You are just full of crap. You presented yourself as something that couldn't be.....a professional player playing exclusively in Reno. I called that out. And now you have come clean that you made 10k a year for a decade. That is part-time, recreational type play. There is nothing wrong with that. If that is what you had claimed at the beginning, this all could have been avoided.

Everything else and your hurt feelings and need to threaten me and all that is just baloney.

 

KJ has alot of quit in him.

 

I happen to thoroughly enjoy how easy it is to get far under his skin by telling the truth about him.

He's wanted SO VERY MUCH to try and make others believe he "really doesn't give a crap" about what "losers like Tater, Singer, etc say about him". Then as the most predictable fool who's ever posted on internet gaming forums, he continuously show how much he can't take it, and how he FEVERISHLY must read every word that's written about him! And why is that? BECAUSE HE CANNOT, FOR EVEN A MINUTE, HANDLE THE FACT THAT OTHERS CONTINUALLY PROVE HOW FULL OF SHIT HE IS....and he MUST set the record straight, according to his weak, twisted mind

In his latest essay we're treated to how the pro who just thoroughly excoriated him in front of those he claims to have the "utmost respect from" is really someone who "mostly agrees with him". Hahahaha! When a guy like Don S.--whom I just read up on--tells you that you don't know how to read or think when it comes to blackjack, and then follows it up with more lashes out at the woodshed, you ain't worth a shit. But hey--all those "other pros" that he rubs elbows with who love him: they make up for it all!

Then of course kew tries to s-m-o-o-t-h-e o-v-e-r his "relationship with his best friends--the Nersesians! As any true "Man About Town" would do....

However, there IS something missing here. Notice how he skipped over his pretend "insider information" relationship with the big boys at MGM. MDawg must still be shaking in his boots!

Tater says: Yet he never names them. Either because that don't want to be associated with a liar and a coward. Or they don't exist.

 

Yes he probably learned his lesson from claiming he has the utmost respect from Don S. Then BOOM!....down comes the hammer of Undeniable Truth.

The story of little man's sad life.

 

No. My issue is you made it personal. Now you finish it. Show me where I ever claimed any amounts.

If you're going to try to be forum sheriff expect a few fights at the OK corral.

We will settle this. If you can live with being a coward that is for you. But someday, someone, somehow, somewhere will send you straight to hell for being a liar. You've had close calls already.

Fake death, bad heart, covid. Pay attention to the signs idiot.

 

KJ writes: Moses's claim was that he was a professional blackjack player playing Reno for many years. Moses collapse was a little different than the other two. He just panicked and revealed his real name and identity and that he has won 10k a year (average) over the last 10 years. Not exactly professional level.

Tater writes: Never claimed to be a pro. It was more like being on scholarship. Play well and I was well taken care of. Blackjack did consume a great amount of my time. Other investments served far better with less time invested.

I should've also bought the house down the street for $135k. It's worth over $500k now. Hindsight in 20/20. I should've went in deeper in stocks in March 2020. But I was focused on helping a relative buy their first house. Those are financial regrets. They flipped for $50k in a year. And up another $50k on condo reinvested.

But no regrets in blackjack. I took what they gave me. Had I played more I would've made more. But other investments would've suffered more than I made in blackjack.

KJ is a dime trying to compete with a dollar. He will not succeed.

 

KJ writes: A while back I was playing on the Strip, overnight on a weekend. I play the Strip several times a month as part of my expanded rotation of spreading play amoung many casinos, and shifts. When I play the Strip, particularly at busier times, it is an opportunity for me to bump my max bet up past my normal just under $500 level, through that $500 threshold, to about $800, because of the larger action.

So on this particular night just as I jumped from $400 to $800 after a win, a pit guy who happened to be standing nearby, gave me a disapproving glance. I don't know what made me say it, but I looked directly at him and said "I am going to keep doubling until I lose". Well that insured that he stayed nearby watching, which was stupid.

So I won my $800 hand and bumped to $1600, where I received a double down hand. The pit guy actually seemed to be routing for me as he said "give him a 10". I didn't get a 10, but I did win the doubledown and attempted to bump to $3200. The table max was $3000 and that was all he would allow me to bet. I played 4 rounds at that table max winning 2, including a BJ, and had a push before I finally lost the last hand of the shoe. Having shown my full spread (and then some) I colored up and exited.

So several firsts for me. First time I played table max. First time I max bet at that level....I have only bet $1000 maybe 3 other times.

In hindsight, everything about this spur of the moment episode was a bad idea. While enough time has passed that, there doesn't appear to have been any consequenses of my actions, there very well could have been, even after the fact with a review of my play.

In addition there is the issue of variance. I play a preset spread and while this particular circumstance my preset limits are about double, jumping to this much higher max bet for only a very few hands like this invites extreme variance. While I was lucky and registered a nice win, I could just as easily have lost 5 figures and then spent the next.....I don't know how long, trying to win back at my normal much smaller spread. Even playing at an advantage (+EV for those rounds), playing a max bet almost 8 times my normal for just a handful of rounds, feels like gambling to me, because it is for only a few rounds. It just defies my whole, grind it out, approach.

Having had some time pass, I can only conclude, very bad idea, with very good results. Thought?

Tater says: KJ claims variance. How about undisciplined idiocy. Now wonder you lose your ass.

 

I don't believe he knows what variance really means, and that story of his is just another concoction in order to garner attention.

The only thing I believe about what he says is about his infected blood, diseased heart, and that his sugar daddy keeled over from aids...leading to his clan being forced from the guy's home because it wasn't in any of their names. I mean, who goes from a house with a pool to a shitty high-rise condo anyway?

Your problem is you have a very bad habit of never shutting up, particularly in relation to a bunch of compulsive gambler morons on another so-called forum who joy in egging you on. This has now spread into your real life. Beware the consequences!

 

Your problem appears to be that you have little to no understanding what card counting is all about? There is great variance in card counting. At times the player is playing at negative expectation. That would be any negative counts played and even counts of zero and less than +1. That is the majority of counts. Only a small percentage of the time is the player at positive expectation and that expectation is small. That is why he needs to have much larger wagers out at those small number of counts that are positive expectation. This makes for a very small advantage and at the same time, huge variance. It has always been that way which is why it has always been known that a player counting cards needed a significantly large bankroll the withstand that very normal large variance and swings.

Anyone coming along with some magical card counting system that eliminates variance is not only full of crap, but simply doesn't understand the simple math of card counting.

Now the easiest method would be to play table minimum at all negative expectation counts (counts of zero and negative counts) and table max at all positive expectation counts (+1 and above). This would require an enormous bankroll but would extract every bit of advantage possible. Unfortunately that would be obvious after about 10 seconds as those table max bets would fall outside each casinos comfort level. So the trick is you have to understand what levels are tolerated during what times and circumstances, for all different days, times of days, weekends nights ect.

I have long ago learned and understand these limits for the games I play. That is exactly why I have been able to do what I do for more than a decade in Las Vegas.

So covid came along and things changed. Initially fewer spots open to play (3 at a table). Masks required which was great for players. Makes it harder for pit and surveillance to recognize regular players. Pit people had new covid related responsibilities, initially even responsible for wiping down chairs. And players like me wanted to take advantage of this situation, playing higher stakes than I normally would be able to (comfort level).

The first year 2020, my initial response was to just double my stakes to make up for some lost time (casinos closed) and double my expectation. This would also result in increased variance, but those of us that understand the game accept that. It is only people like you that get excited about that, again because you don't understand that variance is part of the game. It just so happens that at that exact point that I doubled stakes, I hit a pretty good negative run of 30k in a week or 10 days (maybe 2 weeks). Nothing extraordinary, just seemed bigger to me because of the increased (double) stakes I was playing. It took a while to overcome that short negative run and in that shortened year that resulted in a year far below expectation. Nothing extraordinary about any of that. Just bad timing. And bad, but not unusual variance.

So year 2 (2021), things were returning more to normal. Mask requirements disappeared for a few months and then returned. Covid all but went away and then came back. Pit folks had settled into their new routines. Rather than just double my stakes which at many of the casinos in my rotation would place me outside their comfort levels and risk longevity, I customized my spreads and max bets for each location, including time of day and day of week. Specifically, I wanted to bet as much as I could at the bigger strip properties during busier times. I tried several different techniques of doing this. I shared one of them, which you reposted above. While it worked for that night, with no consequences, with a little hindsight it was plain to see it would lead to many problems long-term. Those limits $3000 were too high for a player playing regularly.

Trial and error. A lot of figuring out limits and what is and isn't tolerated comes down to trial and error. That is all this was. While it was profitable for that night, it was not a viable long-term strategy for a player with an eye on longevity. But you have to understand the 2 things about the game. 1). Variance is part of the game. The game is about getting large bets out during a small number of advantageous times and that is the formula for variance. And 2). once you understand and accept the variance, it is about creative ways to do so and stay within comfort levels. And like I said, a lot of this is trial and error. You have seized on one that while pretty creative, wasn't going to be beneficial long-term. That is all it was.

 

You mean there's other forums where kew gets humiliated because he doesn't know how or when to keep his big mouth shut?

He just posted another long, rambling, repetitive essay filled with BS about me again on VCT. He's tortured, and after he reads here he tries to get it off his chest elsewhere because he's afraid of you over here.

I guess he's trying to pretend to be a masterful player by posting from yet another bj book above.

What an idiot. And who makes posts that long without cutting and pasting?

 

Give KJ a forum. And presto. You've got a liar, a coward, and long essay writer.

He can't shut up.

 

....and a fraud.

 

Blitzkreig writes to KJ: Okay so you're in fact lying as you stated in your original post that, "So several firsts for me. First time I played table max." If you've bet $500 at a different casino and that was the table max bet then you have bet the table max bet before, before betting that $3000 table max bet. It seems like you're ashamed that $500 was your very first table maximum bet at BJ. You shouldn't have to be but then again it's not nice to start telling fibs.

Here is the thing about you trolls. You are all over the place! Sometimes saying you want me to shut up. But then posting trying to entice me to respond. And when I do respond, you get all excited and jump up and down shouting "made him respond, made him respond".

But here is the thing. I post when and where I want. And I will never allow you trolls to dictate that.

 

KJ writes: Your problem appears to be that you have little to no understanding whatcard counting is all about? There is great variance in card counting.

Tater says: Not so much in a Tarzan, column, or percentage count in 1 or 2 decks. Knowing what has been played and what still remains is a huge advantage. Huge swings lead to quick backoffs. Play advantages. Not thresholds.

 

These so called trolls are only following you. Because you are a liar and a coward. You call people out and are afraid to do shit to back it up. So you make shit up about them. Friggin wimp.

 

KJ writes: Rob you are tolerated, even celebrated as ONLY a troll. And I will never allow a troll to dictate when and where I post. I don't give in to bullies and assholes, so you might as well give it up.

Tater says; You don't stand up to them either. Keep hiding. Forum administrators dictate when and where you post. Trolls just follow along and laugh at you.
