I keep repeating this. It seems to capture the essence of what's being claimed. Mr. Mendelson and Argentino refuse to state what is wrong with this simple, clear assessment of what's being claimed.

Argentino plays sub-optimally by design, yet he employs systems that he claims allow him to outperform optimal play. Certainly this is the case, or he would simply play optimally.

Now what have I gotten wrong?

It could be that, presented thus clearly and simply, without error, the oxymoronic nature of what's being claimed sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.
You too. You keep saying the same false information over and over again. Rob doesn't play sub optimal video poker by design. When will that sink in?

He could play loose deuces or any of the 100%+ Deuces games but he doesn't and for one reason: except for the royal and 2222 there's no money on it. I'm probably telling you that for the first time.

He will play video poker by the book with rare exceptions. And if you want to hang him over the rare exceptions then go fucking do it. Just stop lying.

And as I told AxelWolf I don't play Rob's way. But damn't I'm not going to let you lie about what he does and twist what he says. Maybe he's right because the Dancer method hasnt done me much good.
Thats because you are not playing the Dancer method. You play negative EV. Thats not the Dancer method. He plays positive EV.
