I share his simple VP strategy sheets with newbies because they are so
very easy to follow. Even Deuces is reduced to a sheet that follows
the player's thinking. As well as being a top notch mathematician,
after thirty years of teaching public school I can attest to the fact
that Mike is a master at making complicated information available in
formats that can be understandable.

Fine honor. Congratulations.

I agree also... a wonderful website... I voted for Mike last year, and
had him as my vote this year but switched to Tom Ski at the last minute
as I use his VPSM charts so much and recommend them to anyone wanting
to learn more about video poker. I wish they both would have gotten
in...next year for Tom.

I have printer out his Blackjack Cards and used them effectively. The nice thing is that I can make them as large as I want for my aged eyes. Saves me the buck for the hard to read cards at the gift shops.

Thanks Mike, you have made my Vegas trips a lot more enjoyable (when you lose less than you expect and have lots of fun)
