Comparing 9/6 Double Double Bonus with 9/6 Trip...
I participate on the videopoker.com forum. On this forum, there are many recreational players. Some regularly go back and forth between Double Double Bonus (DDB) and Triple Double Bonus (TDB). The games are not the same at all. To compare them, I had to pick pay schedules. I picked the second-best pay schedule in each […]

Colin Jones (S2 E3): Courage
In the half century since Ed Thorp published Beat the Dealer, dozens of card counting systems have been developed and promoted. Any numbers nerd with a simulator and a couch can sit there and spit out card counting systems, complete with all the technical mumbo jumbo about the method of index generation, the true-count conversion, […]
A Look at Double Double Bonus Poker Plus
Perhaps this is a very old game, but I just saw it for the first time recently. It looked interesting, so I thought I’d analyze it. I was playing $5 NSU Deuces at Harrah’s Cherokee and had just hit four deuces for a $5,000 jackpot. Always nice, but it’s a once-every-5,356-hands event on average, so […]
The Card Counter review
There has been a lot of talk about the new Paul Schrader movie, “The Card Counter.” Here is a review by our guest reviewer, Jake Jacobs. A fair proportion of you are no doubt as interested in the verisimilitude of The Card Counter as in its merits qua cinematic experience. From a professional gambler’s viewpoint, […]
Colin Jones (S2 E2): A Brain and a Little BR
In his book The 21st-Century Card Counter, Colin Jones talks about bankroll requirements. On page 81, in the chapter “Do I have What It Takes? The DNA of a Card Counter” he says this: “A card counter needs only two tools: a brain and a bankroll.” When I read that sentence, I almost threw an […]

Is This a Good Deal?
I’ve had a relationship with Anthony Curtis for more than 25 years. Mostly it’s a business relationship, but over the years we’ve also become friends of sorts. Not best friends, but friends nonetheless. I received a telephone call from him at about eight o’clock one Saturday evening recently. I took the call, of course, but […]
Colin Jones (S2 E1): Pushback
If you’ve ever kicked the top off an ant mound to trigger and reveal an alarming frenzy of activity that is ultimately meaningless, then you know what it’s like to make an online post defending Colin Jones. The lurkers come out in full hater mode, trying to sting and bite everything in sight. A meta-analysis […]
