I'm not sure it's what you would call BS. But yes, Rob did put up the proof that shows his "special plays" have a lower expected value than conventional plays. But Rob doesn't care about those pennies per hand. He's looking for scoring the big win from quads or a royal which is what makes his strategy different from conventional play.

Conventional play is in fact one hand at a time. Rob is looking for a big win and not to play hand after hand. I don't think that's BS nor do I think it's as stupid as some say it is.

If you want to play for pennies then you play conventional video poker strategy. Frankly it's what I do. But there is some value in going for the big win when conditions present themselves to try your luck at it.

And that is what the "fight" is all about.
