Thread: A refresher course in discipline

    I think many people would like you to demonstrate how you play... but you always seem to demand some sort of fee or financial challenge to make that happen.

    That's not entirely true. I've demonstrated it for MANY players when I was training them and still would given the time. Then there's Frank, and I've been asking you to learn for years. What you're referring to is the big mouth critics who make stupid and envy-laced claims that I'm a liar and fraud etc. because "there's no way he can win all that money on negative EV games". Those type people of course have gotten challenged to bets to see me play. They ask for it.

    It's easy. Go to a 5/10/25/50/$1 machine and put in 4 hundies. Play the ARTT strategy-it's fun!-and if you get behind and a situation for a special play occurs, figure out if you should use an optimal or special play to get back to scratch PLUS a 5 credit bonus. Use a win goal you feel comfortable with. Any of you guys could afford that.

    There is nothing wrong with win goals -- I use them. The problem I have is willingly going into the hole by ten thousand dollars or more just to win $1,000. That doesn't make sense to me.

    And for a player at a smaller denomination, such as what slingshot mentioned above, just what is the targeted win goal with a $400 buy-in?

    And adding to my dismay about the whole thing, Rob got out of his hole not with a "special play" (because it was too late for a special play -- he was in too deep) but with a conventional strategy play.

    This again attacks the whole effectiveness of Rob's special play strategy: it works before you lose much money, but when you are deep in a hole you may need a conventional play to bail you out.

    Now, in all fairness to Rob, he once broke up trip queens to hold three to the royal and got the royal because he was in another deep hole and needed the royal to bail him out. So that was a "special play" that came to the rescue. And that example supports his strategy.

    But what happened in his latest "big win" does not support his strategy at all. In fact, it shows its weakness.

    Alan, I don't think a win goal is always an end goal. So, If I set the win goal at $50 in the example above, I would merely start my second session-probably on another machine-depending on how I felt. The point is that sometimes the big ones DO hit and that's the key. As far as special plays vs. optimal play, it's merely the one that's necessary to either return and start over or to recover with a good win.

    Anyone who believes a person living in a trailer can afford to bet $125/hand is pretty gullible right off the bat.

    Slingshot,

    So in this case you win goal isn't $50? Your win goal is "several $50 goals"? So then are you saying you could play several sessions one after another and reach the $50 each time? Why not play 20 sessions a day every day and bank $1000/day? That way you could have a quarter million dollars in about 8 months!

    Alan, that last statement is dumb. How exactly does not making a special play because the strategy doesn't call for it at that point, point to a weakness in strategy? If I were only down $8900 at the time, the special play would have been made and I would have attained my win goal either way. And why keep saying things don't make sense to you when I use a sizeable bankroll and am willing to go in the "hole" as you call it, all for "just" a $1000 profit? Here's the same flash on that as I've explained to you a dozen times: ALL WINS ARE NOT JUST $1000! Have you noticed?

    You might be better off being the manager of eddie and arci's club of those who keep trying to tell themselves that it hurts too much to see RS win so big, so keep on throwing out scenarios where it just isn't true. That's how they cope. In you I see someone who can understand if they want to. Arci has his own demons that'll eat away at him the rest of his days. Eddie's simply jealous. Understandable. Me? I'm having a GREAT Christmas again this year!

    If everything you posted here were true Rob, who wouldn't be jealous? So how about posting a picture of the W-2G form you received from the casino in Tunica? I want to believe, truly I do.
