Wait a minute now! As a frequent reader of this forum, I have been repeatedly told by the likes of the great Rob Singer and other recently banned members that there is no longer any such thing as professional blackjack players. What gives?

I am very much looking forward to seeing this video. It has been a long time in the making....a long time coming. Looks like release date is next month.

I'll reserve judgement until seeing the film but it looks like the approach used and that many of the recent teams like the church team have employed is what I call the "slaughter approach", as in shear vs slaughter. Aggressive, high stakes play, with as large stakes as will allow, for as long as they will allow it. The thinking being there are now hundreds, even thousands of casinos....burn 'em all out! A number of solo players have also recently adopted this same burn 'em out approach. Players usually get a couple years in....maybe less and they are done, unable to get a game anywhere.

My own approach to the game is just about as opposite as can be. Longevity, find levels that are better tolerated. I think the term "adventure" is important here as that plays into what these kind of short term deals, rack up as much as you can as long as you can approaches are about as much as anything. An adventure, but nor really a career. But I am looking forward to it and hope we can have some legitimate discussion after some of us see it.
