    I just saw this. I'm sorry to hear about your problems, hopefully you can recover and continue part time with BJ play and forum advice.

    You have the luxury of anonymity. Speaking of which, why would you post a comment such as you did with the anonymizer?

    Adjusting to living a gambling-free existence


    is very hard for me. I have been a denizen of


    the AP demiworld for a very long time.


    I am a Septuagenarian.


    My health is seriously compromised.


    My brain functions are slipping.


    I am a chronic-pain sufferer.


    I must make the painful decision to retire


    from blackjack and all related activities.


    I have numerous (real life) friends who are A.P.’s


    and not communicating with them hurts me.


    The problem for me is that mentoring card


    counters and networking with A P professionals


    keeps me involved, and thus prevents me from


    fully embracing my avocations so that I can live


    through my dotage. Perhaps I can just post here


    now and then, with careful editing of course.
    You can still use your knowledge you acquired from AP Blackjack to coach other APs. That way you can still make a significant impact. Just don't be bias. I have taken bits of your advice and improved my edge by invented a count for myself that gives me a higher edge. Even though I didn't pursue Hi-OPT II.

    Because I am extremely self-conscious. I've never been on a date either.

    The best to you in the future. This sudden change may not mean a stop to Ap'ing after some thought it may open new ventures for you.

    We've had a lot of fun over the years. If you're not venturing out to AC and PA, I guess I'll have to visit you more often. The road trips can wear you down.
