BJ Bash 2011

[moo321]

I thought this might be the case. I just dont have a lot of questions and i also dont have a lot of advice. Heres my intro which might get me somewhere (at leats another post).

Been playing poker professinally for 6 years (mostly online). I like blackjack for fun, $$$ and it has great synergy (comps and cover) if i start going to more poker tour events next year.

Casinos recently opened near me so ive become more interested, but in one of them i got a little careless (playing at the wrong time and over wonging) and greedy (i play high limits) they banned me and got me backed off of blackjack in the others near by.

While looking at blackjack attacks tables in the back i decided that i was rolled enough for me to play the highstakes blackjack, it prob isnt worth it to stake my longtime friend (although i deff would w a bigger bankroll). After reading some discussion on here about on ace tracking and shuffle tracking im convinced that they can be added (conservatively) to normal card counting to reduce variance and heat and make it woth it to work out an arrangement while paying fairly. And I obv plan to use it myself.

Ive been counting for a few years (am probably up almost $100/hr over a few hundred hours) and so ive met a bunch of bullshitters but id like to meet some real counters and here what they have to say about it as a job and what some of these other strategies are that i hadnt given much consideration to.

This intro was originally a lot longer but i edited (and shortened) it over and over cause im paranoid for the same reason you guys might be.

Well, blackjack is great if you combine it with poker. You can get your room and meals in a few hours, but not be playing so much blackjack that you get nailed.

Sounds like you have the money and maybe the skill, and that being the case why not travel to other places to play?

That's what I'm tryna do but I had to get invited!

But seriously though I do a little but deleted the details of that because I still don't know how much to say about anything. If I go back and get tapped right away ill be wondering if I somehow said to much on a public forum.

When you get enough posts PM me.

I also fit in much better when the poker crowd is all over and not just in the card room

You had to get invited to go to places with good games to play them???

Again no offense.....but you aren't making a great case for yourself...

If you had been the great lurker you claim to be you shoulda had alot of stuff figured out by now....

I'm getting the vibe you haven't a clue about some stuff you should.....

Sorry if english isnt your first language. This means the sentence before is not serious, not EXTRA serious!

I dont even know what a great lurker means. I also dont know what you think i havent figured out. That i am allowed to go to casinos?

I thought i was fairly modest in my intro. I mentioned mistakes id made and things id learned. Considering almost every gamblor (pro or ploppy) ive ever met acts like they invented winning, i dont see how i could possibly be seen as over stating my case. (The $100/hr is not a brag. For a little while i was playing sloppy albiet lower stakes. Black chip players should be expecting to make at least $200/hr.)

Im familiar with forum click alpha males. Im not trying steal your spotlight or cramp your style homeskillet. Im trying to meet a few abitious players with whom i can discuss the ideas that would not be in our best interest to have posted openly on a public forum..

Ill be travelling a lot anyway, so i was hoping to meet some of the senior members over time until i saw this thread. Now im hoping to get to meet a hanful of APs at once for logistic reasons. Imagine my dissapointment if went to play in Michigan and meet the local AP just to find out blackjack knowledge is directly correlated with reading comprehension.

Ok

Ill try not to judge you based on your bad reading comprehension if you try not to judge me for not knowing that im allowed to go to public casinos or whatever it is you think of me.

This is all about community and friendship so let's chill and not take things too personal,,,if you get a chance to meet Homey you will see that he is a great guy and not out to Dis anyone, he is just watching our backs.

It's all good Bro'

BJ bash

Hey guys. I am sure the BJ bash will be amazing. I have been out of the game for a long while and haven't even checked the forums until some recent trolling. I just want to say I wish everyone good luck (not that you need it). I hope to see some awesome posts on what happened. Everyone win, enjoy and learn.
