You were hoping wrong. The "AP's" here all win....mickeycrimm even wins every day he plays. They all appear in anonymous form as well, just so there's no misunderstanding about their prowess. You either take their word for it or the insults will come your way. So when tableplay asserts "night has no meaning to me" he's giving you a chance to take back your denigration of the sacred ap's around here because slumps just don't happen to these expert grinders.
In answer to your question, when my results aren't where I want or expect them to be, I change my game to the game of life. My home and family life along with all my comforts derived from getting into serious gambling only after thoroughly preparing for my family's future, is worth so much more to me than being one of these socially decrepit, no-future casino rats.
Good luck....because good skill alone is not enough.
Well, this may be a Robocchio moment. I leave that to others to decide.
To the extent that I'm an AP, "Rob" was completely wrong in his post above. Historically, I lose about once every six to seven years. I have losing months all of the time. I won the first six weeks this season, then lost three weeks in a row, including one where I got whomped. I then eked out a profit each week since then, but nothing wowza. So I lost in October.
I actually lost six Wise Guys Contest games in a row this season, the first time in 30 years that has ever happened.
I find it very odd, and maybe another echo of projection, that someone who emphasizes the percent of sessions won, which matters not at all to anything, would go after APs for allegedly claiming that they win all of the time. Basically, the thrust of Argentino's video poker claim to fame is that he "wins all the time." Go ahead -- check those 7000 posts. Find some where he says he lost or took a beating.
It must be a projection thing. The video poker player who never reports losing criticizes APs for not reporting when they lose. Very psychotic stuff.
