Depending on the type of game one is playing, you'll hit a Royal roughly every 43,000 hands if you play perfect strategy. If you 20k hands/wk, you'll hit two per month; if you only play 2k hands every trip to Las Vegas, you can go a kong while without a single one.

Made a living out of it or slowly wasted away precious time from his life... very debatable

Play 12 hands at $1 a hand or higher.. If you don't win after 10-12 hands in slots or poker then stop and wait 3 days to a week and try again.. Bovada is the best book to play video or slots IMO..
Very addictive, becareful... Must show discipline or books will absolutely take your money if you log on daily and play carelessly.. Must develop a system of play like i mentioned above.. Still it's tough to win over long periods of time but it's possible..
I don't recommend playing it period..

4 easy steps
1) Sit down at the VP machine of your choice (doesn't matter which one)
2) Punch yourself in the dick
3) Recover
4) Walk away

Even if you could find a +EV machine opportunity you would make a lot more on that footbridge between the Bellagio and Caesar's looking sad sitting by your pet yorkie with his head peaking out of a bookbag or selling that shit nestle water for $1 a bottle during the day. If you could train your yorkie to hand deliver the bottle you could charge $2 and make a killing.

This sounds like more fun then video poker also.

Watch others play while you get free drinks. That is the +EV way to enjoy video poker.

Most all high level pros do play paytables that are 100%++, the 100%+ games are mostly in quarters and worth very little to a high level pros.

Playing a game such as $1 10-play($50 a hand) every few seconds is much more enjoyable than playing poker or blackjack.

Not playing the game to start with. Long term you have no shot at being profitable in video poker.

Stations offers full-pay deuces at 100.7......this is a game for beginners at the quarter level.
As stated earlier, the vast majority of true pros make their living on games that pay less than 100% at higher denominations

Completely incorrect.
More than a handful of individuals make their living playing the game............and there are numerous semi-pros that make profits from the game in varying degrees.

yes,.....
and instead of making it, he now gets to tell the tale (he's done so here in sbr threads a few times) of how he wound up standing naked in a back alley near Stratosphere watching a hooker and her pimp run off with his last $200.00......
