[vpFREE] Short Pay Strategy Question?

[vpFREE4]

Hmmm, they didn't PAY short last time I was in Vegas, when I walked out
of the Mirage with a $300 profit after about 15 minutes, as well as
NYNY for another dealt SF on $1 BP, as well as 4s after holding a
single 4.

Then there was Harrah's Tunica where I nailed 2s after holding a lone
2. Time & time again it pays off, pretty much every time out, either
Aces or 2-4. They're a bonus quad....why on EARTH would you not snipe
for them the times you have nothing else to hold? If you throw them
away on the draw obviously you have no chance at all of hitting them.
I'd rather take the chance then hoping for a measly jacks or better
payoff over & over.....booorrrrring.

As I said, I don't play for hours & hours, nor without a goal. Going
for the Bonus hands clearly makes the most common sense.

Bad enough that you have to play short pay machines, but at least,
play them properly.

You give up much when you hold a lone 2,3,or 4 and this alone will
ultimately break you.

If I did it, I certainly would not advertise it.

This kind of logic will eventually cost you. You could easily use the
same logic to hold any "10" going for a RF. Heck, you could hold any
low card going for a SF (which is worth more than 2,3,4s on BP).

You should purchase winpoker or FVP and study just how much this type
of play will cost you in the long run. I assume you are not going to
quit gambling and I can guarantee your "luck" will almost certainly
change using your strategy.

By the way, I believe Howard Stern was attempting to answer your
original question (what strategy changes are required?) with his
comment about 3RF. You should be careful about jumping on someone who
was simply trying to answer your question.
