I know there are lots of "advantage" players playing video poker.

STILL, VERY FEW KNOW or KNEW HOW TO PLAY DOUBLE BONUS TO PERFECTION.

Now I'm sure in the last six years more have definetly learned how to play the game correctly, but as late as 2003, very few were playing the best DOUBLE BONUS plays/promos in the city(which I know doesn't cover many others that actually know how to play the game).

Pretty much knew every DB wiseguy in the city, and at that time, it was less then twenty........and only 1-3 individuals put more hours in then myself from 1999-2003 on DB machines.........and I can also tell you that even some of the ones that were considered excellent DB players, did not know every hold correctly..........VERY, VERY tough game to play to perfection.

Now I understand that some of these "holds" in question that occurred every 300 or so hands meant very very little to the overall return, as most times it was miniscue.

The "semi-pro" DB player is in all liklihood playing a sub 100% machine, as the payback with perfect play is only 100.17............and they would need a strong promo and/or slot card to overcome their defiencies. Having said that, that is about the only time this game is really worth playing anyway, with a promo and/or good slot card.

Trust me Fish, There are lots of players in LV that know how to play the game to perfection. I do agree with you that I almost never play the game unless I'm at a place that offers great promos. Why would I ? I've been here long enough to know all the secret places ! LOL Casinos however have no fear of clearly posting the 100 % plus payout tables as probably 99.8 percent of the players don't have a clue. But to say that there are only 100 people in the world that play it correctly is simply not up to date. I can tell you some interesting stories of who was playing right next to me ! LOL

Here is a link to my favorite VP trainer - it's free and click on the "download the WinPoker demo" link when you get on the website.

http://www.zamzone.com/

It features "jacks-or-better" (JOB) which is the best one to play as a beginner due to low variance. Also go to the wizardsofodds page mentioned above and print out a basic strategy sheet. BTW, you can play bonus poker with the JOB strategy (there are a few small differences but really not worth learning as a recreational player). If possible play "full-pay" machines but you won't find many on the strip in lower denominations.

My other advice is to play where you stay and always use your players card to get mail offers and comps. I go to Vegas around 6 times a year and never pay for a room (Red Rock and Main Street Station) and rarely pay for a meal. I try to play video poker around 4 hours a day (usually $.25 level but sometimes higher) and enjoy the bartops because of the TVs and fast drink service. The rest of the time I'm playing live poker tournaments which is my passion but doesn't earn any comps.

Good luck!

Sorry Fish but I don't know your friend Randy ! However your other guess was very good and He was checking me out to see if I had purchased any of his books or CD's. Why would I ? I learned to play the game at www.wizardofodds.com and it was free ! Hope to see you at the next Bash ! Let's try not to compete for the title of " Most Obnoxious Drunk " at the next Bash ! I have kinda calmed down with my drinking quite a bit ! OK Pal ... Let's go for it once again ! LOL:toast:

You're completely fooling yourself if you believe this to be true.

So, in conclusion, you're a moron :think2:

Hey Kermit, are you recieving any large mailers these days?

If you are, you may want to take a trip to Biloxi, as the Island View is DOUBLING any casino coupon for new members to their slot club.......up to $2500!!

Call in advance to confirm.

Just returned from a 4 day trip there and loved it......no good VP other than some 99.90 and JOB machines. Hit a royal on the ten-play quarter JOB at Harrahs(Grand) and grinded out some profit on the NO LIMIT tables...........had a good time and picked up $1400 for trip. Hoping and praying I recieve some good mailers from a few of my stops.
