Blackjack KewlJ

And more proof that this of a nervous poodle is just reciting nonsense from what he read, is over at WOV where he stepped in to try to claim that casino shuffle master machines are being used to stack the deck against players. He started a thread about that once and now he's back to spew more nonsense on the subject. When push comes to shove, he never comes up with a shred of evidence to back up anything he has to say - which establishes even more conclusively that he's just spinning yarns and isn't playing at all.




One of the biggest whoppers the UNKewl one ever came up with was that MGM execs visited him at his Dean Martin Dr. (doxxing provided courtesy of the UNKewl one himself ) Vegas condo to hand over reams of paper player record files that he "decided" not to post online.

Admin team on the UNKewl one:

RobSinger on the UNKewl one: Your so-called "credibility" on info about others is already well known. That's why you don't ever post any proof, even after you've been made a fool of dozens of times.

 

I like KJ'S tough guy openings: You are clueless. Look you idiot. Followed by I tried to be civil.

In real life you'd only hear muffled sound as he tries extract his head from his ass.

 

So KJ plays short sessions. No rhyme or reason as to what constitutes sitting down to play or getting up to leave. Perhaps that wasn't in the book. A 4 to 5 hour workday which can easily be disputed by his daily volume and essay posts. Nonetheless, how much of a rotation can one have in 4-5 hours?

And his Mindset is completely frazzled as the likes of Mdawg and Singer own him.

Now if you were to tell me KJ gets a residual from Dandruff to create drama and stir up shit to drive posts? That I could believe.

 

I will address these issues. I don't know why, you don't and won't listen. Chalk it up to being bored.

How many times do I have to tell you. My goal is not hours. It is NOT 4-5 hours of play. It is 200-250 rounds. I might get that in a couple hours. I might get that in 3-4 hours. On a busy weekend night, it might take 6 hours (or 8 hours for upwards of 300 rounds). Of course that is played at higher stakes and much higher EV per round so it is worth the work.

You keep talking table selection. I guess that is your thing. I guess you have painted yourself in a corner with what you do where you need exact situations and conditions. That is not my game at all. Have you ever heard me mention table selection?

"The advantage of Las Vegas blackjack is about quantity not quality". That happens to be a quote from 'bigplayer' a 30 year player on one of the top blackjack teams and also at times solo player. What that means is there are many, many places, maybe most places that offer better games, but Vegas has something nowhere else have.....many, many games in close proximity. THAT is what my game is based on.

I play games and pride myself in playing games are very mediocre and other players would not play. 6 deck, 75% pen, no surrender is my standard. Very, very mediocre. I will even drop to 70% penetration if there is only 1 other player and I can get a lot of rounds in quickly should the count go positive. I offset this by aggressively exiting most of the negative counts and moving to a new game, whether at the next table or next casinos. Again....THIS is the advantage of Las Vegas, and what I have specifically designed my game for.

Unlike you and other players, I also completely embrace the variance of blackjack card counting. Sure, I may vent a bit when I hit an extended negative run, but the variance is what makes card counting even possible. Variance is a card counter's friend, his ally. Without that variance and swings (sometimes nasty) no casino would offer much of a playable game. Casinos know most players are ill-equipped mentally or financially to handle the real variance of the game. I have both the bankroll and mentality to handle it. And anyone that thinks a little venting means I am ill equipped mentally is a flat out idiot. You should see me at the tables. A little bitching when you lose a few hands in a row goes a very long way. It is what most non-AP players do.

 

High stakes? Bosox and others talked about the deep pockets required to play black chip shoes. I don't remember the exact figures. But one could easily lose 5 figures in just on shoe?

So you go into Sante Fe Station at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon. 3 players are sitting at the red chip table? They won't raise the limits to green chip because the 3 burly fuckers would complain. So you can either play green chip and hope they notice so you don't appear to be over spreading or you can play red chip or you can move on the Red Rock.

 

I move on because I place a huge value on quality over quantity. It all works outs in a "take what they give you approach."

For instance, I'm walking on by 5 round Freda. 6 round Sally. Ok. Let's see what she does on round 6 with a large bet out. 7 round Susie. Now that's my girl. Within that spectrum there are all sorts of idiosyncrasies. I walk into Casino A and ask them to bump from red chip to green chip. No problem. In 30 seconds im playing blackjack with Susie.

Casino B. I ask the same question. The make a call upstairs. Satellites are going off in outer space. 10 minutes later I'm sorry I ask. The pit boss comes over and says "no." Now the dealer is switched to 5 round Freda. So I ask, is that not a custom here? Pit Boss replies "no, we will do it. Just not for you.

Might want to take that place of my rotation. I don't need 5 round round Freda and Peter Petrified bit boss just so I can increase quantity.

If you don't know the people you don't have a fair game. Rather, you become fair game.

 

You just make shit up to suit yourself Moses! I have exit triggers!!! One is at the shuffle after showing my max bet, so as not to retreat back to a small wager at the shuffle (big tell and huge towards longevity). Another is an aggressive exit at a negative true count of about 1.5 or more. Maybe a little more if a double deck game or deeply dealt 6 deck game. So I avoid ALL counts of -2 or more. Another is that even if I haven't hit one of the first two, but I get to a shuffle and am up a couple thousand I will exit so as not to win too much. Fourth and final is time. If none of these other exit triggers has occurred and I have just been going back and forth with mostly neutral counts I will exit after about 45 minutes just so as not to show too much information in one sitting.

So just stop with your lying of which you know nothing about....no rhyme or reason. Everything is carefully thought out. My game is simplicity, but it is layers of simplicity upon layers of simplicity. It allows me to play right out in the open, hiding in plain sight.

I'll even share some betting patterns. Probably shouldn't, but I will. One of many. I sit down at an 8 deck game at a (medium sized) local type casino. 8 deck! Most serious card counters won't play. So my bet off the top is $75. If the count goes positive, I spread up to $400 (which is my max bet for this type of place). So a pit guy can be standing 2 feet from me intensely watching. You know what he is going to say? That is a 1-5 spread and barely (if at all) a winning game against 8 decks.

But here is the thing. I spread both ways. So if the count isn't going positive fairly quickly (after a round or two) I will drop back to $50. They have already marked down my initial wager as $75, so any comparison of later larger wagers will show a $75-$400 spread of 1-5ish. Ok, so when I drop back to $50 it no longer is a 1-5 spread is it? It is now 1-8. What is the count goes negative, I will drop to $25 for negative counts until I have hit my TC -1.5 exit trigger at which point I will exit? So now what is my spread? $25-$400 That is 1-16. Plug a 1-6 spread into your QFIT computer simulator and see what you get? It is a substantial winning game, winning rate. And that before you even consider that I don't play all, but escape most of the really negative counts. And yet at any time, they will determine I am playing a 1-5 spread based on my first wager and top wager.

Very, very simple. Layers of simplicity on top of layers of simplicity. And those claiming that everything I say and do is from a book....show me any book that discusses anything like this.

Your welcome for the lesson on KJ's advanced simplicity card counting. Not that you will understand or acknowledge any of it. You will just go right back to your same old lies and ignorance.

 

On a Tuesday afternoon, Sante Fe probably has 4 regular blackjack tables. One 6 deck and yes that is red chip, either $5 or $10 table minimum. But it is not all that unusual for a player to be playing green spreading to black ($300 or $400 max bet). It will draw attention if the player sits there for hours, but to play for 30 minutes and show that max bet one single time and then exit, no problem. The 3 double deck games open are likely one red chip game of $10 and two $25 minimum games. So no problem spreading green to light black even on a Tuesday afternoon.

Now on a Friday or Saturday night or even a Saturday afternoon, there will be a couple extra $25 min tables, maybe even a $50 minimum table.

As for Red Rock even more.

 

Then you have Lookout Lucy. She will give you a fair game. But there is a little thing called large bet frequency. Once that hits, she becomes 3 round Tessy. I used to think that was a bad thing because of the inconsistency. But she is sending me a subliminal message. Listen fucker, you are going to get us both in trouble. Come back another day. No I'm not going to play 3 rounds just to increase quantity.

You can't put these things into a Sim for EV. It is also how to greatly reduce variance. Don't think so? Come be 7 round Susie at black chip. We'll see how long it takes for you to say Uncle. That's not bragging. THAT'S A FACT.

Tater says: Stop the tough guy act. You're not.

 

I don't know what stakes BoSox plays. I don't think it is as high as you are thinking, but that is his business.

I set my BR to $100k at the start of every year. Technically much of it is in the bank, in a account that I designate as bankroll only money. So as I win throughout the year, my BR grows and at the end of the year, I reset to 100k, removing all the winning. That is really just moving money from my bankroll designated accounts to my personal accounts, but the money designated for BR is reset to 100k. In the event that I had a losing year, which has never happened, money would need to be moved the other way to replenish to 100k to start the new year.

So unless I am in the red for the year, which occasionally happens for part of a year, my BR is always 100k ++. I can play $400 max bets, or even $600 or $800 max bets which I do regularly with practically a zero RoR. Even on a Saturday night when I may play a max bet of $1200 (playing in the shadow of bigger players), my RoR is about 1%.

And at these levels winning or losing 10 k in a shoe very occasionally happens. Winning or losing 10k in a day happens a half dozen times a year. Winning or losing 10k in a3 day period like a weekend trip, not unusual at all. These swings are completely normal and to be expected and I am prepared for them. You will rarely see me write anything about a 10k swing. Now again, if you saw me at the table, sure I am complaining. That is what most players do.

Occasionally I will mention such an experience as I did with my trip to Reno, but I have no problem with the amounts. It is completely normal. It is you that seems to think it is a big deal and make a big deal out of it, like it has bankrupt me or something, when it really is completely normal and expected. That is one of the ways I know that you are not much of a real player.

 

4 to 5 hours simple isn't enough time to feed the bulldog. In my heyday. I'd catch the swing shift and 8am and 9am. That was a pain in the ass because some pit bosses would bump to green. Some wouldn't. So you had to factor in their days of. Monday mornings were tough because you had to wait for players to get in those last few hands before going. No I'm not going to get up early to play with a couple of hungover dipshits just so I can increase quantity.

Then you could get in some quality play between 10am and 1pm. It's by guess and by gosh between 1pm and 6pm. So that's when I get in a workout and shoot hoops if the weather is nice. Then quality play comeback between 6pm and 8pm. By then, I'm pooped and ready to call it a day.

The only way you will get in quality play on weekends is if 7 round Susie happens to be standing alone at a black chip table. You can't prospect for this. It just happens.

Tater says: I simply prefer to duck rather than get hit in efforts to reach quantity by playing games that are almost impossible to win. I've given you plenty of examples today. But I realize you limited by your lack of education.

Come on up and play a real player. You won't because you're a liar and a coward. And obviously an idiot when it comes to knowing the difference between quality and quantity.

I suspect that is the difference that leads to Mdawgs success and your constant rants, jealousy of him, and your never ending essays.

 

And that is why YOU are in Reno, doing what you do, or don't do, trying to mold someone else's cookie cutter game plan into your circumstances and I am in Vegas doing what I do, executing a plan specifically designed for the circumstances and conditions in Vegas.

 

You can repeat these stupid little things you say...."duck rather than get hit". It's nonsense. It isn't blackjack or how blackjack works. Blackjack play and particularly card counting where a player varies bet size results in variance, huge variance. There is no way to remove variance from blackjack advantage play. If there was, no casino would offer a playable / beatable game. Variance is what allows players to win, IF they can handle it mentally and financially.

T3's whole stick was also about removing the variance. At one point he said something ridiculous like he just wins every day at expectation. That is every bit as fantasy nonsense as Singers, "special plays" or all of Mdawgs claims. It just isn't reality.

As for you challenge to play you, again proving you are an amateur. Blackjack is a game played against the dealer, against the house not other players. It isn't poker played against other players. A winning player is able to beat the house based on long-term. Now even if you could set up some kind of player vs player competition as they have done on TV shows, it means nothing. Winning blackjack advantage play is about the long-term. Whether you or I got lucky in a few hands of short term play has zero meaning. You have this wild west mentality to have a showdown at noon. I often think you are stuck in the 1980 or 1990's as far as your blackjack thinking, but your "showdown" mentality has you stuck in the 1880's.

For a guy who talks about Norm's software, you don't seem to even understand the basics of blackjack play. probably the very first lesson in basic 101 blackjack card counting advantage play is that the player advantage manifests over the long-term. In the short-term anything can and will happen.

You sir, have wasted your money on Norm's software, because you simply haven't grasped what it is there to teach you.

Now I am heading out. Have yourself a good day up there in the artic tundra.

 

I didn't move to Reno to become a blackjack player. There was a nice size house that fit my needs in the foothills. Walking trails. Parks. Basketball courts. Quick and easy flights out.

If casinos want to give me money? I will take it. But I'm not going to spend my time chasing variance. Find "my" game. Know "my" game. Wait for the game to come to me. Don't get greedy. Play nice.

The only thing I can reference it to is being on scholarship. Play well. Stay out of trouble. And they pretty much take care of me.

People can't do what I do. Even if I taught them which I won't.

Put your money where your mouth is 7 round Susie. I'm happy to take your money too.

 

Sigh. You're an idiot. There is so much in Norm's software other than just Sims and ev.

Now if I had Gronbogs software and knowledge the process would be even quicker.

You're spending alot of time in the on deck circle running your mouth. If you are so certain I can't play? Step up to the plate.

Here come the excuses.

 

Read LV Bears column regarding game selection. That should help you understand the difference. Or have someone read it to you. Considering your lack of education.

 

I don't know if you can play or not. I don't care if you can play or not.

What I was certain of what that your initial claims when you joined the forum of professional blackjack play in Reno was bullshit and after you pushed that a number of times I said so. Your recently amended claims, fine, maybe you can get enough low limit play in to make 10k a year in that sweaty city. Seems like an awful grind and a lot of work for such a little bit of money. But sure, I'll give it that maybe you are getting it done.

Again, I really just don't care. I am doing exactly what I set out to do, what I devised a plan for my situation and am very happy with what I have accomplished and earned.
