Posted this on a local bicycle forum today (edited it slightly..) Hey guys and gals, my name is Edward. I am 21 yrs old. I am a card counter/AP turned degenerate poker player who quit his job while completely broke to chase a girl from Seattle to Kansas. I discovered that she is very violent...

Wouldn't you want to be making more splits to defend your match play? Essentially you are splitting for less so you want make splits that maximize the odds of winning your match play.

EXGM, After reading your introduction I was left with the same impression as Machinist, that you likely left on bad terms with the Griffin Agency, hence you coming here to spill the beans to all of us. It seems that is not the case? What exactly are your motivations for coming here to share...

If we are entering the game with a positive expectation wouldn't the True Count Theorem suggest we take the game with more remaining cards, because we will be able to play more hands with the same advantage? Waaiiiiit a second, I might be overlooking some details.. I think the question in...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but they can't make you pay for something they already comped you. Worst case scenario they just revoke your comp.

I got a job, which is really what I had planned to do all along. I think I had said that in this thread somewhere. This original post was written pretty toungue-in-cheek as I had just lost my previous job with no warning during an all time low financial point since I first took an interest in...

Not every dealer is a toke hustling asshole, only about 99%.

The main problem imo is that you've only been at the table for 6 minutes. It would be extremely helpful to have a feel for what the pre-flop raiser's range is and how often he is continuation betting on the flop. I agree with Moo that you could call on the flop. If he does not already have...

The problem with attacking weakness in a loose ploppy infested game is that people will call with any chance of drawing out. I would say just play very tight under the gun(first to act pre-flop) and loosen up as the button approach's. You can loosen up pretty significantly if you're on the...

Seconded. It's post's like these that keep me reading these forums. Keep em' coming AM!!

I'm not to sure about the point of this post, you're saying that LV Bear is an excellent AP who's blackjack wins appear exaggerated because he isn't careless in divulging info about the "other games" he plays? My theory is that c_st is an obsessively paranoid Harrah's exec. trying to bum out...

There are probably a few that aren't so obvious. How about something like A2/T4v7? A2 often makes 18+, but also has BJ potential. Whereas T4 is much less likely to make a hand. I'm tempted to think the 3:2 instant payoff is enough to sway the decision, but I wouldn't mind knowing the correct...

Good luck, I hope you double your roll during your trip!

With 16K on that game there is a decent chance you will end up like me, BROKE!:eek:

Off the top of my head I would think $100-2X$250 would make at least $100/hr. Just try to take a few breaks when the count tanks early in the shoe. Also try to enhance the game by counting burns/bottoms/middle cards when the cut card is removed/whatever else you can find.
