Thank you Arcimedes!!! You are 100% correct that you don't tell anyone how to play but you will stand up against systems that are mathematical nonsense being pushed as a viable alternative. What's next? Will moneyLA start peddling a Martingale system as a winning strategy? It doesn't matter to me either how he or anyone else plays. For example, he can hold every A-10 suited with the argument that it will produce more Royals and that is fine with me. Just please don't push that idea down my throat as a wonderful new strategy.

I dont disagree that when you hold the full house you will get more hands. But how many times do you get a shot at quad aces? You know what Arc -- I think there are a lot of players who would like to take the shot at quad aces. Just about a week ago I broke up a full house and got lucky and hit the fourth ace and getting that handpay of $2000 felt a lot better than settling for a full house -- even at the $5 level which was $200. In fact, when we raised this before other board members also said they would hold just the aces. I guess they are stupid idiots too, right Arc??
No, others are not claiming it will generate a "big win". They simply say that's the way they want to play. Nothing wrong with that. The only problem is when you make claims you can't back up. So, this has nothing to do with other board members. You made a claim you can't support. That is all on you.

Frankly, I wonder if I had just held the three 3s and gave myself an extra chance at picking up the quads and a $2,000 win.
Like I've said a thousand times before ... I don't care how you (or anyone else) plays. It's only when you try to justify your plays with nonsense logic that I get on your case.

You are a true believer in playing your perfect stategy and there is nothing wrong with that until you believe that everyone else who doesnt follow "perfect strategy" is wrong. What you fail to recognize is that others have a different utility for each hand they play and how they manage their money when they play. You are playing for the long term. Others do not recognize the long term and want to take their best shot. You have a bankroll that allows you to go through a grind of small wins so that you can play more hands-- you also have the time to do that. Others do not have the bankroll or the time -- OR THE PATIENCE -- to play the long term strategy that you adhere to. And what differeces Singer has only apply to the smallest percentage of overall hands played.
In my last outing at bonus I was dealt a full house with three aces only once in some 7 hours of play. So taking a shot at quad aces in one hand out of seven hours is not such a crime.
Nope, you can do whatever you want. Just quit trying to claim it "makes sense" or will lead to "big wins". Just play however you want and quit trying to frame your own personal strategy as something better.
