i appreciate you all standing up for the OP. maybe he is playing for fun. fine. maybe i should stick to only responding to posts in the "card counting" forum. fine. OP, you never posted you were playing only for fun in your original post, only that you were trying to show that it is nice when card counting "works". stop being defensive and take constructive criticism (even if i dont give it out so nicely :devil
. also OP, i will not post my profits over these boards, there are 1-2 ppl on these boards who know it and know i am serious about this game. i have to prove myself to no one but myself.
i do apologize for the tough "love", but i still will not back down and support any mediocre play. it is not you, but these days there is too much support on these boards for mediocrity, and maybe the posts supporting you were the last straw for me. i have mostly withdrawn from constant posting here due to this attitude of praising/supporting mediocrity. and that is fine, that is what people come here to do, i will not argue. i will stay to some of the other sections or other sites altogether anyway.
as for whoever said i was a bitter old man, you are wrong on both counts. i am neither old nor bitter (and have been riding all time highs for the last 3 months and couldnt be happier). i am only bitter at the attitudes on these boards that has come about in the last 6 months or so. i think authors/players like bryce carlson would be incensed to read posts here sometimes, but i do read them for entertainment and to learn a few things in other threads/sections.
finally, there IS indeed a difference though between your "luck" and mine despite whatever anyone says. yours will mask your current style of play for your entire playing career if you continue on that same style. my simple "1-2% advantage" will manifest itself above any variance in about 9x100 = 900 hours max, much more likely less than that, as that is about 9N0 at only 100 hands per hour and i play more hands per hour than that. we both are subject to the same luck for any given session, but in the long run, your luck is worse than mine :devil:
i wish you better luck in the future,
"bitter old" rukus
ps - sage, plug in the rule set i posted into cvcx online and tell me the N0 you see in terms of hands. divide by 50 and there is 3400 hours...
pps - blackjacker 2, check my past recent comments in other threads for non "bitter" help offered to others. its good you come in here making more assumptions than your 7 posts should allow. i can delete my post under "zen count" thread explaining the benefits of 1d tc conversion over 1/4d tc conversion if you would like to take a crack at it in a more "helpful" and peaceful manner...
