He knew about quickhits, but apparently not this other machine. It is a lot of fun finding machines.

Mickey is an impressive dude. Too bad he doesn't work to finish his book instead of spending his effort on here trying to convince everyone else they're wasting their time on here. I listened to the GWAE with him again. This guy did 10th grade math, never algebra then went to a library for gambling stuff and was lost at the math. Found a book that does poker odds longform and from there intuitively understands how the odds work.

I'm far more interested in hearing about the old plays and how they all evolved. That stuff will likely be lost in history in some weird way. Video games are preserved, but this stuff isn't. Who gives a fuck about his 'plays' .. it is his explaining of his methodology that was useful. Anyone with enough wits can network or find this stuff on their own.
Other than that MickeyCrimm seemed to be calling me a liar, I don't have a problem with him. If he was getting away with whatever he was doing, more power to him.


The other comment you make is valid too actually - better to spend time writing a book than giving all your content to forums. But, it's a lot easier to post a little here and there than sit down and complete an entire manuscript, so even if a person has the intent to write an entire story, it's easy to get sucked into just posting a bit here and there online. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas started as just a series of articles, ended up a book.
