It isn't hard to win.
Actually, it is very easy.
However, it can be difficult to maintain.
Without Unethical Behavior, Pulling Cards, Using other peoples cards and outright stealing/cheating.
Damn near impossible without some or all of those Evils.
7 dollars an hour, playing FPDW, without a card, is one of the few ways someone could go about it, without blemish.
But you might as well just get a job if you are going to do that.
Monet, why is it so important to you to label different advantage plays and advantage players as unethical, and or evil. AND want them to admit so. You seem to wear that as a badge of honor and want everyone to say the same.
I don't think most advantage plays are unethical. AND I have and continue to evolve on that based on the casino industry that we play against. Now there certainly is a distinction when you talk about cheating or stealing, which by the way you labeled me this week. I went to a casino for the purpose of downloading and playing my free play that they offered me. And I did just that. Yeah, there was more free play than I was expecting, but that is on them. I don't know what their procedures are. Maybe it was 50 times free play day, that I wasn't aware of.
On Dealer mistake: If a dealer makes a mistake against me, I am damn sure going to point it out, so I think it only fair if I do so when it favors me as well. Unfortunately I can't and don't point out most mistakes that favor me, because often it involves calling the pit guy over for approval and that draws attention, which I try to avoid at all costs. So I would sort of be penalizing myself (by drawing attention) if I tried to do the right things. So I have settled on a way of handling it that I am comfortable with.
I have also stated I am uncomfortable with hole-carding which people throw at me for years. Understand, I am not saying hole-carding is cheating or there is anything wrong with it. It just doesn't feel right to me. I don't care for winning that way. And I employed it for a while.
I mean, you just seem to want everyone to say, "yeah I am an AP and I am an evil person". The two doesn't have to go hand in hand. They do with some people, but not with others.
