HI everybody !!!

Hi , about 5 weeks ago i found this site and i have been reading the posts which i found (many of them) very interesting and insightful. Since english is not my mother language, forgive me when i make mistakes (but i'll try my best). I was introduced to blackjack around 1995, and since then i developed a fascination for the game. I read several books (about 25) and i really enjoyed every single one, even though in many cases i didn't fully took advantage of all the insights i could get from the books since i never learned to count cards due to lack of time. I tried to learn the hi-low system a few years ago, but something always interrupted my practice sessions and then i would never go back to practice. (perhaps i wasn't determined enough to learn it) Despite of i know that card counting is the only way to beat the game, i've been only playing perfect basic strategy shoe games (6-8 decks) since 95' . I can say that i lost more than i won but believe it or not... i t is not that much. Besides, the comps i think make up for some losses. I would appreciate your comments on this part. I think i've been somehow "lucky' (that's all i guess it could be), i can play for hours in most cases 6,8,10,12 hours... and (my record was 26 hours) ..many many times break even or sometimes lose not too much money($100 or so considering i play the $15 and $25 table)... or end up with some winnings. Some times i go to the casinos with friends who also play BS but for some reason most of the time i'm the only one who last at the tables...(others mainly go broke)and when i see that happen i have to leave because most of the time when i played "heads on" with the dealer i lost. I know this is just "the fluctuations" are "being nice to me"...RIGHT??????. I have decided to learn the KnockOut system. I feel ready to learn to count cards,why?..i play BJ very fast, i hit when i have to hit...i stand when i have to stand...i play like a robot..NO EMOTIONS ( except when i win a lucky big bet) I feel is time to go to the next step. Now i have the time and determination to do it. I found out that my brother has casinoVerite (he said he used it only 2 times and has no time to use it)) so he is going to let me practice .Thank you in advance for reading my post, i hope nobody felt to sleep while reading

I take it you drive one?

Welcome to the site, glad to have you. Read posts by the Warriors here and you can get a good head start. Be careful.

Read the Mathman thread. Get Blackwoods E Book, Legends of Blackjack, see the thread under General.

Post nothing about the location of fine games.

Welcome indeed tiburon11. English is my mother language and I can only wish I express myself as well as you did.

I have only been counting a handful of years and have only been on this site for a couple years, but have learned volumes from the community that posts here. More than the dozens of books I have combined. The people here are most generous in sharing their knowledge and experiences and I never get tired of expressing my gratitude. I'm sure you will find them to be very helpful. Best of luck to you.

Oh, yeah my writting is much better than my conversation...i have a very strong accent when speaking in english :laugh: . i'm hispanic.
Thanks for the welcoming Creeping Panther, i will read the threads you mentioned.
