Level 1 count versus Level 2 count

[Frank Galvin]

Yeah, not like they're a dime or dozen, or anything like that! Actually, NOT finding a typo or grammar faux pas in your posts is high on my bucket list.

It must be my lucky day, I believe that I found Don generate a typographical mistake.

I always thought the saying was "a dime a dozen", making reference to the paltry cost of an item.

But somehow Don has choices that are not otherwise available to us mere mortals. He gets to choose between "dimes" and "dozens".

Just being the prototypical smart ass that lurks in the shadows and the deepest recesses of this forum.

How did I miss that. Could have been twice in 1 week.

Told you Freighter. Don S is a riot. My old coach had us scared to death between November and March. But between April and October we never wanted to eat around the guy. Food would get stick half way down or you'd spew out your drink.

Well, we could always control him with the "Cone of Silence"

I assumed intrapolation was the Queen's English version of the word.

Seriousplayer - was it really necessary to quote Flash's oversized and overspaced post? I now have a cramp in my mousewheel finger

You know what you are right. I will delete my comments.

Yup. Typo. Guilty as charged.

Like with a newbie and Hilo, practice, practice and more practice. Eventually it becomes automatic and it is as easy and fast for you as the ace/five count. Some just don't have the discipline to wait long enough to get proficient at whatever count they choose. No matter how simple the count that person will be error prone. Those with the discipline to practice until they are ready should perform whatever count they choose error free and fast enough to keep up with the speed in any game.

I already deleted that post but you choose to reply anyways. Well even with practice and more practice you still make mistakes that is the problem I am trying to get at.

Who the hell cares? I'm in shock here, my life has just been traumatized with a dose of reality. After playing a game which I took seriously, for now over thirty years, I find out all the time and effort amounted to nothing more than reaching an amateur level. I cannot count how many times I have read Professional Blackjack by Stanford Wong, and all three versions "I could not wait for them to come out" of Don Schlesinger's books, not to mention many other authors, including Norm, and his words saying simple counts are good counts, only to find out that I have been betrayed, as the casinos wanted me to read those pipe dream books. I am shaking my head as I always trusted and backed up Don S work. ZenMaster-- Flash you sure as hell know how to ruin a life.

I didn't mean for you to delete YOUR response - just that there was no need to waste half a page quoting Flash's oversized, misleading drivel.

Bosox - seems to me this forum is a relay race. T3 is now posting more responsibly (and tersely), but seems to have handed the bullshit baton over to Flash.

"even with practice and more practice you still make mistakes that is the problem I am trying to get at.

If one learns HOW to STUDY / PRACTICE ~ mistakes will rarely be made.
