[quote=billryan] As I said, Phil Fa La La La La.... La la la la loves to take cheap shots and then lacks the fortitude to stand by them.
Now, he claims this somehow is thanking Bob.Billy, this fixation you have of interpreting everything I say as a jab at Bob Dancer is getting ridiculous.  Lets straighten this out once in for all. 1. As far as I'm concerned, Bob Dancer's VP strategy is infallible when playing positive games.2. I'm not Fa La La La La.... La la la la.  Never met him, don't know who he is and could care less anyway.3. I believe a player should be able to play any way they want with their own money.4. I believe we are here to help players who want our help and leave them alone when they don't.5. I believe playing smaller reduces loses when playing negative games.6. I believe Bob Dancer would agree with all of the above.Whatever personal problems you have should not be aired on this forum.  If you want to pick a verbal fight with me, message me and we'll have a go at it.   Give us all a break and find something positive to talk about.  How about it?

   More lies.   If you want to pretend that wasn't a dig at Dancer, so be it. You seem incapable of both being honest and of owning your statements.
It is what it is, and you are what you are.
Sad.

I tend to agree with Phil on this one. After reading a couple of recent billryan posts, I've wondered how he could possibly interpret them as jabs at Bob Dancer.[/QUOTE]

I believe BR has expressed disgust towards FP a few times in the past with regards to him being the sole proprietor / biggest reason Mr. Dancer has not participated on this forum since April 2016 (though he has eyes on this forum based on a recent column).

While BR may be wrong on this occasion thinking Phil is taking a jab at Mr. Dancer, there is no denying that Phil has an obsession with Mr. Dancer and cannot go one week without mentioning his name. I guess that stirs up BR.

BR has also had some dishonest posts as well, so he is not perfect and can use better reading comprehension skills to become a better player.

Dancer has not participated on this forum since April 2016 (though he
has eyes on this forum based on a recent column)[/quote]In my defense this statement is not entirely accurate.  Mr. Dancer and I never disagreed on his strategy when playing positive video poker games.  However, we did disagree on two other issues.  The first area of disagreement was the strategy used when playing negative VP games.  We both agreed playing smaller limits loses on these games, but he did not approve of my CS progressive betting strategy.   Despite my statement that CS was an attempt to make playing small more exciting, he was adamant that it wouldn't work and he felt it was somehow "dangerous".The second problem area was over my interpretation of his claims of video poker profit potential.   After some back and forth, he more closely defined what he counts as video poker profit and I felt a little better about having my doubts.  As there is no way to verify them one way or another, this issue remains open.I have always said Mr. Dancer is a great businessman.  Anyone who can get a casino to pay him is a genius as far as I'm concerned.   Mr. Dancer is obviously a wealthy man.  Personally, I do not believe he got that way solely from playing video poker.   I stated as such and he became defensive and questioned my own sucess as a businessman.   This got somewhat out of control with personal attacks on both sides.  Finally he asked for a vote of the forum.  The question was who was going to control forum conversation.   I stated everyone should have an equal say.   He lost that vote and went on vacation for the summer.A lot has happened in my camp since then.  As he predicted CS turned out to be an interesting way to play VP, but it came with a significant cost.   On his advice I moved up in denomination allowing me to play better games and to receive more and better comps.  My wife and I traveled to Vegas last summer and played our first positive VP games.  I clearly witnessed that it is possible to turn a profit playing VP in Vegas.   I still have my doubts that a skilled player could become a millionaire from VP alone, but at least I can see potential in what I thought was an impossible premise.As you can tell from my recent posts, I have developed a new appreciation for Mr. Dancer and his strategy.   I don't think he is superhuman and I certainly don't idolize him as some forum members seem to.   I do believe he has a genuine desire to help average players.  I am saddened that he has decided to stay away so long.   I feel somewhat responsible even though he alone made the decision to leave.   Personally, I wish he would return to the forum.  I think if he did he would find the welcome significantly more accommodating.  I've thought about sending him an email asking him to return, but I'm not sure how it would be received.
