For people who have "Win Poker" or" Frugal Video Poker," you can
run session simulations without going to the casino and risking your
bankroll. I'll use "Win Poker" because I'm more used to it. If you
have not tried this yet, give it a try, you might be surprised at the
results.

Take the advice of one of VP Pappy's best friends, Sumner A Ingmark,
who also is a very close friend of gambling expert Al Krigman, who
waxed poetically:
"Those who understand statistics, know the games aren't ruled by
mystics."
--Sumner A Ingmark
"Letting basic strategy determine how you play, cannot guarantee
you'll win, but often saves the day."
