<font color="blue">In fact, I'll tell you how I got really interested in Texas hold'em. A year ago this August, I was with a friend of mine in Vegas and we were playing double bonus video poker, where you actually had a slight advantage, and, according to the Nevada gaming regulations, you had to pay out according to the specified percentages. But I noticed after 9/11 that the video poker machines just weren't streaking. It was just a gambler's feeling, but I got to talking to one of the slot hosts and he mentioned something about a new chip. I said, come on, don't [censored] me, what's going on. He said nothing and shrugged it off. So I got into my detective instincts and got to talking to one of the tech guys and I said: "So how is that new chip in the video poker machines?" and he said: "You mean the new yield management chip?" and I say: "Yeah that's the one, the yield management chip. What's the deal there?" <font color="red"> And he said that after 9/11 the casinos were suffering and they petitioned the Nevada State Gaming Commission and asked them if they could still pay the same percentages, but defer the streaks by like a million hands.</font></font>
I don't know if he's screwing with the heads of Bluff magazine (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/columns/story?columnist=bluff_magazine&id=2387444) or if he really believes this.
