Given his handle: a supermax penitentiary?
I could make a joke that given Maxpens obsession with gay sex in attacking me and mickeycrimm before me, that his Maxpen handle was a reference to him liking some big dick penetration him to the max. But I am not going to do that. (or did I just do so? :D)Quote:

BUT if you can find a game @ 80% or 83% (5 of 6 decks played) or even close to 90%, which you can find if you look hard, you can increase your win rate from anywhere from 50% to 100%. yes 100%....or double, just be deeper penetration. :rolleyes:
Unfortunately it goes the other way as well. A casino I have been advised against saying the name of IN ANY context has a 6 deck game with penetration of between 67-70%. On the surface you might think that is not much worse than 75%. BUT it is! :( Can cut your win rate dramatically.
So anyway, I assume and we all know about assuming that Maxpen's handle was about his blackjack playing days.
And I hope he is OK, even with all the trolling he has done with me.
People come and people go. Some fall ill, some go to jail, some suffer personal tragedies and can't bother with a duncefest like this any longer, and some die.
And then there's kew, who continually promises to leave for good, but then comes back like herpes.
Worry about today.....and what will be that's unburdened by what has been.

Seriously. This is a candidate for fucking President of the US of A. I could see me saying some dumbass thing as a once-off in public. But to adapt this as your go-to line to be used over and over, mother of God, what does it say about what that person thinks of her audience? The mind boggles. It's a wonder Russia doesn't nuke us to prevent the spread of whatever this is.
Hey KJ...
Speaking of penetration, have you heard any stories about blackjack players being in cahoots with the dealer?
I'm not a bj player but even I can envision scenarios where it could be quite profitable, e.g. putting the cut card deeper than usual on occasion.
I guess that we'll never know, now that I've cut out the new-age, anagrams with gematria. Which old MaX, too, locked onto with his very own brand of heat-seeking missiles. New-age paranoia?
No, Jesus didn't die for anyone, let alone for the fools, of VCT.
Maybe, he finally "wised up". I'm still waiting on MrV.

Blackjack is more a game for cheating the players; baccarat is more a game for cheating the "house".Quote:

Looks like we're down to V making it up as he goes, Jdog calling him the most normal one, and, nuts like unowme stopping by, every blue moon, with their keno systems, and, then, Jdog drooling over him. Oh, and the bots to prop up the number of "guests" in each thread, especially the "more popular" ones.
No wonder that Max gave it up.
This is how people quit forums:
not with a bang or a whimper.
Good point!
As far as the mighty Max Pen, he might have simply decided that he had said all that needed to be said about the preeminent topic around here lately,
while the rest of us continue to burn rubber to no real avail (other than entertainment) as the UNKewl one keeps softly whining about how no one will take him seriously.Quote:
