Seeking Invitations!

[phantom007]

A month or two back, I rec'd a personal e-mail from ***re: LV in June! Had I have been able to attend, I could have met/played with him (I do not reallly mean "played with him"), but rather play BJ with him. Likewise, I could have met and "played with" the ***, again BJ only. Surprisingly, I had planned to be in LV during THAT time-frame...I cancelled due to using too many days of "paid vacation", which I needed to "save up" for future trip(s).

Anyhow, Mr. *** and/or ***, I sincerely appreciate said invitation! Living in Missouri, "social" and/or "professional" intercourse regarding BJ is hard to come by (no pun intended)!

But to the POINT of THIS POST:

(1) I have been a member of bj.21 for over a year...what do I have to do and/or who do I have to meet, so as to get invited to their regional parties?

(2) I have been a subscriber of rge.21 for over a year...now same has a "VIP Room" that requires one to be recommended and/or "vouched for". What do I have to do to accomplish same?

AND, (3) In about February of THIS year, I posted stuff regarding my PROPOSED LV TRIP...several Individuals posted responses, to which I gave in return, very personal data, and THEY DID NOT LOOK ME UP......or did they?

Phantom First of all I understand your frustration. I have been a member of Green chip for two years and I have been a serious AP for the last three. I paid my dues and weaved my way through the BJ community for at least a year. I posted. I communicated. I slowly but surely made friends with certain Pros who after some time of presenting myself and taking the chance of revealing who I was accepted me. It was not easy. The A.P. community inner circle is like the french underground. They are serious and aggressively protective of thier group. Even today I am trusted by a few well respected members in the A.P. community and they cannot convince other pros to meet me. It is that closed. The get togethers that you speak of are very difficult to get into. I had to have three very well recognized and highly respected P-R-O-F-F-E-S-S-I-O-N-A-L-'S vouch for me. Just getting to meet them and become friends was hard enough. If your serious about the game then you will have patience. The one thing I found that is worth wile is to play the game seriously, stay involved in the sites, and not worry about being invited. Your worth as a player will show and in time you will be accepted.

You cannot post so freely. That is what e-mail is for. Getting invited is a gift in this community. Careful the casino's do read this site.

 

[The Mayor]

It takes more than trust to get through the door.

I wanted to go to the GC party last October. I asked. Don Schlesinger was the Guest of HOnor. Adhoc was the organizer. I wrote to Adhoc and asked if there was any problem with my attending, he said that given my feelings towards Don Schlesinger, I wouldn't be going. Later I asked Stanford Wong if the fact that two people don't like each other is grounds to preclude one of them from the GC party. He said emphatically not, the only ground was trust.

I am permanently banned from posting on RGE (because I didn't want Don to correct my grammar and said so -- I also encouraged would-be software buyers to seek independent reviews -- that was all it took). A party with them? You gotta be crazy!

As for Arnold Snyder -- I have more respect for that man than for my dog, and for those who own dogs you know what I mean. I trust him to keep out intruders, fight the bad people, and protect my interests more than any single force in the community. But a party? Hardly. Either you're on a first name basis with someone who goes to the parties, or else forget it.

The politics of these little groups are fierce. A great first step is simply stopping by bj21.com next time you are in Vegas and meeting the staff. You might even meet the man himself. They are very nice folks, and run a class-act.

That sucks!!!!!!!! Hey Mayor when I have a party your going to be the guest of honor...you just have to bring the beer! I agree with his honor BJ21 is a class act. I asked for a autographed copy of PROBJ wammo I got it signed by the Black Jack god himself Stanford Wong!!! They sent it to me express mail! I suscribed to cbjn just hours before the price hike and I was charged the new fee. When I contacted BJ21 to ask about the price difference Mr Wong did not even flinch. He gave the old price without asking. Every thing they do there is followed by ancient business philosophies like the customer is always right! My experience with Mr Snyder and his site has been just as good. AP.com is different and does have a nerve that they follow. I have had good experiences with them but then I am a neophyte in this game so I have had no issues with anyone. This site well this is my home! The only issue I have with this site is that we need to have more get togethers with the trusted inner circle which I am working hard to be part of! Hey say a prayer for Barry White. The world changed when Sinatra died and bottomed out now that the seductive songster has passed on. His songs can still make a women swoon! ASk my buddy Ploppy Jimmy he scored last trip to Vegas on three chicks and he owes it to a stiff diet of Barry White.

Barry White, huh? I'll have to keep that in mind! And was it Barry White once the twins were back in the room or before?
