Let’s say you had a good year at video poker in 2010 — and you made a lot. For some of you that means $1,000. For others, a lot more. In 2011, assume you lost a similar amount. You conclude from this that the games were tighter in 2011 than they were in 2010.

Blackjack Ball 2012
Every year there is a party for some of the greatest minds in Blackjack. Attending are great writers, and theoreticians like Stanford Wong, Arnold Snyder, and James Grosjean. Also in attendance are some of the great players of all time, like Al Francesco, members of the MIT and Hyland teams, and James Grosjean. But the Blackjack Ball 2012 […]
You Are What Your Record Says You Are — N...
In sporting events, periodically a player or a coach tells the media that they are better than their record indicates. When they do this, a talking head on one of the sports programs tells the audience that this is just not true. A team is only as good or as bad as their record indicates.
Rest in Peace Bill Day
William Day passed away in late 2011. Most video poker players have never heard of him. He was, however, one of the strongest video poker theoreticians from about 1997 through 2004 and much of today’s knowledge about the game originated with him. He deserves to have a place in any legitimate Video Poker Hall of […]

The Right Attitude
I’ve mentioned before that I sometimes read Card Player magazine even though I’m not a poker player. On occasion I find information in there that I can apply to my own gambling career — which is almost entirely video poker.
How Resilient are you?
Several times I’ve listed attributes required to be a successful video poker player — intelligence, willingness to study, ability to obtain and hold on to a bankroll, etc. I’ve recently come to the conclusion that resiliency should be on that list.
Dice Control – Not
A few weeks ago we had Stanford Wong on the show talking about his book Wong on Dice. The thesis of this book is that players can control the dice when they throw them and have 7 show up less than 1 in 6 times. If a player could do this it would be worth […]
