    I guess you feel this a lot. Like when you read I have a RoR less than .01% and start talking about my BR can't be as high as 6 figures. My BR could be 7 figures and this statement would still be right. It describes a lower limit to BR with no upper limit. You need to think about the post when reading rather than think about how to use the post to attack the poster. You remind me of the bitchy best friends girlfriend that tries to cleave al his friends from before she met him out of his life and replace them with her friends. You say 'she looks really nice today' and she comes back with, "So you are saying I looked like crap every day". Everything is listened to with the sole intent of attacking the speaker. No attempt too have a discussion or show respect is there. Only a desire to attack and piss off. I think on the internet that is called trolling. That is against the rules of the sight and many have been banned for it. I would recommend developing and more constructive and respectful attitude. You are causing many threads to devolve into attack threads which is counterproductive to the site. many sites are all about feuds but this one is not. That mentality will get you backed off from the site. If you are really bad the site security goons will backroom you. LoL

    I am visually handicapped and don't appreciate people attacking me for my disability. If I am reading without my glasses as I do some of the time I am going to make some reading errors. I have dropped the vanity of thinking I don't need glasses but that doesn't mean I can always find them. Cancer causes different health issues. My side effect of cancer and its treatment is severe visual handicap. You can be a dick and make fun of someone's handicap or try to understand I am doing my best to live a full life in spite of my handicap and temper your comments accordingly. People are trying to decide what you are about as a new poster. So far you have been dick size comparer or a pissing contest type. We need a poster with the slash an burn mentality to give a full perspective of counting. Longevity posters seem to be ubiquitous around here. you should realize as you post that both approaches are valid and respect the others opinion even if you disagree with it. State your case for your posts respectfully, without the not so veiled personal attacks, and be happy we have a more complete picture of the AP world being expressed for the newer players. Attack sites are all over the internet. This is not one and I think that most are here because it is a breath of fresh air in this polluted internet world.

    Many pros say I am over betting casino tolerances and shouldn't bet that high but I like my top bet. I think of it as just right.

    I don't love to argue but I like to see all sides of an issue being presented. If I see an ankle on a subject is missing I will present it.

    When you say I misread something there is a strong likelihood it is due to being visually handicapped. If you worded your post so thing that were implied by your post are not the case, as you did recently, then it is on you. Like when you say that the jackpot is the people that built the jackpot's jackpot, implied in that is that if you didn't play there before and build the jackpot you have no right to it. The jackpot belongs to whoever is at the table when it is won and nobody else. The money could have mostly come from someone but that doesn't give them any right to it more than anyone else in the world. I understand now that it was not your intent to say what your poorly chosen words said but until that is made clear ...

    That is like saying how can you go to the casino and count cards if you make a mistake. If you knew you were going to make a mistake you wouldn't have done it. I guess it is hard for some people to relate to those that are medically handicapped. Let us not trash up this thread with this.

    What is "just right" for one casino is "under the radar" for others;
    while I know places that sweat bets that are 1/10 of "Table Max."

    Yes. That is taken into consideration but in reality for me everywhere I play don't seem to sweat my top bet. I see them sweating action half of what I bet from others and getting them the tap but I seem to know when to stay and when to leave and a few other things that contribute to longevity.
