  Please check your prior post on the same page johnny. In it is the first time you mention televisions and wiring yet you didn't say that HE did all of the wiring, you just mentioned that you were impressed with the job. It was in your next post that you made the :"Do you play dumb on purpose" statement. 

So what Ted. You asked where it was that i said HE did the wiring and i told you. wheres it written that i was required to say that the first time i mentioned it, and why are you involved in this? All i can see is your just another one in the small crowd that doesnt like it that they cant disarm me or get me to leave because i ask the tough questions and the crew looks stupid for ducking them.
 
Peace.

Well johnny, at least you can't say I didn't give you a chance to try and become more sociable.  Actually, you probably could say that since facts don't seem to get in your way.  Do I need to be a bit more blunt to help you get it?you and some others have
been trying to make the case that im falala just because you cant break
me into leaving. its consistant with the history ive read here too. The
pianoguy roland was ramrodded out and thats not gointgto happen with
me. I don't care who you are.  My post spoke as if you were someone different.  You point out I am trying to make a case that you are a Christmas carol (get it?  fa la la), but I clearly said, "There were no accusations or insults directed to your hero" [emphasis added]. That should be clear that I didn't accuse you of being him...unless you are your own hero. I've never suggested that you not post here.  And r-dude was hardly ramrodded; he left of his own accord.  And he could be back at any time as far as I know.  Maybe he's not here now because he's completing his college degree so that his education can be consistent with the claims he made in one of his posts.i will be the first to report when i sit with him and talk about his vid pok ways, which only a few here seem to defy.You probably shouldn't sit with your hero to try to emulate his claimed success at video poker, at least not with the single play strategy.  It's a good bet you don't have the bankroll to play the strategy properly.Go ahead and tell me how youd deal with the likes of an acuser namecaller and liar like oej, followed by cd and edc.I think you've seen the advice I'd give to someone who is dealing with a name-caller; I put it in my previous post to you.  I'd patiently try to point out that you can't complain about name-callers when you yourself are one.  You can change yourself but I know it's hard.  It's possible but it's a lot harder to change others.  You cannot continue to argue with pigs.  As I've quoted the aphorism here before, "You both get dirty...but the pigs like it."  It's up to you to determine if you're going to stay in an argument that is only going to be answered by Webman's closing of the thread.  Some see the following as a corollary, but that's not necessarily true:  I may not be here to answer all your questions indefinitely.one thing i have not done is namecalling...Tough question alert, show me where ive namecalled.Your name-calling here is so numerous that I don't have to point out instances, but here's one:  "all you are is another jealus poster who hes probably trounced on more than once."  You can tell this isn't from me from the misspelling of the word, "jealous" and the lack of an apostrophe in the possessive pronoun.  I'm sure you (and everyone here) can find other examples of your name-calling others to answer your question.  It's not a tough question.  It's just not my thing to spend time answering questions that virtually everyone knows the answer to.  If you are in that small percent that cannot figure it out, seek remedial help elsewhere or incorrectly live life thinking that you don't engage in what you accuse others of doing.  It's no big deal to me one way or another.Youve taken your uneasyness
to another level of in-security by trying to spin whats going on. Your
not as smart as you think you are.   Your problem is a condecending attitude, and i think i see why you really dislike falala. Hes interesting and your not.Where did I tell you how smart I thought I was?  And if I thought I was smarter than I am, why would I be the one who is insecure?  You feel I'm condescending towards you because I point out that this forum is about video poker when you preach that there are more important things than video poker and one of them is muscle cars??  If you are feeling condescension, it might be your insecurity not mine.  You're not also having feelings of false persecution, are you?  You are not sensing that insults towards your hero are the same as being directed at you?  If so, and I'm not saying it is; but just in case, I think there are medications now that can help that.You're right.  I'm not that interesting.  When I drink beer, I drink Miller Lite and I've never had Dos Equis.  But again this is about video poker.  And I have enough understanding to determine that much of what your hero writes, when he's not insulting others, is hokum.  I don't care about his breath, his shoe size, his bank account history, his family, or even the acquaintances he brings to dinner.  My interest on this forum is about video poker and I have little concern whether that is interesting to you.i hope to know more about [video poker advice] in jan.Maybe you know this, but one or two victories (or losses) in January will not give credence to whether his methods will improve your lifetime video poker winnings or reduce your losses.  But if you cannot understand the math inherent in the game depending on different styles of play and you want to spend your time with him and report back, I'm sure that there might be forum members who want to read about it.  I just won't be one of them waiting for your report with bated breath.[QUOTE=New2vp]Oh, yeah, you are probably referring to my
discussions with others who have posted here, like you, apparently
posting in his behalf while denying any tie to him.  I can see where
you would make that mistake.  It is really difficult to determine
whether or not it's really him since their writings and attitudes are
so similar.
But, here's a tip.  You
shouldn't persist in making that mistake.  Those other posters get
really mad when you accuse them of being him in disguise or being
prompted by him to post!im not the brightest person here so i dont get that.[/QUOTE]You made the mistake of referring to me as someone "...who hes probably trounced on more than
once."  Since a "trouncing" would indicate some sort of contest, I tried to correct you by saying my arguments here have been with others defending him...not with him.  It appeared that you mistakenly thought that the others were him when they said here that they were not.  There is a little irony here in that you are concerned that some people think you are him.I didn't think it was a difficult point to get, but maybe I was too subtle.id like to have that 3rd uninterested party show
you in front of whoever your trying to impress, how a slug who turns a
wrench for a living stops a selfimpressed brain cold every single time.Why do you think that it would be impressive that someone who works with wrenches could be smart?  Is that a condescending remark about what you think of working men?  That sounds like something your hero would say.lets see someone PROVE
beyond any doubt that falala lies about his results, which are enormus
from what ive seen on his site, from playing the way he wants to play.
ill bet you right now even YOU cant do it because i know NOBODY can do
it about any method. Lets see you get out of this one with one of your
cute lines.Go ahead yourself and prove that they're accurate!  100% proof either way is fairly difficult without subpoena power and some hours of investigation.  The next best thing is to determine what's most reasonable from the facts that are most available.  But rather than me going through the argument, I'll refer you to another source that as far as I know has not posted here, so is not biased by what's been written at vp.com.  The words in green font following are from the author, not me.  http://pokergrump.blogspot.com/2008_06_15_archive.htmlR o b  S i n g e r This is another
puzzling column. It is ostensibly about video poker, but on each of the
few occasions that I've read it, the guy doesn't actually describe what
to do in particular situations to optimize gains. (Clearly there are
better and worse strategies for playing; a source I deem reasonably
reliable asserts that the optimal strategy gets approximately 99%
payback, and can actually be slightly profitable, once you take into
account the incentives and bonuses offered by casinos on players' club
cards. The casinos are relying on the fact that only a small percentage
of players deploy a strategy anywhere near optimal. If all players did
so, they would probably have to lower the payout schedule to keep the
machines profitable to the house.) Rather, all he does is brag about
the fact that he is a long-term winner at the game.In this
week's column, as with the other couple I've read from him, he says
that he is always being attacked by critics he disparagingly refers to
as "the math people," who don't believe he could be as successful as he
claims to be. He says that he has records to back up his claims, and,
of course, the critics can't prove him wrong. He claims to be a
"professional video poker player."To be sure, I haven't examined Mr. Fa la la's personal win/loss records,
nor am I interested in doing so. Let's assume, for the sake of
argument, that he could upon request produce records showing a
substantial profit over many years of playing in quantities approaching
the hours of a full-time job. Would that convince me that he has found
a system of play that turns video poker into a +EV game (neglecting
here any points-based incentives offered by the casinos)?Nope.
I would consider it far more likely that his record-keeping was
deficient, either through intentional misrepresentation or the kind of
selective neglect that is a temptation to any record-keeping gambler:
Faithfully record every win, but leave out losses now and then, with a
whole litany of excuses why they shouldn't be counted. (I am proud to
report that although my poker playing has plenty of faults and holes,
my poker record-keeping has been scrupulous. I have not even once
yielded to the temptation to omit the results of a session on the
excuse that it was an atypically bad or unlucky day, or that I wasn't
really trying that day, or whatever. I have definitely felt such pulls,
but have managed to force myself to include every painful loss.)The problem is much like trying to disprove alien abduction. Of course, for any individual story of such, it is possible
that the alleged victim really was paralyzed and taken by a tractor
beam up into an alien spaceship and given anal probes. (I saw it on the
very first episode of "South Park," so it must be true!) I can't prove
that it didn't happen. But the alternative explanations are, in my
opinion, just a whole lot more plausible. They include, variously,
people seeking attention and/or financial gain, delusions and
hallucinations, and manifestations of poorly understood but natural
physiologic states of sleep, influenced in their subjective
interpretation by cultural norms and the experiences reported
previously by others. (In other words, the same phenomenon that in
previous generations would have been reported as a visitation from a
succubus, say.)In Mr. Fa la la's case, I find it just as
implausible that video poker game manufacturers have designed the games
in a way that can turn them into your own personal ATM if you just
follow the simple strategy (whatever it is; he doesn't seem to talk
much about it) claimed by Mr. Fa la la to be a winning one, as that every
night thousands upon thousands of people are being abducted and
experimented upon by aliens.Look at it like this: If you were a
casino owner or manager, would you purchase for your casino a machine
that the manufacturer told you could be easily exploited by players to
be profitable? I sure wouldn't. That would kind of defeat the basic
idea on which casinos are built.That consideration leaves us
with only four possibilities: (1) The machine designers and casinos are
knowingly building, purchasing, and installing games that they know can
be beaten by anybody who follows the S*i*n*g*e*r strategy. (2) He has
stumbled upon a loophole that has not been noticed by anybody
in any of the various manufacturing companies, nor by any of the
casinos that install the machines and monitor their profitability
performance. (3) He is either intentionally lying or somehow
unintentionally deceiving himself about his actual long-term results.
(4) He is the luckiest S.O.B. ever to walk the planet, with results
many standard deviations from the mean.I find #1 and #2
impossible to accept, absent extraordinarily strong evidence (which no
one person's results could provide). I have no objective way of
distinguishing between #3 and #4, the only other remaining
possibilities. But #3 strikes me as by far the less improbable one.I am, in a sense, envious that these hacks can get paid for writing
complete bull**** and passing it off as helpful gaming advice.I'll
leave you with this thought: If winning at gambling were as easy as
these worthless columnists portray it, the casinos would all go
bankrupt overnight. Casinos love players who are convinced they have a
system that reverses the odds--because they're all wrong, no matter
what some lying or self-deluded GT/ST columnist has written.Back to my words:  Anyway, why would anyone want to play by a method known to be inferior? And if you don't know that it is, that's ok.  As they say, "A fool and his money are soon parted."  But at least it will help the economy...maybe not you, but someone else.  Best of luck, anyway.  They say "even a blind squirrel gets that acorn once in a while," so maybe it will work out for you.Heres my word of advice to you, you forgot to use blue. dont do it again. I wouldnt want any one to think im writing that type of spin.The blue font was to indicate responses to remarks that you made.  The black font following was the closing, not specifically directed at any of your remarks.  That may not have been clear, but I don't think others would have mistaken that writing as yours.  If you didn't notice, I put all your words in boxes or quotation marks.  Additionally, the paucity of misspellings and grammatical mistakes might cause most people to realize that the words were not from you.
