So I count through a deck for about 30 mins a day, play hands on my computer at work for about an hour a day, probably less. I love Blackjack because it reveals little suprises to me the more a learn about it. Blackjack is the only hobby that has really caught my attention since my interest in computers caught my attention 7 years ago.
And what do I get- a girlfriend who calls me obsessive.
i find a great hobby and the verbal fists start flying.
"when is this little obsession of yours going to stop?"
"so are you going to blow our life savings someday when we are married?"
"i'm not addicted, it's a fun hobby" - "see, you are in denial"
oh man...I try to explain to her the philosophy of card counting. If you are going to play, play right, gain the edge in the long run.
Has anyone encountered this? Do I need to dodge the bullet or what?
