Funny how despite all the concerted efforts by the haters to drive him off the board KJ continues to post here, blithely hurling the shit back in their smarmy faces.

Keep it up, KJ: great stuff.

Just shows you don't need Charles Atlas to be a real man: just stand your ground and fight back.

Here is what I find really amazing MrV. Well amazing or pathetic..not sure which.

These gguys..the hardcore trolls like Singer, Dawg and a couple other. They think they are "winning" something with all their trolling. They are proud of themselves. "I out- trolled him". And then some people like AinQ and Ozzy before him, praise them for it.

It is like, what the fuck have you won? The bigger troll award? A lot like winning the old Monty Python 'idiot of the year contest'. Except these guys really think they have won something.

And yeah, I fight back, when do inclined. But that gets old.
Really should just ignore them...you know, not feed the trolls. That hits em where it hurts most. Denial if the attention they crave.

You are winning in that you get attention.

I win because I'm having fun.

Seriously you sit around trying to win over them.. this is crazy talk. Look in the mirror. You're constantly trying to win and show mdawg/singer are full of it. lol. funny dude you.

[MisterV]

ACQ, we KNOW the Hound and Robert are full of it; he need not attempt to show that which is self-revelatory.

No, he's just responding in kind, hurling shit for shit.

[MDawg]

Kew you're not fooling anybody with your stoopid "my blackjack journey" stuff....and you never have. You've never done anything more than "lift" information, procedures and tactics off of the true players and concocted stories of your own with it. If you're not seeing this reputation you've earned, then you are certified Philadelphia-dumb. And continuously trying to divert and deflect by using the mdawg "journey" while showing your irritation with and hatred of wizard for ignoring your constant nonsense & obsession, all you're doing is making an even bigger fool of yourself.

THAT'S how things really work.

[MDawg]

Whatever, Hound, but lurkers probably have learned more valuable info about gambling from KJ's posts than from yours.

I disagree with that. At these forums (I count the 4 that I post at, not just this one), plenty of people have stated publicly that I have either indirectly inspired or directly guided them towards winning at the casinos.

And casino play aside, my threads and posts about how comps work in Vegas, the best hotels and rooms, and special events, among other Pope of Las Vegas quality material, are plenty useful, to many.

I also helped Tasha get reinstated at WOV, no small feat, given that BeachBumBabs and the WOV admin in general had declared that it would never happen.

What has UNKewlJ ever posted that has proven to be true? Plenty has been proven to be false but absolutely nothing he has claimed or posted about has been verified or even backed up in any way other than that he plays some very low stakes video poker and red to green blackjack as obvious sugar daddy ploy (ploy, not play) cover. Someone playing twenty years and no corroboration of any of what he'd like us to believe? Pfft.

When I first pointed out that UNKewlJ almost never describes an actual hand of blackjack, he tried to play it off as because the actual game was "boring" to him. Boring? and yet he can't stop writing about it? And eventually of course, we learned that his lack of first hand descriptions of play was because he really doesn't play that much the begin with. When you lift whatever you have to say on a subject from others, obviously there is not going to be much if any first hand personal experience to talk about - mostly just theory, which theory is what UNKewlJ is very big on.

And think about how whenever he tries to get up close and personally descriptive with anything to do with the casinos, he falls flat with contradictions and gets caught in ever changing versions of the story.

[accountinquestion]

It is surprising that kewl doesn't post about freakish hands that are super improbable. The game may get boring but that means the crazy outliers are the only not boring aspect.

Yet he never tells us about them.

Assume for a minute he makes up shit ... ok still with me? ...then why not make up some hands too?

[Garnabby]

Better to leave a bit of money at the table and be able to return and play several times a month for the next decade, that to squeeze a few extra cents of EV today, and be banned from future play. You can't win if you can't play. That is exactly what having longevity as a top priority is about.

What pathetic garbage. KJ, still, doesn't realize that casinos don't care how much you win, but, how much you lose. Given any decent chance to get to know you.

[MisterV]

Dawg, I can't reconcile your earlier claim of winning fifty or more hands in a row: that just tainted my ability to process any of your other claims.

I can see how some of what you've posted has been of benefit to others: that's a good thing, and to your credit.

Garnabby, did you understand what KJ was saying?

It's that for a card counter it's sometimes wiser not to make a max bet when the count is in your favor, as that could lead to you being backed off / trespassed: think---longevity.

[Garnabby]

Yeah, but a big difference between KJ's seat bringing in zero dollars, versus a lot, for the casinos, in relatively short order.

KJ must be the last of the counters. Ha.

V, no one, in the history of blackjack forums, made as much as KJ, supposedly. The guy who went with a mediocre count. And, others here and there used to call him out on it.

[coach belly]

Dawg, I can't reconcile your earlier claim of winning fifty or more hands in a row

How about tewlj's claim of winning 40 hands in a row?

You cool with that?

[MisterV]

I don't recall him saying that, but if he did...NO.

I gotta say...with all the things casinos do now to detect and stop card counting it must be tough to make a living doing it: certainly not for the faint-hearted.

[kewlJ]

Ah, I see you girls, the KJ haters have had a productive afternoon of trolling and lying. The question is do I want to even bother responding and feeding you trolling, giving the attention you seek?

Ahh, what the hell, I have nothing else going on while digesting a delicious streak dinner. I will try to break it into segments answering one comment at a time as I know you trolls have an attention disorder and get bent out of shape with replies of more than a sentence or two. I'll do my best.

I have played blackjack for a living for more than 20 years. 17-18 of those years, I would describe as a grinder type player, easily playing over 100k rounds a year. The last couple a little less so playing slightly higher stakes. All told I have easily played over 2 million hands of blackjack. I have see every hand there is to see, many times. Player pulling a 6 card 20 only to lose to a dealer 5 card 21? Seen it. Dealer 21's made up of 4 aces? Seen it. dealer 6 card 21's with a high count, meaning there should be fewer small cards? Seen it. (way too often ).

I simply don't get to excited about any single hand anymore. If there is one thing it would be the split hands that turn into a few double downs on top, so you have 6, 7, 8 units on the felt. If the count is high and that happens, that single hand will make or break your session and probably day. But still seen it. let me tell you how that hand with 6 or 7 max bets ends up. Dealer pulls a 5 or 6 card 20 when there should be no small cards left. That is what it seems every time.

So I don't describe individual hands on a forum where there are few if any blackjack players and few that even seem interested in blackjack. I have done it a couple times, there is just no interest.

Occasionally I will talk about an unusual session, winning and losing, because I am one of the few real players that talks about both, a good amount in a short period of time. But again, there just is no real interest so I don't do much of it.

But here is a hand for you from just the other night, for those that want that type of thing. I had an 8 vs dealer 10. I drew a 10 for 18, dealer flipped over a 9 for 19. Good God that was some exciting shit!!!

[accountinquestion]

Very mathematical. Lol. Seen it all and just 2 kewl.

[kewlJ]

Next up: coach belly's KJ won 40 hands in a row claim.

Back in 2011, I had a shoe at a strip casino that I wrote about that I called the perfect shoe. I didn't win every hand. That isn't what made the shoe perfect. I started the shoe with a couple other players and we all lost 3 or 4 rounds while the dealer pulled 20's and 21's, A lot of little cards coming out. That means a high count. Remaining cards favor the play. After 3 or 4 hands, and the dealer pulling 4 or 5 card good hands one player dropped out. a round later the other did. That left me playing one on one with the dealer with a monster high count. So one of several things that made it perfect, was there were two other players at the start that like I were losing (me losing smallish bets) and then both dropped out leaving me one on one with a monster count. That is a dream scenario.

So from that point on, playing heads up with a monster count, making my max bets and even some bets higher than my usual max bet, which I wont go into, I did not lose a round. the second thing that made this a perfect shoe. There were probably at least 35 rounds and I didn't lose a round. However I didn't win every round either as coach belly is falsely stating (and I think intentionally so). I had 2 push situation in there. One was a split hand of which I won one and lost one, and the second a 10 vs dealer 10, which normally is not a double down but at very high counts, it is a double down. So I should have doubled down. But at this point, I had drawn a lot of attention and just thought I would play it straight and hit. I hit drawing a small card, I think a 2, giving me 12 vs dealer 10. Hit again and drew an 8 for 20. Dealer flipped over a 10 for 20 and a push. A push that would have been a loss, had I doubled down as the count actually called for.

So in the end from the time I was heads up I won 33 of 35, or 35 of 37, or whatever it was with 2 pushes. I am sure that is pretty remarkable. But guess what I posted this story at WoV, and Wizard never said a word about how that was a 1 in 2 billion chance or anything.

So anyone can not beleive, or whatever they want. I was the most unusual shoe I ever played, even now 13 years later, still my most profitable single shoe. And the guy working the pit that day, was the man that is now a close personal friend. Couldn't have been more perfect of a shoe.

While you digest that, I will move on to the next.

[accountinquestion]

On more consideration I believe kewl isn't smart enough to appreciate outliers. This is how he messes up his stories to some degree. Doesn't understand outliers.

It doesn't just have to be mathematical in nature but nah. Never
It is a bit odd.

Fascinating fella.

[Rob.Singer]

More tales from the crypt by kew. Desperation, addiction, frustration, and concoction at its finest.

[accountinquestion]

Ooooh he us now delivering !! Proving haters wrong!!

WHY did I EVER doubt?

[MisterV]

Very weird things can happen in a casino, eerily so.

I posted before about my strangest event.

I'd had a dream or a dream-like strong premonition telling me to go to Spirit Mtn. casino and to wait til the time was right, then bet a dollar midnight, and when I won to parlay it.

So I went, played awhile and for whatever reason I had a feeling that "The time is nigh."

"Dollar midnight."

Winner.

"Parlay."

Winner.

Note I rarely if ever would normally make a prop bet, let alone parlay any winnings.

To this very day I cannot explain or understand how and why it unfolded as it did.

Garnabby, posted a quote from a conversation at another website, where some part time weekend warrior, player, who now says he doesn't even play blackjack but plays spanish 21, is trashing, well respected blackjack expert Don Schlesinger and his Illustrious 18 deviation plays that anyone that card counts is familiar with. There can be up to 200 strategy change deviations based on the count. Most occur at counts that are so extreme, if you play 100,000 rounds a year, you might see that situation once a year. So most just aren't relevant. Knowing the right index play for a situation that occurs once a year or less adds pennies...literally.

What Don did with the Illustrious 18 was show mathematically that after the top 3 plays, Insurance, player 16 vs dealer 10, player 15 vs dealer 10, that each strategy change play you learn and play has diminishing returns. That means each play is worth less and less of an advantage until after the top 18 or 20, they all are really worth pennies. So Don chose 18. I don't know why that was his cut off, instead of 20, or 16. But whatever number you choose, after about 18 or 20, knowing these plays adds very little. If you are trying to bump up your win rate, adding index plays is NOT going to be how you do it. there are many other different things that can make a difference, but adding or learning 200 plays isn't it.

All this what I am sure is a recreational player is doing is trying to tear down a blackjack math expert, claiming he knows better than the expert that everyone that plays blackjack regards as an expert. Poster JSTAT who sometimes posts here, did that same thing for years with Thorp, pointing out some small irrelevant detail that just didn't matter. I am not even 100% sure this latest guy isn't JSTAT reincarnated. He most certainly is somebody reincarnated, meaning been around forums using different name.

I simply gave this player a clinic on things you can do that will allow you to play for years at very little cost. Longevity...the name of the game. You can squeeze every last cent and be banned everywhere unable to get a game and be writing books and running BJ bootcamps after 4 years, or you can apply some of my techniques that has allowed me to play and play within the casinos tolerance and comfort level for 20 years. THAT was the discussion. Garnabby, if you want to bring that discussion here, I am happy to. But again, same problem: Not many active blackjack players here that want to talk blackjack.

I have one more things to say. let me take a short break and I will finish up.

The truth is … UNKewlJ hasn’t spent 20 years playing blackjack. He’s spent 20 years trying to convince people that he’s been playing blackjack.

Add to that the fact that nothing

UNKewlJ ever posted has been proven to be true. Plenty has been proven to be false but absolutely nothing he has claimed or posted about has been verified or even backed up in any way other than that he plays some very low stakes video poker and red to green blackjack as obvious sugar daddy ploy (ploy, not play) cover. Someone playing twenty years and no corroboration of any of what he'd like us to believe? Pfft.

and you see clearly the real picture of a nobody, who'd like us to think he's done something other than peddled his behind.

I'm rather certain he has money from something he feels shame over.
Most likely a prostitute

Pretending to be some hero AP gives him purpose and a sense of accomplishment.

How about this one UNKewlJ? What well known AP said this:

I thought that was common knowledge about Kewlj being a male prostitute.
