Will he try to outdo the Mandalay Bay shooter?
He seems crazy enough.
MisterV, I understand your concern. Others share that concern.
I share that concern. And it is the exact reason why he is banned at WoV.
I have spoken with people that have met ZK personally, and to a person, they all say he is not like that in person. That he is quiet and polite and funny. And while I respect that, how many times after someone goes off the deep end, do we hear family freinds and people that know him say I never would have guessed. That isn't who he was.
I have thought about getting more involved with Zenking on several different occasions. It was even asked of me by a prominent Las Vegas AP (who does not post here). And I have even thought about it in the last week, with these new posts and threads. And each time I think about it, I decide I can't. So happens right now, I am trying to rebound from a poor year, some of it due to covid circumstances, some of it just bad variance. So I am trying to play a lot and build significant EV and hope for decent variance and a decent rebound type year. So I don't have time to take off 6 months and teach someone about variance and swings that they should know 6 years in.
But even more importantly, the guy scares the hell out of me. from his posts, I don't think he is stable and I don't know what he is capable of and don't want to find out. Blackjack AP's, probably all AP's vent on occasion, during those really nasty swings. Sometimes it is just good to talk or write about it with other AP's who know and have experienced those swings. I did so as recently as last year with an extrodinary bad run at South Point. But these runs of zenking is describing aren't even extrodinarily bad, they are pretty normal, to be expected for that level of play. But it is the threat sometimes veiled, sometimes completely open, of doing something crazy that is most disturbing. I can't and won't be a part or anywhere near that.
