[QUOTE=JustaDiamind;32926]I think what everyone is missing is this.. Robs 'special' plays are nothing more then a Hail Mary hoping to dig him out of a hole his 'system' dug him into.. he was so far down even quad queens wouldn't have dug him out for that 'session'.. so this ONE time he got lucky and got the royal.. how often does that happen ??

Completely untrue....and an excellent example of others attempting to criticize or otherwise wrongly explain a facet of my strategy that they do not fully understand. Hail Mary's are understood to be a high-risk/last-ditch effort used to turn a near-sure loser into a surprise winner. The special plays I developed are used on the very first hand of the session or on any future hands of the session, and are used if I'm even, behind, or ahead less than my pre-determined win goal.

Those 3 Q's I tossed were because hitting four Q's on $25 BP would not have allowed me to profit enough in order to reach the most important of mini-win goals in my strategy: winning enough to be able to recoup all $25 BP losses plus all losses at the $10 level so that I can go back to restart at a lower denomination $10 BP. This was a very unusual play that gets used only late in the 100 BP credits, and is not used in any of the advanced games regardless of how many credits I'm into it for. Reason: minimum $6250 is too high a win compared to the value of the Royal.
