Nobody knows a thing about how somebody else does in casinos unless they spend every moment by their side. Otherwise, what you get are claims like this.
1. You can always tell the bullspit artists like Singer based on very general comments that lack any specificities.

2. In the AP industry, you know how smart some is based on two things:
- they are playing the opportunity
- they can find the opportunity

I don’t have to be there to know the smartest guy in California, one guy that Mickey Crimm falls “A”, was the likely suspect who burned out the 5 for 2 VBJ at Colusa.

You need a certain amount of IQ to put together these plays. Anyone can spot the obvious plays; but the high level plays are decidedly non-obvious without the requisite AP IQ. The rest of the AP’s find out after the fact and then perform a postmortem to figure who were the likely candidates (because we like to know our competitors). There are not many high IQ AP players in Northern California. I am one of them but I retired. Tracker is another but he finds games, not burn them out. This guy “A” has a long history of burning out plays. They are a few others.

And we know after speaking with certain people who were there that it could have been a Las Vegas team or Reno team. We found out through multiple sources that a Las Vegas team burnt out the play in Black Oak in Sept 2018. So we don’t have to be there to see it happen.
