First a correction: I meant to type in my website www.vptruth.com instead of "videopoker.com". That's a true hack site.

Not for one minute do I believe the "math guys" actually ever believe what they espouse about the "it's only one long session" BS. They have to take a position, and since many of them write books, articles, and blab about the theory of it all with shameless by-line advertising on the forums in order to put other people's money into their pockets, they certainly won't agree with what you & I do. The reason John Grochowski said what he did is because he's always been a sensible guy, and it makes sense.

I know Frank's a big advocate of playing two machines at once because he told me so. The problem is, here's where his lack of scholarly conditioning comes into play. He probably doesn't realize that by saying this--although it makes him appear as a more lightening fast player than the other guys--he would never bow to the fact that he's making a much higher rate of errors and therefore he's playing much less proficiently. The "incognitive mind" would never associate faster play with a higher rate of errors because it just does not compute in the theoretical world.

I did a Gaming Today column on this subject. It was about an "AP" named John Kelly, who was a compadre and business associate with Skippy Hughes, you know, the famed AP who went broke from playing advantage vp and left LV in total humiliation. Well, I was at the Hard Rock one night in the early 2000's after just finishing up a session where I won $4900, and there was Kelly--pounding away on two 25c 8/5BP 50-play machines because they were having a multiple points special. In the maybe 25 minutes I stood behind him, I saw at least 20 errors in holds from optimal play, and those were the only ones I remember counting because from behind and with all the rocking he was doing, I couldn't keep up with his fury. The article was entitled: Hard-Rockin On 50-Play and I wish I could find it. The poor guy looked SO stupid playing both machines and firing in the hundreds faster than the machines could eat them up. He must've lost $3000 while I was there and on one hand he was dealt four Aces.
