VINDICATION for KJ

[kewlJ]

Two points:

1. The specifics of his claim, primarily to have been doing it for 6 figures for 15 years straight or whatever it is, all in LV and with minimal backoffs, is actually highly improbable (for a white male, and originally a young one at that, in particular).

I am more concerned with the Mdawg doxing and stalking situation unfolding right now, but I do want to respond to this. Just about every word of your point #1 is wrong....incorrect. I have averaged a little under 6 figures for 15 years and have shared some really bad years along the way as part of that average. I also have had probably 70 or so backoffs during that time.

This bothers me because the reason I wanted to share my blackjack experiences and journey was to show what kind of money a grinder type player could make and the variance and ups and down, including up and down years involved as well as all the back offs. So it bothers me to have you gloss over it getting everything wrong.

One other thing: 15 years. Longevity. That hasn't been by accident. That has been my top priority since the day I relocated to Las Vegas. I wore out my welcome in Atlantic City, and now people know a little more about that, and I wanted to achieve some longevity in Las vegas, where there is a much larger rotation of casinos to play. And every aspect of my play and plan has been about that. I do some very specific things to achieve that goal (like spreading both ways and short sessions, card counter basic strategy, so you are not playing the same hand differently at different counts, among many others) and I have shared many of these things. So I don't appreciate you glossing over the 15 years longevity. That didn't JUST happen. I worked damn hard at it, figuring out what is and isn't tolerated ect.
