I've read More Frugal Gambling and practice with WinPoker. I can now play several different video poker games without making any tactical errors. But I can't seem to find many 100%-plus games to play. I find myself spending all kinds of time looking for "a good game" instead of just playing! I want to increase my chances to win, of course, but I now feel guilty if I don't play the best machine possible. Is it really such a bad thing to play less than 100% EV games in the short term?

I know that many Texas hold 'em hands have a name. For instance, almost everyone knows that a 10-2 is called the "Brunson," because he won two WSOP events with that hand. I've heard the 10-3 is called the "Weinberg." What is the origin of this name. In fact, do you have a list of poker hand names and their origins?

I heard that the highest price ever paid by a collector for a casino chip was $75,000, at the 2005 Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club convention. True? If so, what was the chip and why was it considered so valuable.

I thought that everything in the casinos is set for the house to win. Some have larger profit margins than others, but the house always wins. So how can a casino lose money?

My husband and I visit Vegas several times a year and have looked for Strip casinos that have classes on poker. We haven't found one yet! Do you know where and when any casinos on the Strip hold poker classes?

Understanding that casinos need to meet bottom-line figures, why should they continue to try and rip off the general public by putting more 6-5 blackjack games on the floor? Do they really think people do not understand gaming that much?

In your answer on 6/20/07, you wrote that on the $2,500 video poker machines, you get a W-2G for a high pair. Are there really $2,500 machines, where you need $12,500 to load it up? And can you explain to me why you'd need tax documentation for a push -- you're not really winning anything, you're just getting your money back.

Now that the New Frontier is closed and the auction is set for July 26th, do you know if another casino bought that mechanical horse racing game they had in the back of the casino? Luxor has one that races camels, but do you know of any other casinos that offer this game?

We recently ran a question about TITO tickets and the danger of having them snatched from your machine. We received a lot of interesting feedback from our readers on the subject, so we thought we'd pass on some of your observations and tips.
