Yes, The player I did refer to does play in the Reno area. You will find plenty of material about the subject in the Archives of various sites including BJ21.com. Or, you can join Zen Zone the forum and ask Moses as that is his area of expertise.
BoSox, have you been to Reno and if so recently, like the last 5 years? I made 3 trips to Reno this year after not going for a number of years because my late partner didn't care for Reno. I sort of like it. Has a feel of yesteryear to it, which I like. Problem is you can't get any real money down. During the week anyone betting more than red is an oddity. On the weekend, you can get some green, to light black, but not much more and not for very long. The best a green black player can do is roll into town 2-3 times a year for 2 or 3 days over a weekend. Nothing more will be tolerated.
The idea of someone playing green/black, let a lone higher, for 30 years in Reno is a fantasy. Pure twilight zone stuff.
Now you seem to want to put Moses and expertise in the same sentence. I am going to try to be fair here. Moses has a good bit of knowledge about single deck blackjack. And Single deck blackjack which is alive in this one small area, closely protected, is the one remaining game, where some of the thinking from last century still hold, things like higher counts and side counts.
The problem is the stakes. You can not play the stakes Moses claims to play in Reno, for more than a couple days, let alone 30 years, BoSox! Does THAT little (big) inconsistency not bother you? Because without that the house of cards comes crumbling down and this "expertise" that you are so impressed with is simply a small time player, playing $5 blackjack, maybe supplementing whatever income.
AND there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's what he should have said to begin with. Then he would have been rightfully recognized as a low limit single deck specialist, playing probably the lone remaining single deck location left.
