Video Poker Guru Rob Singer?
PS For some reason I’ve had difficulty posting here recently, but every thing seems ok now and I really like this new and improved format/update.

I think something good can come of it: Mr. Singer has now (indirectly) provided a fine excuse to test the formatting codes.*
*Okay, 3 out of 7 worked. Image, color, and size are good to go. Will take the rest to the 'new forum' snivel and whine thread.
Got to admire Singer though, he's built himself a pretty good gig.
Quote: Sabretom2Any meaningful (correct) strategy can be found right here at WOV or WOO.

Him, Phil Hellmuth, and Mike Matusow at the same table would be quite fun to watch!

Quote: BozI'm just thankful 1BB was there to remind the mods to get Dan back here for posts like this and the one about the dice guy being busted.
If you don't like it, the door is over there ---->
Your baiting 1bb is getting a bit tiring.

No baiting, just posting what I see. And you don't think his constant questioning iof ow the mods operate is tiring?
I'm not the mod defender here, they are more capable of handling it themselves. But the odds on him being the one to remind them about Dans suspension being over were -220 versus the field of all other 14000 members.

So what, why get yourself wrapped up in it? Makes no sense. It's just asking for trouble. Best to ignore it.
is this just your opinion?Quote: RSRob Singer is an idiot.
if no, you then have to prove what you just said is truth, imo

Good point. I appreciate the advise and need to hear it sometimes. Thanks again, and I do mean it.
It probably was a little obscure.Quote: AxelWolf[]Im lost by this comment about testing the new formatting codes?
Long version: I posted a linked image of a "nightingale" which is a species of bird, and is also how the OP described his VP "strategy." I suspect he meant "martingale." Unless the VP plan is actually to let a little birdie tell him what to do. My bit of silliness was also an excuse by me to see if the image tags are working, and while I was at it I tried several other common formatting codes in the text. At the time of the post, I discovered most of them did not work. But now it looks like this has been fixed, since the strike-through, underline, and bold now appear where they did not last night. Congrats to somebody on their quick work fixing all that.
Short version: Nevermind.

Nighingale might be more like it. If you lose 70 grand on a progressive strategy you'll be chirping like a little bird.

Losing is losing. The reason that all forums of this sort are just about dead. Except for sports and poker, which peaked a bit later.
Singer's people think he's Jesus the same as the Wizard's think he can do no wrong. Depends on who you talk to.
Or keep at it because "it can't lose AGAIN after 'x' times in a row" and you'll be roasting a little birdie over a can of Sterno in front of your refrigerator crate under the bridge.Quote: bobsimsNighingale might be more like it.

His strategy is to make plays that deviate from the best possible EV as a hedge against variance. That makes no sense. If you want to hedge and take the sure thing for less EV you are probably playing a higher denomination then you should.

I could be wrong but my understanding of his play is just the opposite of yours. I look at his special plays (which he only uses on certain occasions) as plays which deviates slightly from the optimum EV in an effort to get lucky and get a big score (i.e., not a hedge). His basic strategies also depend upon getting lucky at the right time ( i.e., the highest of the three or four levels he is playing) in order to hit a big score. The only drawbacks I have been experiencing in a limited sample is getting to my loss limit quicker than my normal EV play if I don’t get lucky at the right time and slowing my play down because of the constant denomination level switching.

At least Singer doesn't try to legitimize the casino industry (with math); and then go on to, in my opinion, avoid the real issues and questions.

The whole point of his system resolves around chasing losses by moving up in denominations and while doing so, scrap optimal plays for slightly sub-optimal ones going for big hands like quads. On top of that, he does this thinking he's "due" to hit these big pays. Nothing could be further from the truth. The most dangerous thing any gambler can do is raising your bet level while losing. Your never due for anything except death. Other than that, his special plays won't hurt that much.

Going from a zero bet to a non-zero bet is raising the bet? Talking about gambling, with negative or sub-par life expectation.
