    "It isn't Mike's living room, it is a message board. And while there are rules, and sometimes the rules are posted, sometimes the rules are made up on the fly as you go. I was banned for something I posted on another message board"

    Has anyone noticed that kewlj guy has invaded just about every forum thread on GF and in the first paragraph always refers to his banning? No matter what the topic?
    I find this odd and a little obsessive. It's not just the off topic boards either. Some mod must have a full time job following him around.

    The thing about the main thread about the WOv topic is that the regulars, like myself, and freddy and LP9 rarely talk about ourselves. I have mentioned my banning in reference to defending my neighbors and critiquing their treatment.
    However I never posted quotes of my last posts at wov...arguing that there is nothing punishable there. The thread is not about me me me.

    But KJ feels its about me me me....and thats fine. There is room for everyone.

    The wov thread has no restrictions and it houses many kinds of personalities.

    i haven't noticed that at all in his posts outside the lounge so far -

    http://www.gamblingforums.com/search/member?user_id=502

    check out his posts in the blackjack and casino forums. haven't seen even a hint of the wov drama in those, and most are super informative and interesting posts, so i give him a lot of credit for that.

    KJ can add a lot to this forum with his knowledge and experience. He is very bitter about how it ended at WoV, why not let him vent and just don't read the posts if you are not interested? This forum is a better place with him here.

    You are about as far off base as you can be. I came here with the main intent to discuss my situation at WoV. I clearly stated that almost immediately. Several people encouraged me to stick around and participate in other areas, so I started 3 different threads, 1 about Valley forge casino law suit, 1 about the Riviera implosion, which each received a single reply, so there was no reason to continue. The third was about Religion/god that went off in a direction that I hadn't intended so I did not continue. I also posted half dozen times in a thread entitled "How many here actually gamble in a casino", in which I mainly posted information about different casino promotions in Vegas, for a newer member and resident of Las Vegas. None of these posts in these 4 other threads mention my experience at WoV.

    Other than that, 95% of my posts were on the topic of my experience at WoV, just as I clearly stated when I came here. I have done exactly what I said I was going to do when I came here, post mainly about my WoV experience. And doing that has brought new members (from WoV) to expand on the discussion that Larry and freddy have been discussing for several years. So I am not sure why this 'OH my god he is only talking about WoV' attitude. That is exactly what I stated when I started.

    Now it is true that the administrator moved some of those posts around and broke some of those posts off into different threads. So many are not in the original WoV dying thread where I originally posted them. That sounds like a complaint you should have with the administration, not with me.

    And btw, I would love to be having more blackjack and AP discussions. Up until 6 months ago, when things blew up, that was my main interest in message board participation. I specifically have a couple interesting things currently going on in my AP career/experiences that I would love to share. I am in my 14th year of APing for a living and am approaching a milestone of a million dollars in earnings. I don't say that to brag. A million dollars is not the that much money over such a period of time. It isn't 'sit back and relax money', just a decent living. Many/Most AP's make more than that much quicker than that. But it is a milestone and is relevant because when I started I had a 10 year, million dollar plan and it has taken considerably longer than anticipated.

    With a really good 2016, I thought I might hit this little milestone this year. I was just about 130k short coming into the year. 130k is above expectation for me. I have only had two 130k years in my career, 2012 and 2013, so I likely would have needed either a really strong year blackjack-wise (above expectation) or a couple really big hits on my supplemental machine play side of my year results and so far neither has occurred. Blackjack is just below expectation and our machine play is right at expectation with no really big hits. There is a whole six months left, so anything is still possible but it just has the feel that this little milestone, important to no one but me, probably will more likely occur sometime next year.

    Also my brother who is in only his second year of blackjack AP play, his first at the green to black level, is having a freakishly strong year. He is currently about 3 times EV or expectation. While I am so thrilled he is doing so well, and it is allowing him to build a decent bankroll, it just has the feel that the other shoe is about to drop. In his brief career, he has never experiences a substantial losing period, so while I am not wishing that on him, I am anxious to see how he handles that. It is easy to play when you are winning. It is how you handle the losing periods that really makes a professional AP.

    So I would love to talk about these things occurring in my AP life right now, but there just doesn't seem to be much interest in these topics on this site and I am not going to talk just to hear myself talk. I only do so if I think there are some folks that might benefit from such discussion.

    dude, dude, duuuuuuuuuuuude...are you kidding me? a ton of us would be ridiculously interested in reading this, re-reading it, and trying to absorb it like a tampon for elephants. don't judge interest just on replies as not all of us are qualified to give a proper response to ap heavy posts, but i would read the shit out of the posts detailing the things occurring in your ap life right now. i have no doubt it would read like a book and we would learn a lot, so i for one would be eternally grateful for this.

    if you post it, they will come. i have not doubt about that! it would also shut up everyone who thinks you're just here for the drama.

    to quote nike: just do it.

    whaddya say?

    What the admin do here is their business. It doesn't matter to me where they stick stuff. But your story has trickled in other threads, as you always insert reminders of yourself. Yes, you've done exactly what you intended to do, post all about YOU, YOURSELF and your banning from wov. You don't even see it. It's like describing the color blue to Stevie Wonder. There's talking about wov and there's talking about YOU with yourself...wov did this to me and they did this to me and mike did this to me....where's the actual wov part?
    That's mostly information posted by everyone else.

    Oh please, you're now going to have people beg for you to post your incredible knowledge here, but claim there's no interests of those topics? You didn't look around apparently. What a pompous hypocritical fraud you are kj.
    You aren't even worth continuing this thread. Not only are you full of yourself, you're so constipated it's squeezing your brain case.
    I don't think that kjisgay guys job was done, but oh well, maybe he got tired of the facade.

    Good luck with your bloated bruised ego and your other personalities. This isn't even interesting any more.
    And Homosexuality has nothing to do with any of this. It's all about your giant head and it keeps bumping into forum walls.

    Can I ask why YOU came to this site Nate? Looking at your 10 day history, most of your recent posts have complained about me and my posts criticizing WoV, or have been a complaint against the administration for the way they choose to run the site here (moving posts, posts not properly entitled, etc). Before that you similarly had a series of posts complaining about Larry's voicing of his opinion about WoV.

    Near as I can tell, you made two posts (about harness racing) not complaining about how this site or those of us on this site are discussing WoV. So the answer seems pretty clear to me. If you are a WoV supporter, which seems pretty apparent, and are unhappy with the WoV discussion here.....DON'T READ, OR DON'T PARTICIPATE!

    I mean why would you come to a site where the most active thread is a very long running thread criticizing WoV and then complain about those of us that post in that thread or the way the administrators handle that thread?

    I came here to join discussion of the most popular, most active thread here, discussing WoV. I was upfront and honest about that. You apparently came here as some sort of secret supporter of WoV, to be critical of those of us that choose to participate in the most active thread here or criticize management for their handling of it. In the words of the great and powerful "Weasel of Vegas"....if you don't like it here, don't let the door hit you in the ass". :rolleyes:

    I see a total of 2 'likes' for all of your posts here Nate, and they both occurred for a post in which you attacked LarryS, calling him "bitter", "self-centered", "Bi-polar" and "a manic depressant". Two members, "liked" that post, IDPA and OneArmedBandit, who have issues with Larry's.

    Other than that, no one here seems to agree with any of your hidden agenda to support WoV and attack those of us that are critical of WoV or attack management for allowing us to be critical. Maybe you should catch the next bus back to 'WeaselVille'.

    KJ,
    Are you a reader?
    If so, may I suggest Ryan Holidays "Ego is the Enemy". I read it recently and wish it had been around thirty years ago. Had I read it then, I might have avoided a few landmines.
    I really think it might help you with some of the issues you are dealing with.

    It is very disappointing that you would do this. :( I have been very kind and welcoming towards you. Treated you like an old friend that I haven't seen in 5 years. Offered to privately share information on casinos and casino mailer and what amount of play generates what offers ect, that would be very beneficial to you. But you are the same old shadroch from years ago, judgmental, condescending and taking little jabs and backhand swipes at people.

    Good luck with your re-location. I hope you find happiness.

    That wasn't a jab. You are obviously hurting, over something you have no control over. By your own admission, your game has been off this year. Do you think that's a coincidence? If I had had the ability to pm you the information on the book, I would have, but I don't.
    Your obsession with this, turning it into a battle between good vs evil, and lashing out at everyone is screwing with your center. Lose your center and everything cascades. Don't want to listen to me, go talk to the Grifter. He and I don't agree on a lot but he understands his Zen.

    I found happiness years ago, but thanks for the kind thoughts. I'm sorry you are so off center to recognize who is trying to offer real support and who is playing you for their agenda.

    I posted my email in a response to you a few days ago, specifically so you would have a way to privately communicate if you desired. And if this little "Ego is the enemy" book suggestion was genuine, you would have communicated that thought privately. But you wanted to be sure and publically post that line about "it would help me with my issues". Don't insult me by claiming otherwise. Even with a 5 year absence, I know you too well and this is classic you.

    My game is off this year?? Where do you get that? I am slightly below EV. At this moment my Blackjack earning for the year are 33 thousand vs EV of 38 thousand so I am slightly below EV, but my game is not "off". But earnings alone are not even how I measure my game. Earnings and EV, see-saw back and forth, but will even out over time. I measure how well I am doing by how much EV I can generate and probably most importantly do so with minimal heat and consequences with will ensure future longevity. This year I have had very minimal heat, which means I am playing within comfort zones and my play is being well tolerated, which is great for longevity. So this is a very successful year so far.

    I thought you understood how blackjack play worked? In 2014, I had BJ earning of 27 thousand vs EV of 87 thousand. That's 60 thousand dollars below expectation....now that was a down year. But even that had nothing to do with anything except normal blackjack play variance. THAT is how blackjack works. Conversely, In 2013 I had blackjack earnings of 115 thousand vs EV of 78 thousand or almost 40 grand above expectation. Was I happier and better adjusted that year?? (Don't answer that because the answer is no....that has nothing to do with blackjack variance). Variance is part of the game and has nothing to do with other factors. And if it does then that person is not equipped to play for a living and better find something else to do.
