Shadow you are a novelty. You say you win and you seem to want the crowd to applaud and accept it at face value. But I see nowhere that you have proven it or even offered to do so. All I can imagine is how important it must be to you that others might believe you in that respect, because those others dont seem to be able to lie here as easily as you appear to find it.

We know from your posts that you are a completely negative person. We also know who you are and why you are here. I get a chuckle out of you, as I knew exactly how you'd respond to my comment.
 
Maybe you need to go back to military intelligence training school. You're not supposed to be so predictable. You obviously failed your first time through.

You must only play positive pay vp, we don't have that around here, you can find 98.98% but most are 97.87% for the game I play. I have to go back quite a few years to say I actually won money for that year, I have many good hits and get on a good streak sometimes but it's always followed by that dreaded cold streak. The worst year I ever had was 2010, I kept expecting things to come around but it never happened. 2011 was not a bad year, can't say I won a lot of money but I enjoyed myself and I didn't get hurt to bad, I've been getting my butt kicked at Harrahs lately, while playing DDB I've only had 1 hand above a standard quad in about 30K hands and that was quad aces without the kicker. One thing I can always count on is the good times will always be followed by the bad .

Not much around here either, but one game is enough and that is all I play. I've heard rumors the game may get removed this year so my ability to play positive games may not last long.

It doesnt matter a whole lot what the paytables are if you arent a habitual gambler. You get lucky or you dont and thats it. I had a huge hit (for me) about four weeks ago and I havent gambled yet since, and Im in Lasvegas. I do not expect someone who is owned by the machines like shadow could ever possibly even contemplate doing something like that without going insane. He likes perceptions without proof; lets see him chew on that.

My being predictable or not is irrelevant. Im a chair-jockey analyst who runs programs that determine possible threat or truth levels and we pass it on.

I was going to say Happy St. Pattys day to you, but something tells me youre so angry at God, country, world, and probably everyone who isnt facing whatever challenges youve been presented with, that it just wouldnt do any good. But WERE sure gona have a time tonight!

Analyst? ROTLFMAO. That would take an ability you've never shown. You know, the ability to use simple math and logic. That's what makes this reflection so hilarious. Now, if you pretended you believed 5th card flip-overs happened 40% of the time .... Oh, wait.

You dont see me making fun of whatever you do shadow, so please refrain from your continued display of what your own demons do to you.

I understand how you think youre being clever with the flipover comment, but Ive never cared one way or the other about it. I dont believe the machines are as random as you feel they are, but thats not the reason why.

I think youre in need of some dancing, singing, and some good old fashioned lovin. Hope youre not too old for any of that to make a difference.

You mean like "someone who is owned by the machines "? 
 
I guess remembering your last comment isn't one of your strong points.

I think you two have both had enough shots at one another in this one. Let's try to let this get back on topic or we'll shut it down and try again. Thanks.

LOL This is starting to sound like Shadowman and  Mr. (Fa la la) when they were going round and round.
