Yes, it is more likely we would make that profit on the 11/5 game. Rob would agree but he doesn't say that. I know he would agree because he says he plays the best pay table available.
As far as the greed comment: playing the best pay table doesn't mean you'll win. We all agree, don't we? Rob is also saying there is a risk of giving back in the same session that which you just won, so he leaves with a big win.
I think Rob is just reflecting on what we have all experienced: we should have quit when ahead.
Of course there are some of you "super players" who never lose, so "quitting when ahead" is meaningless to you. The concept of "quitting when ahead" applies to us mere mortals.
