The Anti-Christ Of Video Poker?

#1

I can't believe all this concern over what one video poker writer
has to say about his own personal strategy for playing the games.
Namely Rob Singer. You'ed think he was the Anti-Christ of video poker
or something.
  Why his opinions should raise such a fury is beyond me. I thought
this site was for the free, open discussion of ideas and theories on
gambling, not
a closed minded site that has to cater to a select few who can't
handle any ideas that don't go along with their popular views that we
all have been lead to believe to be the gospel truth. Or should I say
the "Undeniable Truth."
   I personally sure as hell don't agree with everything he says, but
I want to hear what he has to say just the same. If I listen to you
guys, all I get
is the same mathematical, statistical perfect mumbo-jumbo that I can
find on any old video poker web site.
Sure all you experts are right, and I mostly
agree with all of you, but it's boring as hell listening to you say
it.
   Lighten up guys and lets hear what he has to say. We're not all
idiots,except me perhaps, and can make up our own minds if what he is
saying is trash or not.

If anyone wants to know more about Rob Singer's ideas and theories,
you can read his columns and play strategies on his web site. The
links are on the vpFREE Rob Singer page:

If anyone wants to know what a really, really disruptive, chaotic,
video poker forum can be like, ask former members of the now
deceased vp_heaven Yahoo group, which was dominated by
never-ending, counter-productive discussions of Rob Singer's
ideas and theories.

If anyone wants to discuss Rob Singer's ideas and theories, or
why they're not going to receive a lot of ink on vpFREE, the
appropriate place is on FREEvpFREE:

I'm posting vppappy's message and this response on
FREEvpFREE, and will be glad to discuss any Rob Singer
issues there.

I agree. The "right' way to play makes video poker boring. I hardly
ever play any more because I usually start nodding off within a few
minutes. Although I don't envy what I believe to be their expected
value, I envy players who haven't learned to play the "right" way. It
must be fun to have each hand be a guessing game. The difference is
probably something like the difference between being able to watch a
tennis match live and not know who won and watching it on tape after
knowing who won. And who is to say that what those who play "right"
buy with their winnings is any more valuable than the extra fun that
those who guess on every hand have?

Doing something right is its own reward - literally in the case of
VP. Those looking for mystery & thrills because they are bored making
money without working have many other avenues to explore far from the
VP field.

"Right" assumes that the purpose for which the act is done is sacred.
