And like the afore mentioned banned poster S***** he also goes for the royal any time he gets 3 to a royal. I have seen him toss a pair of face cards on a number of occasions. He is very aggressive and swears by it. But because he is lucky this strategy of being aggressive seems to work for him.

Winning 80% of the time is good, but it is still nothing compared to the claimed success rate of R** S*****. I believe he was winning something like 240% of the time.

DaBurglar with you admitting that you are a jealous person is the first step toward recovery.

I believe in my gaming session posts I frequently mention if I were upor down for the session. If you refer back to the post I made in November, where I met up with billyjoe in Joliet, I said I was close to losing my entire gambling kick of $2,000.00 when I hit AWAK which cut my losses to less than half and I then was dealt quad 4's and drew some kickers and that hand put me well into the black.

So I will take it that the congratulations you offered me were, in fact, not genuine. My advice to you would be for you to try not to be so mean spiteful and nasty; maybe then luck will shine on you too...

Mentioning winning 80% (8 out of 10 times) of the time and tossing low pair brought up similarities to R.S.I personally have not had good sessions with 9/6 DDB optimal play during the time I tried it. Even when I win, I will give that money back to the casino the next time I play.

[QUOTE=Tedlark] DaBurglar you really are a very jealous spiteful person. You openly called everyone here who post pictures of winning hands liars and now you are trying to backtrack from that.

Whether you want to think that I took a potshot at you and your kidney stones, I did. But as I pointed out before; if you post something here, be ready for critisism or a rebuttal. Your payback to me for joking about your kidney stones is you doubting my claim of being 80% winning sessions. I don't care if you believe me, I REALLY don't.

Yes I am lucky when playing video poker because luck is part of the aura of the game. See chattycatty's post above.

I will also continue to think that my overall video poker skills are superior to yours, luck included. Not to rub it in but my personal pick 3 number hit straight in the Illinois State Lottery last Saturday night too. Luck is related to karma so if a person is quite lucky then they may enjoy good karma but if a person doesn't enjoy good karma, you complete the rest of the sentence if you like.

You just continue to be jealous of me and other winning video poker players but if it helpsyou out I will try to think about something that I can be jealous of you about........ Nope, stunningly I can't think of a thing. way too easy........he just cannot stand that people will not simply swallow whatever he says......To the rest of the forum, anyone else want to count (or better yet, acutally POINT OUT) the total number of distortions, twisted logic, and elements of HYPOCRISY in tedlark's post above?   I'd do it myself but then he'd just launch another totally irrelevant delusional diatribe.....he does not seem to realize that it is not just ME in this case, but MANY people who doubt his claim of 80% winning.But I WILL GRACIOUSLY admit this much (as would anyone, and chattycatty basically did in the post tedlark claims SUPPORTS his so-called amazing winning streak)....IF.....IF he really truly wins 80% of the time (and not just a few bucks, but whatever his "WIN/LOSS" parameters are, which he still refuses to actually state by the way).....IF this is true, then YES!!!   YESSS  I totally admit, I am 100% jealous of any player who somehow could actually win 4 out of 5 times playing a game that is (at best) a coin flip (i.e.  Video Poker at its best paytables these days is around 99%, almost a coin flip).I think even bob dancer is jealous of someone who wins at video poker 80% of his sessions...But of course, we are all not jealous because we all know this is unsustainable at best, UNTRUE at worst.

DaBurglar, why is it so hard for you to conceive that some like TedLark, who is apparently 'local' to several casinos, can win 4 out of 5 times playing VP? If TedLark is smart enough to realize that say a 10% gain on his bankroll for that night is a good return on VP, and has the discipline to stop playing at that point, he can re-invest that same bankroll the next time, and pockets the winnings.

So I will take it that the congratulations you offered me were, in fact, not genuine. My advice to you would be for you to try not to be so mean spiteful and nasty; maybe then luck will shine on you too...lol  Ummm no, once  again your reading skills leave a lot to be desired......if you can read my post, I clearly state that IF......IF..... your 80% of the time winning were true and could be proven to us here on this site, THEN I would be jealous....but I clearly say I do not believe this so therefore, I am not jealous.......BUT what do you care either way TED?   If you are REALLY  TRULY WINNING THAT MUCH, THAT OFTEN,  who gives a crap what ANY OF US (least of all me) THINK or believe?    IF I were You and I were in fact winning that much, I first and foremost (1)  WOULD NEVER EVER tell a living soul, and certainly never ever post on a friggin PUBLIC internet forum how succesful I was!   and (2) I would quit my job and ONLY play video poker.This is why your claim just does not hold water, and whether you think I am spiteful or mean (which I am not, but you clearly are as evidenced by your three year posting history, particularly against me)  HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH how your video poker results pan out.......just like my attitude has NOTHING TO DO with my results......I am sorry, but NO ONE believes that the RMG in any given VP (or slot) machine is influenced by, or takes into account the "ATTITUDE" of the player pushing the buttons LOL LOL     How any of you can possibly even think that is laughable!   it goes to show that, whatever your results or success, if you believe stuff like that then you really are NOT logical or mathematical or "Skillful"......C'mon, get real.......TED, I get the point about the time you played with Billyjoe and you were down and blah blah blah......great, that was one incredibly LUCKY comeback!  but if you are going to tell me that happens to you 4 out of every 5 times you go to a casino, sorry........I do not get it.NO ONE CAN win 80% of the time for any SUSTAINED period........certainly someone could have a "Streak" of winning 4 out of 5 visits to a casino, or maybe even 8 out of 10.....but like ALL CASINO games with a house edge, EVENTUALLY the odds (i.e. MATH) even out and statistically it comes back full circle.     I can even believe TED, that you have had profitable years (heck, even I had several years back in the 1990s where I actually came out "Ahead" for the year!)   But no way, no how, do you win EVERY YEAR, EVERY TIME at a rate of 80%......not possible unless there is something else afoot or that you are not divulging.    That's just my considered opinion, an dhas ZIP ZOWIE ZILCH to do with your personality, my personality, or anyone elses.     My argument and viewpoint is simply based on LOGIC and MATH.BUT I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS REALLY STRONG CONCESSION TED:   If you can honestly prove to this forum you truly do win this often, if somehow you can demonstrate this and have it be accepted by all the knowledgeable and savvy people on this forum,  I will not only APOLOGIZE to you but I will also GLADLY PAY YOU a significant amount to actually PLAY my bankroll for me (say 25% of all proceeds/winnings you pocket, at ZERO cost or risk to yourself!!!     How can you possibly turn this down??   I am 100% a-friggin serious here!    ANyone else want to have TED "invest" our gambling bankrolls with his 80% success rate?!?!?!?)If anyone is having a hard time figuring out how he can "prove this", we can discuss that in a seperate thread........but it is actually quite feasible if he/us really want to pursue this

I can "CONCEIVE" anything sir.....but what I cannot accept (along with others here who truly understand today's video poker games, and who think logically and without emotions) is that someone will win a "10%" gain from their starting bankroll 4 out of every 5 times going to the same casinos, local or not, month after month and year after year......Like I said in my previous post, I can accept (or "Conceive") that someone could win 4 out of 5 (or 8 out of 10) trips over a specified short term period (say several months or even a full year)  and that Ted may have had specific profitable individual YEARS......but no way doe she do this always and forever......just cannot accept that, not with today's VP machines and their RNG's being the same everywhere.

Hey Ted,
"I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." - George Bernard Shaw.

I basically went through the same challenges you're going through some time ago. I tried to share info, be helpful, post pics, (thanks again Faygo), etc., but the losers became very unhappy about it. So I quit posting pictures.

There are just some folks who just can't stand a winner. They would rather have you share in their misery than celebrate your victories.

Congrats on your wins. I'm rejoicing in your victories.

The weird thing is...of the 3 forums I post to a lot, all gambling related, this is the only forum that does this.
