Very strange Boz. You write "I understand his reasons for privacy", but then go on to make unfounded accusations because I don't meet any people. Obviously then you don't understand my need for privacy.
I am almost strictly a blackjack card counter AP. That is very different from most AP's on these forums that machine play makes up a good deal of their play. Strictly blackjack AP's of which there aren't many of us left, have been fighting the "war" with the casino industry for decades, the cat and mouse game, and all the infiltrating forums, and players switching sides that goes along with it. Decades...since long before I began playing. Machine players have only been fighting this war for a few years now (maybe 5).
There are two types of pure blackjack card counter AP's. The first is guys that play on teams and usually have a short career. They usually don't have a lot of BR which is why they join a team. It is the people that manage and run the teams that have longer careers. The players they recruit are pretty much disposable.
The second is the solo player, like me and again there aren't many of us left. We tend to be loners as far as who we associate with. We may have a very small handful of other players that we trust and that takes years to develop. In my case it is 3 people. Two very high end, very known players, who both reside part-time or fulltime in Vegas that I have met with and one that I network with and although I turned him down for meeting in the past, would meet him if the chance occurred again. Those are my 3 guys. I don't hang out or socialize with AP's, go drinking, go to forum meetups. Pure blackjack card counter AP's at my level don't do that. It isn't conducive to longevity.
So you can say "I understand his reasons for privacy", but everything you say after that proves you don't understand or have a clue.
