"Anthony Curtis NEEDS me as a major topic on his forum and has asked me to return posting several times, but I've declined. Bob Dancer and Jean Scott NEED Anthony Curtis and the LVA forums in order to keep selling all their vp junk just to help keep gambling money in their pockets. And at the same time, the playing public has made ME the most important personality ever to light up the vp boards.
Now we have Frank Kneeland mega-posting on the forums, especially LVA. And what did he just do? Yup, he wrote a book and uses his postings as an advertising by-line about it. You'll notice at the same time he talks about all these so-called "vp pros" hiding and lurking under the low-profile cloak, and he isn't answering questions about vp income--claiming it's some sort of Roman-Greco secret that's only talked about as "hindsight bias" or whatever he's trying to say. In other words, when someone says "results don't matter--I only believe in theory about what MIGHT happen" then they haven't experienced anything significant enough to discuss and would rather not hear about the successes of others. If they have to, then the history is meaningless because no one theorized about it happening beforehand. So how much sense does THAT make?
I don't think he made his money playing videopoker. I think he secretly made his money with stand up comedy
I would like to go on record as saying I have also made money doing comedy sitting down.
After I've had a chance to discuss this Rob quote with Rob I'll comment on it...and no I don't think he's spreading lies about me. I think he believes what he says...and no it doesn't bother me. Rob's insight into why VP authors post is certainly one possible explanation. I have some extra info I'll share with him and then see what he thinks.
Cheers...
