Well friends, what a messed up 4 days it's been for me on this site which I have come to like so much. After a rather unusual backoff last week, which left me quite uncomfortable, I decided to take a short break while I re-evaluated things. When you play as much as I do, these breaks are sometimes necessary, just not usually for this reason. So in the course of this re-evaluation of things. mainly my procedures, I posted about the situation, hoping to gain some perspective from other players who may have encountered unusual events like this. And I did get some useful input, although not a whole lot. Instead, I mostly found myself defending and explaining my past procedures, which is ok, led to a some good discussions.
During the course of this weekend, while spending so much time online, I discovered, what I am sure many of you also did or at least now realize, the huge influx of new posters, with similar names and posting styles. The only reason I brought this to the attention of both management and other members is because of the slim possibility that rather than a troll or person with no life, this could possibly, (remote, but possible) be a fishing expedition. So I got caught up in that possible conspiracy theory. My apologizes to any of our new members who are legit and just entered the forum at the wrong time.
At any rate, it's time for me to get back to work. I have decided to make some minor changes to my approach to the game as well as my use of the message boards. No I am not leaving the BJ message board community, but I am going to revert back to my original purpose of visiting these sites, increasing my knowledge and improving my game and move away from the social aspect of it, which I have enjoyed and it has filled a void in that area of my life (not being able to talk blackjack with friends), but I have just shared to much info and experiences which have no doubt left me vulnerable. So I will continue reading daily, and posting regularly and hopefully contributing, but I am going to limit myself strictly to the blackjack and card counting topics that are most beneficial to me and am going to be more discreet and a little less open and sharing of details on the open board.
My continued appreciation for all the members of this site and for managemnet for making it possible.
