I had actually contacted the mods regarding deleting my account about a week ago as I had no longer wanted to participate on this forum. I post this now only to express my great approval of Ken's decision. Despite there being other sites for AP, this is probably one of the single greatest...

This is very much off.

Please tell me you are not lying your head on the rail for OCP. Spaw

JG says it best: "I don't take issue with experts killing games by destroying them with huge wins. But I definitely take issue with the WASTING of games by players who should know better." I'd rather have the situation you described than a bunch of nickel players waste the game away with such...

Here are some (harsh) words from JG that I thought were relevant to the discussion at hand: ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Five Deadly Venoms OK, enough is enough. I admire the effort, especially if it was motivated by the Good Book, but you guys...

Automatic Monkey, I'm glad it doesn't seem you were offended by my last post. I probably should have used other terms than the pathetic remark. The flaw in your logic is that you're seeing this crappy game as if it was in a vacuum. By being terribly obvious, you're making it highly likely that...

It looks like a very useful thread is about to go in a useless direction. Spaw

I agree with sucker. Distinguish between them being able to see and actually seeing it. They could, but they probably won't. I'm not saying you're going to be able to get a perfect read while sitting like a patron, but in a good game, you'll probably get A/2-3/4-10/Paint, which carries a huge...

Seriously people, if you're going to play these games, please play them exactly as described by Tulip. The worst thing is that the people who are going to ruin these games are probably going to be doing so playing for nickels. They will prevent the action of those who would have been able to hit...

Automatic Monkey, I certainly don't mean to offend you in anyway, but that is just pathetic. Please stop doing this immediately. Let me dispel the myth that you have to sit low, sit far back, or be short to implement this strategy. You absolutely do not. If the game is good, you will see what...

Flash cites the figure often on here, and it would be really easy to look up probably on WoO or using Casino Verite products. I believe that the player will win something like 43-43% of hands. Spaw

You are playing a type of a positive progression. You are, therefore, placing your higher bets into counts that are on average slightly negative. You are raising your bets after you win, which will weakly correlate to when more 10s, As, and 9s come out of the shoe. After you win, the count will...

There is a store that is local to me that has signs on their tables indicating that, "cheques are not to be exchanged with unknown guests." In practice this doesn't mean that you are forced to play rated, but you are forced to show the PB your ID before playing. You will then be referred to...

Perhaps HC'ing may somewhat be a gateway. I don't know if I would have accepted the large number of heavy payoff errors that I did the other night had I been ignorant to HC'ing. (And I consider continuing to play a game with EV = 95% due largely to payoff errors to be a little more sketched...

He does not expose his HC. In fact, this particular dealer has the by far the cleanest dealing procedure making the play impossible. It is pretty clear that he is knowledgeable of the play. I never even thought of this possibility. This theory seems to fit extremely well. He is so over the...
