I think I have showed Alan respect, MrV. I tolerated him far longer than I should have.
Let me remind you of a few things.
I said I can track two tables...when the conditions are right and describe how in some detail, involving sitting in center seat.
Alan's first response, he runs out at 3am and take blurry pictures and NOT from one of the center seats, from 1st base, meaning if you were sitting at First base your back would be to the table behind you. THAT is NOT what I said. I said center seat or one of two center seats.
Alan's next response is he runs out a second time and takes a picture of a completely full table. I clearly said "when conditions are right" and elaborated that with crowded conditions, you would not be able to track a second table. So that is two strikes. NOT misunderstandings, mind you, but intentional manipulation and dishonesty.
Early on Alan believing that what I was saying was not possible, threw it open to other counters, asking if anyone else has tracked a second table. RS, stated that he had. Not something he does regularly....He doesn't even play BJ regularly anymore, but he stated he has done this at times. Alan completely ignored the fact that RS had even responded....Just ignored him, because it wasn't what he wanted to hear.
I'll be honest, I wish a few more BJ players would have spoken up, but let's face it, this site has very limited members and only a couple are experienced BJ player that would have engaged in this kind of technique.
So, Next, Axelwolf suggests we pose the question To Richard Munchkin. I was hesitant at first. That's why I waited a bit. I knew Richards reply would be exactly what it was. BUT, I also knew the anti-AP guys, including Alan would then dismiss Richard as irrelevant, refuse to accept him....which is exactly what occurred. RICHARD MUNCHKIN IS AN EXPERT. He is a long-time very experienced BJ advantage player. Not always supporting himself from AP, but he has for the last decade. What makes Munchkin an expert on this topic is not only his own experience and expertise, but he interviewed numerous TOP, well know professional blackjack players in his book, Gambling Wizards.
When Munchkin says, This is a common technique that many, many experienced players have employed for 40 years, it is beyond contestation, because of his qualifications. For Alan and the two other idiots, OHW and coach belly, to dismiss Munchkin, and continue on with there attempt to smear and discredit me....and that is what this is...make no mistake about it, is now way over the line for me. So, NO, I am done showing any respect to Alan. I did so for far longer than he deserved. He is trolling and dishonestly playing me and all of you. I will not empower him any longer by even acknowledging him as anything but a complete lunatic shyster with an anti-AP agenda because of some sort of jealousy or bitterness that he loses.
Edit: and lastly....let's not forget 18 y.o.'s in a row. Because as YOU stated....that goes directly to the credibility of Alan. This guy is full of shit! I don't care if it is the first night of Hanukkah, I can no longer look the other way with this clown.
