Hi. I just couldn't stay away from this great site forever. I have pretty much given up blackjack or at least am not playing it as much as I used to. I did visit casino last week but had bad luck again. I can't seem to win lately. I do have some other news, though. I've taken up poker, online poker. I just finished 3rd place in an online Satellite tourney but only 1st place mattered. I'm reading all kinds of books and have improved my gave immensely. I like the lower variance that comes with poker. I still have a blackjack bankroll but it isn't what it once was. Besides, it happened again last week. I was at a casino and playing blackjack late into the night. I was down a few hundred and all of a sudden 13 suits or it seemed like that many started walking around like nuts. That gathered in a group (I kid you not) right behind me like a football huttle. It was weird. I assumed it was about me but I could have been completely wrong. I stayed and finished the shoe but asked the dealer, "What's going on ? Did someone over there win a lot of money or something?" He said he didn't know and was trying to figure that out as well. It seemed weird and I assumed it was about me after a pb brushed up really close to my back and basically rubbed unnecessarily against me as he walked by. I try not to be too paranoid and the break from blackjack has really helped because I wasn't nervous at the table at all. The huttle broke up after a few minutes but then almost intentionally, right in my line of sight, one pb and another were talking and looking at me. Anyway, I finished the shoe and went and played poker. Oh yeah, I was banned at the casino that now owns this one so I was asking for it but my break from blackjack seemed long enough that I decided to play anyway. Just wanted to say hey and Abraham, you must be one hell of a poker player because the online players are rather good. They are better than the B & M players. Glad to see you are all doing well and once I build my bankroll up a little more I might hit the tables again but not sure.
