it's all very interesting to me and probably to others - I've read just about every significant BJ book - and none that I recall provided as much detail as you do

it's all very beneficial to new and hopeful players"

and it is much appreciated by me - I find it quite interesting

No I do not play rated. If you play rated, you can not count cards on the strip for any real money and survive for long despite what some fantasy reports claim. I know there are players that think playing unrated immediately draws additional attention. I just don't find that to be the case. maybe it is because of the weekend night thing and being crowded with a lot of people that aren't living in Vegas and playing regularly and rated.

try telling the trolls and haters here that what I post isn't from BJ books, but rather mostly from my own experiences.

I appreciate the comments. Despite all the trolling, even on this small forum, I always hope that sharing my experiences may help someone. Not necessarily one of the 10 regular members but someone reading occasionally that doesn't post much, or even someone that comes along later a reads something.

I really got to get to bed though if I want to be up for the Eagles game, which the way they have been playing.....
