Is he for real? (no offense)

Update, his live stream video did not go forward.

It did, but it was short-lived. It was stupid and I don't think many others tuned in. Like I said, this guy is a well-informed ploppy.

Not in agreement on him being well-informed. For a self-proclaimed professional who asserts in his videos that he has travelled all over to play blackjack, how can he not know that the ENHC style of dealing is prevalent in many countries throughout the world. He rants about the dealer not taking the second card right away must be intentional to ensure that players bust first?

Huh???? (Insert favorite Lewis Black head shaking, lips reverberating moment here). For instance:

I only say well-informed because he probably knows just a little more than the average ploppy (basic strategy & simple counting). With that said, I still think he's an idiot.

The additional tells appear when this "professional" blackjack card counter whines about the dealers not taking their second cards until after all of the players have completed their hands.

1. Never heard of ENHC?

2. Complaining that other players' failure to follow basic strategy must hurt his hands (there are other players at the table)?

3. Playing at that online blackjack website (and posting it to YouTube with his video and name)?

If I may, I'd like to play devil's advocate with your second proposition. I complain about other players failing to follow basic strategy all the time. First of all, it's good cover. Second of all, sometimes, I actually am mad. In my opinion, it's a misconception that ploppies believe certain things because they don't understand math. Yes, they don't understand the math, but this isn't causally related to their reactions. Anger is an emotion, and emotions don't follow logic and reason. I just happen to confidently know there's no reason to be angry, so my knowledge gives me the power to better control my emotions. And if I'm in a mood, I may temporarily forget what I know and lash out at ploppies and feel justified in doing so because of all the abuse I've received for no good reason.

That being said, I too believe this guy is a fraud. That's best case. He could be delusional, or have a very serious gambling problem. It's extremely unlikely that he's beating the casino. His loud-mouth annoying of other players and surreptitious filming of the game are pretty strong indications that he is generally a more disruptive presence than most, so it would not be surprising if he was in fact banned from multiple casinos as he claims.

I stopped reading after his nineth word, "disfunctional," which is obviously spelled wrong. And a professional of any type that engages in any public writing as part of his profession would know"14" should be spelled out. So I got through nine words and found two errors. He's a fraud. I'll skim the rest for kicks.

He's obviously pretty dumb. An aspiring con artist. He probably served jail time, but I'd guess he made up the story about why and how long and when.

A) The word is ninth"; B) By convention, most style sheets tell us to spell out words only till nine, then to use numerals for 10 and higher.

I will likely regret typing this post, but should "until" have been used rather than "till"?

I always though that "till" was the appropriate term to use when dealing with a reference to time. Unless Don meant for nine to refer to nine o'clock rather than the number nine. But that is unlikely as his sentence promptly refers to numerals 10 and higher.

Don?

Well, Mr. D, I always learned you write out numbers until 100, but it was OK if you started at 21 because I guess my teacher was lazy. But I googled it and appears that may not apply for ages. You remind me of Grammar Girl. You know that website? So I'll defer to you. And yes I spelled nineth wrong. But I was carelessly posting a comment about something, not pretending I'm a professional at something and making my own page to try and con money out of you. He's not a professional anything. His lack of professionalism was my point, not my lack of professionalism!

I can't believe that any one player can do this in one night...

I'm new to this site but have to sign off, nothing but negativity about other WINNING players. I just looked him up, he did 85 months in federal prison for armed bank robbery and he may not know grammar as good as most but obviously in prison they play cards... and he might just turn out to be the new age wonder of blackjack. Not defending him but certainly not on here to put anyone down. You guys should get offline and get into a casino or perhaps you have lost your bank rolls and have nothing else to do. You guys are pathetic.
