    P.S. Don't think of it as a hail mary with 18k. It took me those 4 months of part timing with a job, and then another 6 months or so to reach that point.

    Took me 2 and a half years of fulltime play.

    Teammates help. Combining bankrolls for the mentioned promo was very significant.

He plays blackjack and also has a specific slot strategy, with apparently low variance on the slot angle.
    Yes, I'm ok with that.

    Hail Mary is just shorter than two minute warning one timeout down a TD bankroll.

    Work hard, constantly be looking for bigger edges, network with other APs, and save save save. I like that you have multiple ways to win between BJ and VP/Slots, I think that is important, find more of those! Good Luck!

    If I were to ever do as you are thinking, I would travel and play only STinging games, they are out there and far easier to find than HC games,,I would only play those games, not just straight counting. STinging and HC, will make a huge difference to your bank.

    Actually shuffletrucking is an integral component of card counting. You won't make much if you omit either element.

    I disagree, it is a seperate and distinct SKILL, not used by many out of ignorance of it's applications. My point, if you are going to be a Pro, you had better learn it and search out those games where you can apply the Skillz-Set for maximum advantage.

    You won't be doing much counting if they cut you 66%, whereas a tracker won't be bothered at all.
