This is an anonymous poll to see how much time Blackjackinfo.com members devote to advantage play at Blackjack.

I like the idea of a poll-less poll. Let people think about what it means to themselves instead voting and engaging in arguments over terms. Call it an existential poll. There's a reason I quoted Nietzsche and Kierkegaard in the first pages of MB.:)

edit: You ruined it by adding an actual poll.:)

Is this actual table time, or time spent scouting as well? :eek:
Good question. It is an AP activity, but for purposes of this poll it is not Advantage Play per se, accent on "play". I would exclude it even though it's part of the "job." If you think this is wrong, please reply back.

PS--I think the same goes for back counting, but it's a close call.

No. I think that is fine. Just wanted to clarify, so as to compare apples to apples.

Don't ask for clarification.
Don't ask for definitions.
No comments or thoughts!:joker::whip:

Why are you asking Aslan?

I am curious how much time you spend on playing vs posting.

I think in order to get a good reference for the poll, we should first decide what the definition of a professional player is first. ICNT care to help?

Play? Who has time to play with all the posting that needs to be done? :laugh:

Since I have been a member, I have posted many of my trip reports here. You can search for them under my username mainly in Blackjack-General, and possibly in Eastern US and Las Vegas. Have you posted any trip reports? I'd like to read them.

:joker::whip:Hey, this poll has nothing to do with defining professional play. I think you're in the wrong thread, SOH. :laugh: See the thread titled, Poll: Are you a professional blackjack player? You will find everything you ever wanted to know about what a professional is, and some things you didn't want to know. :laugh: Now get out of here! :whip::joker::cool::cool2:

I do not travel.

It would be a challenge to find your trip reports in your long list of posts. I would not dare to try.

A trip includes a trip to your local casino. ;)

Below are some of my trip reports. I used the Blackjackinfo.com search tool. It really isn't difficult. Go to advanced search and type in a key word like "trip," "report," or "outing," type aslan as username, and specify "find threads started by user," and voila.

Really, you should learn to use the board tools; they come in real handy and will often answer your questions without initiating a new thread that has already been discussed several times over.
