My turn....
OP, here's where I think the frustration with new players stems:
- If a player is brand new to counting in general, there is so much info on the internet that, aside from asking something like 'I've been looking at two systems. These are the games available to me. I think x system is best suited for my situation. Opinions?', it sounds like the new player hasn't done their homework or isn't bright enough to last long cc'ing. No one is going to do the basic legwork for anyone. Unlike me, most people have a life.
- Once a player begins play inside a casino, questions like, 'I'm having a tough time with x. Will someone please tell me if this is ordinary and, if so, does anyone have tips for me to improve?' are appropriate. Statements like, 'If I leave a winner every time, I'll always be a winner.' are not.
- When a player says, 'I have x bankroll and I know I'm going to be a winner...', most experienced players view that attitude as naive. Until a new player has many, many hours under their belt, how they deal with things like variance, the grind, etc. is completely unknown. You will lose. Hopefully you won't go broke, but you should already know the chance, in percentage points, that you might bust out. Again, reading through the vast amount of material available here and elsewhere prior to asking something like 'Why is everyone so rude? I just want some help, but I haven't read enough to know what I need help with exactly!' will lead the new player to ask intelligent questions rather than ask questions that give the appearance that they want a babysitter, not a mentor.
- I hate to say this, but if someone says, 'I play with my GF and the elderly, many of whom are schizos, bi-polar, etc. I'm getting some solid experience because my opponents live on the boundries of society!', they are only going to be met with sharp remarks. If they don't understand why, they haven't read enough or are not ready mentally/emotionally for AP blackjack.
- Did I say that no one is going to babysit a new player? The folks here really will help someone who is trying to help themself. If it doesn't seem that's the case, the new player is asking the wrong questions. The right questions should be intuitive. If they aren't, see: 'they haven't read enough or are not ready mentally/emotionally for AP blackjack.'
- Every experienced player knows that the majority of new players will not last. The players who will last are not asking the questions or making the comments you have made. It doesn't mean that you're hopeless, but it does mean that you need to step back and take a look at your approach if you're serious about pursuing AP blackjack.
Best of luck, and I wish you well.
