This thread. WTF. What is the Yogi Berra comment. DeJa'Vu all over again.
Zenking you are not the GOAT of AP's or even card counter AP's. The GOAT of card counters and AP's is not someone on these forums, nor someone that is a member of the BJHF. It is someone few know and have heard of that just goes about his (or her) business.
Y'all worry WAY too much about being the GOAT, or "the Pope of Las Vegas", or that people are jealous of you when no one really is (Rob Singer).
The key to life is to find something to do to support yourself, that makes you happy, be that working for someone else (company or Government), or starting and running your own business (self employ) of which advantage player falls under that self-employment label. Just find what makes you happy and stop trying to compete with everyone else.
Zenking, I too had friends that doubted me and told me I couldn't do what I wanted to do, when I first got into card counting. Just about all my friends, and acquaintances at the bar that I frequented regularly, as well as my late partner. Each and every one of them told me I wouldn't be able to do what I was planning. You do what you want to do, hopefully succeed and prove them wrong and
move on.
