Understanding 95-99% games?

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Obviously in any situation you are likely to end up at zero, but the odds of that will vary depending on your goals and stopping points.


thats exactly i was looking for. with that said any real answers would be grateful and id hate to play the guessing game with live money

i suppose 100$ winner would be fitting with a 200$ fixed bankroll
is it best to play a boring game of jacks? or better to play TDB? or meet in middle with DW?
next is it best to bet pennys? or better to go all in? or maybe somewhere in between .10 machine 0.25?
again this would take a computer or calculator to give the best frequency answer overall

I think Bob D will want to weigh in on this.
I believe he does not participate in the recreational part of the forum.
Actually he does as he d--n well pleases with no repercussions!!
Either to denigrate rec. players as less intelligent or to rip FP as he did on 7/26/19 with no call-out by webman. This on the rec. section.
He is a poor businessman (looking down his nose at potential customers), his alleged winning exploits remain unsubstantiated!!
There are Mensa caliber people of rec. persuasion on this sight who could buy-and-sell him but they are smart enough to not bother to piss into the wind i am not!!

You say there are no repercussions, but I'd say your opinion (which you are welcome to express) is the repercussion. It's true, Bob Dancer thinks it's a dumb move to play video poker recreationally. If that opinion excludes players that could be customers, that's his choice. With regard specifically to FP, I think Mr Dancer had good reason to be frustrated. FP directed a lot more fire in his direction from the recreational forum than the other way around. I don't know which post specifically you are referring to, so it's possible there is more to it than that, however. If you have a problem with a specific post, please report it privately and it will be looked into. We may or may not agree that it needs to be moderated.

Your reasoning on the frustration is slanted as usual. For someone to respond to repeated denigration is grounds, but tweaking the people on rec. forum is PROTECTED??

BD does participate in the Recreational forum periodically. He responded to one topic in October and 2 in September. I find nothing wrong with that since his posts were straightforward and not offensive. Quite frankly, participation in the recreational forum has virtually dried up except for some diehards.

Or, not submitted the post at all, since my belief was a little off?
