I've reached "all-star" status...

My life is now complete. RS has practically dedicated a whole article to me this time. While I spend most of my time during the day living a pretty normal life, busy with my career and trying to earn a fair living, the author of the vp truth website is obsessed with me and my video poker trivials.
I swear to you all that although I've played over a million dollars per year through video poker machines, it is a mere form of entertainment and a hobby for me. Mean while, this guy just obsesses over my opinions and those of many of us on this board.
Some of his statements in this week's article are just so priceless. He takes so much out of context and just twists things to fit his parameters. Even though, I don't feel a rebutal is even needed here, I do feel I need to address one underlying hypothesis of Rob's, that I am a hypocite.
Yes, I am a seven stars player through Harrahs. I earned that with my RNG experiment I conducted last year as many of you read about on this website. I did this through Harrahs because their point system allows easy tracking of your play. Prior to last year and starting again next year, I will be no higher than a Diamond player again. And this is only to take advantage of Harrah's generous comp system and to have a nearby casino to earn points towards Vegas through. I have stated numerous times that I am an "advantage player" looking for and playing almost exclusively games which have a near or over 100% return for higher limits at casinos such as the Palms, Stations, Coast, and now the M Resort. And, by no means, is video poker a way to make a living for me, it is a way to relax. Some people like to burn through cash with depeciating purchases such as automobiles or other psuedo-collectables, I like to burn through cash with video poker. Last year, I lost over $40,000 through Harrah's, but I did win over $20,000 in other casinos. I've had years that I've lost more, I've had years that I've won. This year I'm up a few thousand, but who cares. For me it's a way to get away from real life. I don't gamble the mortgage or the electric bill. I have a beautiful home in one of the nicest suburbs of Phoenix and I have several newer cars. I don't deprive my family from anything, vacations, going out to dinner, etc. I have a gaming bankroll and it does not infringe on my lifestyle one bit. I also sports bet college and pro football at an advantage level as a hobby on the weekends in the fall and winter as a form of entertainment and relaxation, but again this is from my gaming bankroll.
I had some respect for RS awhile back, but that is now lost. He thinks he knows me, but he does not. I believe that I am what he wishes he was. He's the addict, he's the hypocrite, he's the reflection.
