He's always claiming this or that and using some anonymous AP as a verifier. I don't know anyone who has ever met or done anything with him. As well noone has ever claimed to know someone that has met or done anything with him. That's pretty impossible considering how many people that is in this supposed community.
Not that I associate with a lot of people. But some of the people I do associate with have literally met and/or done business with not dozens of people but 100's.
What is your point MaxPen? That I don't play with, nor socialize with many AP's? A very select few? No shit! I have maintained that since day 1. It has served me well every step of the way.
You know how you told me a year ago that you were scared shitless of seedvalue. He was saying and doing things to harm you? You said he was very dangerous and were scared shitless to the point that you left the forum for a period and warned me not to agitate him? Remember that? Well THAT is exactly what being too well known and all the socializing will do for ya. As I was told very early on, at BJ21, Don't trust fellow APs, as they will stab you in the back to step over you to get to that next play.
Here is another one for you. Midwest player who lurks a lot here, can probably verify this if he wants to. Back at BJinfo, there was a guy who held an annual gathering of blackjack card counters for a few years. It was called BJ bash and held over a weekend the midwest where he lived. So one year, the final year if I am not mistaken, the members gather from all over the U.S at an Indian Casino where the event was being held. I chose not to attend. Just imagine The Indian Casino didn't have any problem with an army of card counters staying and playing for the weekend.
So by the end of the weekend, just about everybody lost. The over-whelming majority of these pretty good to very good card counters all lost, playing what looked to be a very favorable game. Hum....did I mention this was an Indian Casino? Yes...ok. Did I mention the member of the forum that arranged all this and picked the casino was himself of Native American heritage? How about this one....it was later revealed that he got a cut of all the losses from the group of "fellow APs" that he brought in.
So it can be big like this event, and seedvalue screwing over and sabotaging everyone (you included) or it can be something relatively small like Monets trashing of Axelwolf and just about revealing publicly where Axelwolf lives.
I just see no reason to get too friendly with fellow AP's. I suppose if you are literally playing on a team, but I am not. I am a solo player, and I will continue to keep mostly to myself, with 1 or 2 special AP friends that have proven to me it is beneficial to call "friend". This strategy has served me well despite that a few APs on a forum seem offended that I won't meet them.
