Gee Frank. I'm not asking you to reveal the magical bus stop machine or the secret handshake.
My point is that there is no non-progressive game that offers a positive paytable without a royal.
If there is please correct me.
Edited to add: and yes, my first table was with Men The Master Nguyen, and later I was with him when there were only four tables left in the tournament. I wrote about my thoughts about playing with Men here: http://alanbestbuys.com/id145.html
