    Youre half right - who wants to say I told you so

    Ok Hiopt2 is better then hi lo
    BUT
    you shouldnt drink and count cards...
    Flash has been invaluable in my progress - he was very right about some super specific information that allowed me to split tens with max bet out and have the pit boss cheering me on.
    However, drinking makes steaming an inevitability, and though I would like to say im above it - sadly I am not.
    I punished myself accordingly and am back to training - new members on this board - if flash offers to mentor you thank your luck fucking stars - it is worth its weight in gold and DO NOT FUCKING FUCKING DRINK not only does it erode your skills but it will make it impossible to bet like a calculating machine and you will start betting like a petulant child who believes they are owed something.
    Hiopt2 ************s.
    Love you Norm, Flash, Three, Freights, Stealth, Bosox, Romes, smallcap (listen to his GWAE podcasts) moses, zee, and all those here.
    Fucking card counting..

    I always try to make it clear to those I befriend/ teach/team-up with, etc.

    It is not a good idea to thank me publicly.

    There are some who dislike me and saying anything positive about me ...

    I tried drinking for first time in order to disguise myself as a counter (also I was confident that I wouldn't really change any of my plays even if i'm drunk), but as a player who only wong-in at TC +5 or above, drinking made me impatient and bet $100 (which is the minimum) at all TC's and lost $3000 in few hours.

    Drinking makes you bold and impatient, and I mean bold as in stupidly bold. Although I made it back in next few days, I really regret it...

More often the 6 deckers have better conditions but you have to be prepared to exploit every possible advantage.
    It was previously dscribed as an 8 decker with lousy pen. Think the rules were crap as well. In any event, generously described as god awful.

    I wrote I wong-in, then obviously it would be the one I can't afford - don't you think?

    I have great success drinking heavily and counting, as well as playing poker. I doubt I've ever not drunk anything while in a casino lol. One reason I hate washington - paying for that many drinks would freakin kill my EV

    Adding in other recreational drugs helps too. Just not thc, not good for counting. But fine at the cash tables

    Reminds me of this guy who was playing next to me, commenting. "Only a hundred more free drinks, I'll be even with the house".
