Totally disappointing Really thought that show left a lot to be desired. They didn't tell us it was opening day and was taped on the 5th (even though they finished at 1:30 am on the 6th)not the 6th like the promo said. The sixth was the final match. I was looking forward to seeing you guys on...

I don't know if I can believe much of that. From personal experience i find the exact opposite. (this through and including next week) I have seen great comps and promos for LESS than red and green players at strip properties. The Venetian has been extremely good about that. Maybe things are...

I watched it. Thought it would be interesting. Actually I became bored after a while. Really not as exciting as WSOP. Reverse finishing order: curtis connie grosjean konik blind lady. May take another look next week but I doubt it.

The last time you visted me you yelled at me because I screwed up a basic strategy move. But that is okay. I won't do that again. Thanks.

Retirement is slowly coming my way. My question is: Retire to Tucson (near the kids and grandkids) or to Vegas? We are leaning towards Tucson and keep Vegas a little thrill instead of a daily grind.

As a matter of fact that was mentioned. He was impressed with my "I can not do this" to 17 second counts. Said I needed to get down under 15 to have a shot at his team. There is NO money involved here. He is a personal friend doing in because he likes teaching it and doesn't want me to lose too...

My "teacher" came over and ran me through a few things to see how I have been doing. I have my deck count down to 17 so far. Still plugging away. Not bad for starting out at 37 seconds. Anyone ever have a count of 12 in a single deck? We had one last night. WOW. He has given me new exercises...

Sure, go ahead and ask. The Fabulous Florida Keys. He is a personal friend of mine. He just wants to see me survive Vegas (and other places--Nassau). He asks nothing. He is just doing this as a favor. Nice guy heh?

Re: one suggestion... He has pounded that concept in very well. BS first, bs later.

Had my first session of "beginning to count" with a professional last night. Very interesting. The big dark cloud of counting has lightened up a little bit. I learned reasons "WHY" you do things and a couple of techniques. But the major thing was the why. He gave me exercises to do daily and so...

Thank you for your response. I am always willing to learn. To answer your questions: Will be coming in right after my daughters wedding so slim will be slim. between 3 and 5K. closer to 3. yes. Haven't we all. Been on both sides of this. Enough to pay the airline bills and all incidentals...

Okay boys and girls, new meat. Beginning April 1st I will be trained by an expert card counter. I will be in Vegas in June. Is that long enough to learn anything to not leave the house, car and other property there or is more time needed? thanks
