Hey everyone...nice forum you got here. I've been reading all the threads and am quite impressed. I used to play full-time back in the mid 90's, but moved onto other things and lost touch with the game. But just recently I decided to get back into BJ. The impetus for this was unemployment and a rapidly approaching homelessness...lol.
So on Wednesday, I am loading up my old truck and taking my whopping $500 BR down to the casinos. Yeah, chances are that I will fail. But I have to admit that I'm more than a little excited about this adventure. It's the sort of thing that get's a man's blood pumping. If I go broke, I will find a job somewhere, but this is something I really need to do and I have a good feeling about it.
As for my game, it actually came back pretty quickly and is quite solid now. I've been playing about a 1000 hands a day SIM for a few weeks now, focusing on the emotional/mental part of it. I use a an unbalanced hi-lo (5's are +2) with a 5-25 spread, along with the normal index plays and some other stuff. I realize there are better ways, but this is what I know and I am comfortable with it. Unfortunately, since my BR is very small, I will have to use a progression to get to a respectable BR amount. That will be the riskiest part of it all.
Anyways, that's about it. I will post my adventures here and when I'm done I will post my casino reports too. Please refrain from insulting me or telling me I will fail. I think I've done enough of that to MYSELF in the past and don't need anymore...lol. But if anyone has any advice or suggestions, those are always appreciated. Wish me luck!
