Yes welcome back Phil, not everyone is in Webman's camp. I still get it with your posts and I played your CS for 15 months years ago. Hit my first 4k royal using CS. Still use it a few times a year. No harm no foul.

CS is not for everyone. If I was only going to a casino a couple of times a year or when on vacation, I wouldn't use it. CS is for a player who's only choice is to play seriously negative games and wishes to play them for long periods of time. It saves money by reducing your coin in. The max coin jump after every 4 coin win is only there to add excitement to a very boring single coin game.

When I spend a day at the casino, I am not thinking long term. If I did, I would never go into a casino in the first place. I know my games are losers, so that's not a great revelation to me. To me, video poker is a battle that lasts one trip at a time. I am there to win that battle as many times as I can. In the end, the casino will win that battle. If I walk out with some of my money in my pockets or some of the casino's money, I feel like I won. I am happy when I drive home. I'm not grumpy when the new puppy jumps on my shoes and starts biting my socks. My wife asks me how I did and I tell her I did OK. She smiles and I am right with the world. Next week I will do it all over again for all the same reasons.

Welcome back FP. I agree with others that Webman was out of line for suspending you. After all, those that have chosen to criticize you do not have to follow your posts. Maybe there is a need for an ignore button and if one already exists then those that do not like FP should use it. In the words of the late philosopher Rodney KIng, "Can we all just learn to get along?".

I've said all I can say about video poker strategy a million times already. The only strategy I know anything about is what happens when I play with my money. My experience when it comes to gambling is this. Before you walk into the casino to gamble, look at your money. Turn it over in your hands. Walk into the bathroom and stand next to a toilet. If you can flush your money and walk back to your car, you are good to go. Whatever happens after that is positive. Casino gambling is entertainment. If someone wants to turn it into something else, that's their business.

As the theme song for the Soprano's said, Webman was born with a gun in his hand. When he walks into an online lounge, even the most hardened regular quakes in fear. You may not love him, but by God you will respect him!

It's strange how the same people keep getting their wrist slapped. It's almost as if there was a pattern to it.
There is an old poker saying about that.

I have NO complains with Webman. Overall, I think he has been fair. His job is not an easy one. He has to walk a fine line between members with widely diverse views.

Sponsors have their own agenda. The video poker I see when I go to the casino is nothing like they describe in their books. The very few times I have been able to play positive VP games, I saw no appreciable difference in my results. The best day I have ever had playing VP came playing 7/5 Jacks or Better. The machine didn't know what the odds were when it spit out four royals.

This doesn't mean I think players should ignore the experts. If you have everything they require, you should make a profit. If you don't, the experts tell me not to play. I choose to play anyway, so I have to choose how I play based on the entertainment value alone.

This post is an example of the harassment I spoke about earlier. As long as it continues, I will point it out until Webman does something to stop it. It should be OK to disagree and state your case. Internet trolling our posts should not be allowed.
