Hey, most of the members are too busy playing the great games to get bogged down in the forums. Who can blame them.
 
BTW, I saw some stats not too long ago that claimed around 90% will always be lurkers. Now, if we could only those 10% to post we'd really have something going.

 Be careful what you wish for! BTW I'm again surprised you found time to log-in figuring you'd be racking up at Tuscany for 10x points. Kudos to all who think my 2 cents worth is actually slightly more than nonsense. OEJ, I see the Bolt has bolted! You're right, no spine or brains.

I played for an hour and a half. I reached my monthly goal for coin-in and stopped. It was still a good play but my wife wanted to play elsewhere. Besides I was $600 ahead and leaving ahead is always nice.

I have been reading the posts for a little less than a year now, and I have learned much. I want to thank all of you "old pros" for your guidance and in most cases, thoughtful insights into the oft times confusing world of vp play. It is really fun to find out that my own questions (doubts) are shared by so many others.
I post occasionally , but try to restrain myself from doing so alot of times because my personal vp playing system differs somewhat from the norm.
 Not much, but enough so that when I do post to interject my view or" take" on a vp play/ plan I am labeled as a dreaded "alias". It's really too bad that some of you have become so wary that anyone who even hints at a different approach to the game is labeled. But other than that, I do wish more members would post. Who knows, maybe there is a member out there in hyperspace who has found a "magic bullet" for vp,but is to shy or afraid of impolite criticism to share it with us all.

Ansoda, Post away. Remember there are Vegatatrians and then there are Vegans. Differing viewpoints are always welcome in a discussion. As long as one knows the difference between how "they" play a given hand and what the math of probabilities tells us. It is fun sometimes to be oblivious to AP and just pretend you are pulling a slot handle.

Ansoda unless you are - Fa La La La La.... La la la la- you are not an alias.

[ansoda]

Umm.... I guess I'll have to get someone to vouch for me.

Umm.... I guess I'll have to get someone to vouch for me.  Regardless of your credibility or playing style, you really can't argue with mathematical statistics. Sure players will get on a "hot" streak that might break most of the rules of probability but those are few and far between. Why are you hesitant to post? This is a forum, not a popularity contest and most here will correct or advise as to whats wrong or best suggested etc. etc. etc. I think you may want to find that someone to vouch for you so OEJ doesn't put that next to your username.

ED- I have no argument with math stats or the pure logic of randomness, I quite enjoy them. My favorite game is double bonus and when I play it for practice on vpw I change the paytables for the challange of the varied holds so I can deal with them at casinos. I just played 200 hands of DB on vpw and hit 2 SF, 5 quads, and a bunch of FH's. Yesterday I played the same game for 300 hands and got zilch. I know the difference between good play and a "hot streak". I'm hesitant to post (sometimes ) because as I said at the start of this thread , some of the forum members are very wary of rs trying to regain entry and have cut short a good exchange between valid questioners and even more valid responders. Just look at the last sentence in your post. Its exactly what makes me think twice abut expressing my view on some topics posted. As for vouching for me, I hope I don't need that.But if I do I'm sure the guys I have met in person from this site will say I'm sure as hell no rs. Although my initals are the same .

I've met with ansoda and I can vouch for him.
 
The problem with RS is his attitude towards those who disagree with him. Most of us, who believe a math based approach is best, only want to pass that iinformation along to others. If they accept it ... fine, but if not, that is also fine. We each have our own priorities. However, if someone starts touting another approach is superior then I personally want to understand how so. RS makes this claim and then glosses over the "how so". From there it usually goes downhill.
