Are there many pro 21 players out there who play for greens and/or blacks? If so what kind of cover do you lay down and how long have you been at it? any other glory/horror stories you want to share?

There aren't a whole lot of full time counters out there that solely make their living off of BJ. The fact is that you can't always play an area forever. Many try at full timing it, but find they can't handle the swings. Everyone has an "unblievable" bad luck story of how they lost 20 double downs in a row, or lost for 20 sessions straight. The lifestyle can be very detrimental to many aspects of a person's life. I myself make most of my money right now at BJ, but know I won't forever. I just won't be able to play the best casinos forever. More and more casinos are making worse rules all the time. Two decades ago, you could use a decent count system and play a SD with awesome rules for real long sessions. It just isn't a reality anymore. To those that pull it off full time and make 50k a year or more, all the power and respect to you. I myself will continue to do it full time in the summer for as long as I'm still in school and maybe for a few months after I graduate, but I know that I'll never last for years down the road. I just want to make what I can and still be able to go back to LV when I'm 40 and make some change on the side.
Yes, you can(or I can) play for years and years in the same area as long as you're no big threat(which is 99% of us). Not all casinos sweat a card counter,many will even joke about it. A good personality and act surely helps. Can you make millions,buy boats,cadillacs and blah,blah? No, you cant.....or no, I cant. Can you eat good? Yes.
It's certainly not gravy. The stories are too radical to tell. Anyone who says(or thinks) it's easy, is a liar or a dreamer.

I agree 100%. But when you get into the groove, lets call it BJ nirvana well then it becomes a way of life. In this way it does become easier to do and is pleasurable.
