how vegas has tightened up on the VBJ machines--not near as good

Sure you do. A snack machine, when your potato chips get stuck in one of the coils.

Buy a second one. You get good odds getting both

not sure i understand what u are saying, all i meant was that im WINNING--and the roll keeps growing and gets further from being broke. although i did admit most of the wins came from poker not BJ. to me a professional is someone who knows the correct strategy and can keep an accurate count. not necessary the guy with the biggest bankroll to put it into practice.

What he his saying is that if you are playing Video Poker and some of the other games you are mentioning your bankroll isn't really a bankroll. You are one bad loss from a wipeout. The fact that you are taking expenses out of your bankroll at this point practically guarantees a wipeout eventually, especially if you're playing anything with thin edges (like Video Poker or Video Blackjack).

Stick to 1/2 NL and other things where you can generate very big edges for your small bankroll. Thin edge high variance plays are best left to the big boys.
