    It has been a priviledge to learn from this forum developed from an inspirational advantage player with such professionalism and leadership. Thanks Ken. With respect, JC.

    Don't approach suspected AP's in a casino! I got backed off!!

    Not cool. Not a good move by the approacher. I've spotted a fellow counter in the past. Was dead on where I'd press up, reduce bet, etc... Was cool to see a fellow AP in action and would have liked to mention how we have the same interests, non-ploppies, advantage play type folk. Commend...

    High roller, low min table ownership.

    No, does not allow back bets. To kewl. Yeah, not technically a high roller. Compared to me he was. Base bet was ~$150, but flucuated to ~$500 from the little I saw. Great experiences and advice posted here. Place was not busy. May have been able to dabble w/ some friendly entry...

    High roller, low min table ownership.

    Gave in. Waited until the end of a shoe, end of high rollers table play. :mad: Something I didn't think I'd do when requested to hold off for a shoe to end. Was backcounting a would be nice table with just one player. Count for entry came, and was requested by the dealer on behalf of the...

    A story about J.G.

    May not be using his talents creating a tangible impact on society, but if this is what he truly enjoys, kudos to him. His ideas, along with other AP innovators have certainly inspired me with thinking outside the box, and not necessarily just advantage plays at the tables. Ie., hopefully just...

    How NOT to get targeted and robbed?

    stairwell safety? Sometimes I like to take stairs instead of the elevator. If in AC this maybe something to avoid? The stairwell can be dingy to begin with. Could be a place for some low life scum to wait for his next victim? Cameras? Guess it's safer to take the elevator? The thing I...

    Very annoying people - How to handle?

    entertaining replies I usually ignore the looks, mumbled comments of a ploppie when an index play is made, or how bad it is to mess up the card flow by wonging in/wonging out. My blood has boiled a few times, but kept it cool. There may be a time though when I'll just have to say something...

    Is this cover play hurting me?

    :laugh: I hear you there. Count gets to such a rare high number, catches me off guard, heart races, get flustered, and is hard to quickly calculate to such an above norm TC high of ~5. When this happens, it's usually so far at the end of the shoe, near cut card, I just keep the max bet with a...

    How to keep the count in your head

    Visualize an image Usual I’ll repeat the count in my head for slight pauses, but as others have mentioned, is rough with a slow dealer. When there is a distraction, or extended break in dealer action mid-shoe, such as ordering a drink, several people cashing in, chip fill, etc… I’ll use...

    Wheeling Island Eliminated Surrender

    Let the fools find out the hard way. The first thought that comes to mind is Sands in AC. I remember their transformation to be the mega slot king of casinos. Remodeled to have a small corner for table games with all remaining space solely for slots. That went well. Bankrupt, demolished...

    First time Vegas Questions

    Don't have current info regarding the games you're seeking but, As others have posted, it is dumpy, but with the indoor theme park seems good for the family. Could stay at a nearby cleaner casino and make visits there. Some well known places I enjoyed with the family: MGM Lion's habitat...
