They'd treat him with kid gloves because he's been one of their "own" over the years, but I've noticed he's beginning to come to his senses over the past few. Most of what he's saying to do in his article is the same as I've said since coming onto the vp scene, so it's a sure bet he's been reading videopoker.com and Gaming Today for the decade or so that they ruled that particular world.
The "one long session" thing....that's recently been fortified by the truly misled--but well-meaning compared to most others--beliefs of Frank Kneeland. These guys want to believe the machines and their RNG's - which are masters of that long term - will totally cooperate with the relatively very short amount of time each of them play at a particular machine, or for their lifetime as a matter of fact. They (esp. Frank) spend months reading up on the math books and somehow then expect the casino experience to mirror what happens on the chalkboards in class.
To bolster that type of belief, we've seen him and others try to convince us that they only play better when they play two machines at the same time, rocking back & forth between them like mindless kooks. But that's the price paid for inexperience and a lack of educational background on such issues. I've worked in the aerospace industry with fighter pilots for 15 years, and when given simple tasks to perform their efficiency went down BIG TIME the faster they tried and the longer they kept going. Playing video poker is no different--only these "experts" are hardly educated to the scientific degree fighter pilots are--and if you've seen some of them at the machines what you're really looking at is the lower level of society. After all, who else would supposedly play video poker for an, eh-em "living" instead of getting a real job and have benefits waiting for them when they retire? It's as if they've given up in life and know there's nothing waiting for them out there, as is for normal folks. Why do you think Bob Dancer has kept working regular jobs all these years? He's not stupid by any stretch.
