I agree...the ditz is a strange bird.
I'm interested to know, can a player really reach the long term?
How many hands is that, anyway?
Is there no player ahead over their lifetime playing negative expectation VP?
I can imagine a low denom player, losing at close to expectation over their lifetime,
except for the once or twice when they took a shot at the $25 machine,
and hit royals with relatively little play at that level.
They could return to the lower level, and remain ahead until they stop playing forever.
That doesn't seem as unlikely as surviving a 30000 foot fall.
When I was discussing the possibility of a million-hand challenge,
the challenger insisted that I could not change denomination during the period.
I suspect that he considered it more likely I could end up ahead
after a million hands of -EV VP if I was able to change denomination.
