Thread: how did the rumor start that I died?

  1. #1
    I am alive and well. I gave blackjack up for good. I used card counting to management my emotions from severe PTSD. When It became extremely hard to play I found myself getting servre PTSD Flash back. I don't appreciate being called a degenerate because if you walked in my shoes with the past that I had, most would be homeless on herion, or comitted suicide. Although my cashflow is negative, I have gotten my net worth up to about 50 percent of my earnings in blackjack. I am doing fine and mostly sober. I slip up from time to time but working on it and I am in good health. I got to the doctor every 3 months.

    Welcome back to the living SCG.

    The rumor was started by member here tableplay. I don't think it was anything malicious. I think he may have mixed up or been confused between you and another guest on GWAE.

    Wishing you the best going forward.

    Glad you are alive.

    I know this is you because there are a couple things you said that I have heard you mention before.

    My apologies for the "degenerative" references. For whatever reason I have a bad habit of referring to -EV gambling as degenerate or Degen. I need to find another way of describing going from +EV play to intentional -EV play that doesn't come across as disrespectful. It was related to the -EV gambling, not your character.

    I have always respected you as an AP. Your play, and the amount that you earned in a very short period of time was very impressive.

    As I said in another post, your GWAE episodes are among my favorites.

    Good Luck.

    SCG, I know you said your not playing Blackjack, are you doing any AP stuff?

    Also, may I ask how you were able to bring your net worth back up so quickly? Are you doing Investment Broker stuff?




    ...and welcome to the toilet bowl of AP forums lol

    I am not doing AP stuff, I rather not go into on a public forum. Regular 9-5 work.

    Hello, "Recreational" gambling.
    I prefer PLOPPY lol

    I know many think PLOPPY is disrespectful, but it's only used by AP's talking to other AP's about recreational gamblers. I would never directly call a recreational gambler a PLOPPY to their face.
