KewlJ- just the fact that you don't listen to Alan and the others is a give away. They've told you over and over they don't support Rob's strategy- or even some of his picks on hands. The math? Do you think a VP player can win 5% of his bankroll with good strategy? And could this person actually hit a huge winner in a game? It does happen. And what are you protecting me from? Playing an artt strategy that allows me to play longer for less money? From hurting my health ? I was playing for only 2 hours and nearly froze and had the night sweats after I got home. I'm happy where I am and although even Rob doesn't think I understand his strategy, I do well enough to enjoy myself. As I have always said, I got the premise in the article "What's wrong with a positive progression?" from VP Truth and the strategy is flexible enough for a flexible mind to experiment with- even while playing the basic strategy.
