Re: I hope it is better than advantageplayer.com
There was a thread about Don's "never" list. T-Hopper questioned the wisdom of parts of the list - like "never play SD". As usual, Don's fangs came out, his heels dug in, and he blathered like a fool - which I know he is not - that is until you disagree with him. I posted about my SD experience (3,000+ hrs) and used an anecdote about last Fri. night, when I spread red to black at Circus-Reno. Because my experience is unlike his, he questioned the veracity of the post and stated that the people at that website knew that you couldn't last 5 min. in Northern Nevada playing like that. Of course, that's nonsense, just like Don's rule is nonsense. I responded, perhaps a little acerbically, but just as vehement. I might have made (OK I did make) a comment like "since Arnold Snyder is the Bishop, Don could be the Pope, since he thinks he is infallible." Actually, an accurate sentiment. Don started making less sense than Clarke Cant, claiming to know people with 10 million dollar bankrolls (what kind of a bulge would that make in your pocket?) and that those players don't play SD. A non-sequiter, perhaps? Now, Don has done great work in BJ, patiently answers questions, and tirelessly contributes to the knowledge bank of BJ. Until someone offers a different point of view than his. Then he begins frothing at the mouth, blathering incoherently, making impertinent, nonsensical arguments, and dismissing everyone as insignificant, no nothing boobs, as he turns into a meglomanical, self righteous, know it all, lord of all things, grand pooh-bah, holier than thou, almighty master, the alpha and the omega of the blackjack universe. Unless you genuflect, kiss his BJ decoder ring, kiss his ass, and declare yourself unworthy for even hinting that he may be incorrect about something, anything, then you will be banished from kissdonsassdotcom forever and will be deemed unworthy of posting anything. The thread was removed and 2 more posts of mine were not put up - even tho they were about playing in Reno. I have probably played more single deck blackjack in Reno in the last ten years than anybody. I know virtually every square inch of this town. But that doesn't matter. Don has ruled. No one should ever play SD blackjack.
