Jim Kramer blackjack player

[sagefr0g]

did anyone catch the msnbc Tim Russert interview with Jim Kramer this evening. Kramer talked a bit and answered questions from Russert about his passion for playing blackjack. claims he is a really good player. seemed a bit nervous when Russert asked him how he does so well playing blackjack. at one point he told Russert "look i want to keep playing..." as he tended to avoid telling about his methods of play then side stepped the issue by talking about how one should never drink when playing blackjack lol....
he sort of alluded to basic strategy but not card counting. he did say he uses his phenomenal memory to the same degree that he keeps tabs on the stock market.
kind of interesting i thought.

In fact, the biggest complaint Paul gets on the campaign trail is from people claiming the Fed cut too much or not enough. But according the Texas congressman, this shouldn’t be the central bank’s job anyway.

“If you believe in free enterprise and capitalism,” Paul said, “you should have the market forces determining interest rates.”
