Some people might get irritated by my Undeniable Truth books, columns and wherever I've posted since 2000, but you've never seen me use vulgarity, write about sex while playing video poker just to get my jollies, tell my wife I'd rather not drop my addiction to video poker and instead ignore my wedding vows, carry on a totally disgusting ruse about being a military officer just to impress people, brag about stealing breakfasts at hotels, or hooking up with a known felon on a trip back east for a quick buck or two.
Most people in the vp community haven't got the stomach or the will to call him what he is--a total creep. I've caught him in a number of lies in his column over the years when I wrote for GT and I exposed them. His publisher at Casino Times Adam Fine had angry back & forths with me whenever I wrote about falsities in his articles there.
Dancer & Compton both threatened to sue me over writing & exposing the truth and when I welcomed it they quickly changed their tune. They really had no interest in trying to disprove what I kept finding. My publisher, Chuck DiRocco, was having a BLAST over reading all the adventures as he called them. (DiRocco fired Dancer & Skip Hughes at the same time, when he went out and got me). Now of course, Dancer's stupid enough to keep writing about how despicable he can be, perhaps because he's grown tired of me digging up his dirt. He writes about it--I opine about it; that's the way of the world. If people don't like it then tough love. The big difference, of course, is that now I'm comfortably retired, and he's doing the same old routine of work-play-work-write-sell-train & teach-classes-for-a-fee video poker nonsense he's always done and needs to always do, with no children, no grandchildren, and no way out at such an advanced age. People ask for these things and they sure do get them.
From the start I've always said that no one should get into the very addictive habit of vp unless and until they've totally prepared for it. Dancer comes along and claims to have had a $6k bankroll and made a living playing vp, while in reality he was always working for wages at multiple jobs. I've also been an advocate of putting your personal life first. Yet we have a slew of bad examples out there, such as Dancer and his antics, we've seen what arci did to his, Skip Hughes wrecked his finances and never recovered before he died, Frank Kneeland was a total chain-smoking mess with no hope of marriage--or a normal life--ever, mickeycrimm simply spun out of control years ago and is now paying for it dearly, and I even believe Alan would have a far better overall life had he never got into casino gambling. So the more I write about my strict preparation, the ability to control what I'm doing instead of allowing the casinos to control you, and my very normal family-oriented life I live which is the way we all hope our retirement will turn out, the more irritation and feelings of incompetence there is to go around.
So you tell me--do I sound like I need hospitalization? Or does this collection of misfits and confused life-wreckers seem they could have used a helping hand somewhere along the way? :)
I simply smile at all that, because EVERYONE's had the opportunity to get a lesson or two for free from me the past 16 years.
