Why would anyone play a losing game, whether at $5, $25, or $100? "Casino Philanthropist" is not my title. I detect some disdain for playing 25-cents video poker -- we AP's banging away at 25-cents deuces and so on. I find this disdain really funny given that what I wager in other venues undoubtedly dwarfs anything you do or have ever done. Another thing you seem to miss is that "Advantage Play" can refer to anything -- video poker, poker, blackjack, sports betting, so the mentality needs to be consistent.
