Na mate, I'm butt ugly :p. That's just a cover photo for my blog to protect my identity when I thought I was going to be a serious card counter. Funny how quick life changes.

Yep, I play in Nairobi. Dealers: Yes the dealers here are bad and often make mistakes. It is quite common to be given trainee dealers who are incredibly slow and really bring down your hourly EV. I have often requested dealers like this to be replaced as your EV drops by more than 50%...

I am quite happy with my poker results and have played enough hours to know that I was not just running well. If you could see the skill level of the people I play against and the amount of money they throw around you would be shocked. I am definitely not claiming to be pro material. In...

It's partly cultural, but mainly damaging to future prospects. Like I said, I come from a small community, and where I am from they are key to my business success. There is a certain astigmatism towards gambling - and it would be harmful to my current business endeavours.

Dang it! Dang it! Now that I've been lured back on to the site, all I can think about is dusting off the old skills and heading off to the local for a quick hour or two! Going to watch apprentice instead :mad:

One last blog post My last post on the blog! http://confessionsofacardcounter.blogspot.com/2010/11/end-of-my-career.html If anybody fancies taking it over, let me know and I will transfer the name to you.

Greetings all from your long lost disciple! It has been many months since I have trolled this website. Card Counting is so out of my blood that it seems like another lifetime, even though I only stopped last April. Reasons I stopped: 1. In the end, with my limited bankroll, crowded tables...

Blog is not gone ... yet! Don't be so rude lol! The blog is still there, I just let the domain go and have stopped posting. Here is the blogs address: http://confessionsofacardcounter.blogspot.com/ What happened to me? No, I didn't lose money. I am still up. In the end, I have...

Where am I going? Whist I'm online today - been pondering my future in counting cards: http://www.confessionsofacardcounter.com/2009/07/where-am-i-going.html (Archive copy)

Excuse me sir, are you counting cards? Been offline again for a while - but here's my latest blog post: http://www.confessionsofacardcounter.com/2009/07/excuse-me-sir-are-you-counting-cards.html (Archive copy)

Sigh, wish I was an idjiot then, guess I'm over qualified lol. I used to sell on eBay many years ago, but when relocated had to stop due to PayPal problems.

Hi All, I took the plunge and invested in a domain for my blog: http://www.confessionsofacardcounter.com/ (Archive copy) It was originally intended to be a fly-on-the-wall look at my development as a card counter, but I'm just posting things as they come up now. Think there are some good...

Screw counting cards. I'm moving to Canada and going to start selling stuff on eBay. Anyone gonna tell me how I can get started? What is this eBay anyway:grin:?

ICNT - loving the graph. Gives everyone a real idea of the rollercoaster ride they're in for. Me - When i first started I was doing between 120 - 180 a month. But since Mar have clocked in a measly 12 hours. Decided going pro was not in my best interest as other doors are opening for me...

I am now, yes. I was previously using the late surrender chart, now am using the early surrender chart. Against a 10 I surrender, 14, 15, 16. 2*7 and 2*8. I also surrender a 16 against a 9. That's it. However, this is basic strategy and not indices. I have yet to see indices for...
