Why are we all so glum?

I would go with a white or Ivory colored Negligee myself, some good white chocolates, a couple of dozen white roses, and a good bottle of white wine.

Bob Dancer is my friend? ????GREAT!   I'll be at his class then, when I hit Vegas in Late October (it looks like October 24 or thereabouts is the likely target date and I will be staying for a duration of at least 10 days but might extend it longer if I can get the right deal(s) lined up.    I really do not have any problems with Mr dancer, I agree with most of his video poker playing principles, I just disagree with his philosophy of what constitutes "Success", and I do not like the fact that he never tips....anyone.....ever.   that seems a tad draconian and anti-social

  I just possibly may, MAY grant you, be in Las Vegas AT THAT VERY SAME TIME. I'm trying to line something up for late October or November.    A tad draconian and anti-social, wasn't that a line spoken by the "Michael Bolton wannabe" inside the bar in the movie "Good Will Hunting?" How do you like me NOW!

Far be it for me to defend Bob Dancer, but I do understand his view on tipping, at least the tipping of slot folks on handpays. Bob plays at a high denom level. As a result, he sees a lot of handpays.

He plays VP to make money, often at a VERY SLIM advantage level. Frequent handpay tips would evaporate any advantage he may enjoy in today's VP world.

Now, those drink girls - THAT'S a different story..

I bet he tips the drink girls. Doesn't everyone?

[Tedlark]

I tip them and I don't even patronize them. My logic on this is simple: I'm occupying space in their section that quite possibly could be occupied by someone else who would be getting drinks from the drink girls thusly earning a tip. So I give them a few bucks, I'm not missing any meals by doing this.

Some good ideas there; but what do I get for her then?

Just tell me why after the first three [3] hours it is very difficult to get even in the top ten.  I do like the new idea of having a daily game.  Gives the people a chance!!!

I am not sure that Bob even tips the cocktail waitresses. He uses casinos to make a living for himself - not anyone else.
