    Reminds me of this guy making out with his girlfriend, groping around looking for his toupee. Finally, she screams out - that’s it, that’s it. Can’t be he says - I part mine down the side.

    The sooner you get this fallacy out of your head, the better for you.

    You know, I'm nowhere near someone who has enough experience or knowledge to valid or not someone else regarding BJ.
    Just reading some of his posts, including the last post he made about his last trip, he looks like a competent player to me, but again, I could be wrong as I don't have the knowledge to determine wether or not I should be easily impressed by what he says he does.
    Wayne Gretzky once said that you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Life’s too short for regrets.

    His trip report was probably the best post he's ever made. It was so well-written and grammatically correct, at first I thought someone hijacked his account. In any case, I won't bias your opinion with any more comments, but go back and read more of his posts, and the general reaction to them.

A description he provided such as a Black guy with brown eyes an afro does make it easy (no height or weight was mentioned).
    This lack of admitting and understanding of what you did is just the kind of attitude that makes judges throw the book at you. You are still trying to argue that you did nothing wrong and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. If you didn't learn anything from your punishment, then it wasn't severe enough to get you to understand you can't do that. You have done it many times now and each time everyone tells you to take it down but you always refuse.

    I do too. He banned you for reposting details he edited from your post for being inappropriate. Doing that should merit a ban no matter what was edited. You basically told Norm he has no right to run his foreign the way he sees fit, and you make those decisions rather than Norm. Are you really surprised that reposting something that was edited out by the moderator for being inappropriate got you banned? If so you are even more clueless than everyone believes. That is really hard to do.

    Why do you have to let other boards know your business that took place somewhere else? In my opinion, this is wrong, and shows a lack of character, and upbringing. For that matter, if you have a posting problem with the moderator here or anyone else on this board grow a set of balls and say it right here.

    T3, I am clueless and I hope you learn to ignore me instead of trying so hard to get me banned. Norm has the right to ban me and he did. Its history now. I do believe the comments about how clueless I am does help me. The casinos read BJTF, they know you have pronounced me as clueless and I suspect it helps a lot because they let me play freely. If they ever attempt to back me off, I have enough from you to show them as proof that the great T3 has assessed me as clueless.

    They don't back you off because they don't see you as a threat. When they decide otherwise, they will take action. It is very simple to understand. Stop misleading new players to think that they let you play because of what anyone on the forum thinks or says. As usual listening to you will be lead to bad things in the new players futures.

    The forum members are smart enough to know who to listen to. Its quite egotistic of you to think that forum members will learn from someone who does not play the system they use, only plays BJ when other casino opportunities he looks for (but does not reveal what they are) are not available, does not share much about his own system, often writes about "bins" and multiple paragraphs on all sorts of BS, gets on this forum every day but never asks a question himself, spends most of his postings either trashing me or giving lectures that so many find tedious.

    Atleast I share my experiences, my record and my style of play. You have been on this forum far longer than I have but few people know anything about you, your system or your play or when you even went out and played BJ.

    This is why I don't post this. It is totally unnecessary in BJ and doesn't get much gain, but I am so used to doing it in other games and I am quicker than a Hilo player doing the math so I just do it. I took it down. Sensitive info that is useless to others. But it is nice to have much steadier results. Every one of those things I do in there smoothes BR growth. I hated having swings that made whether or not you were winning seem questionable due to the swings being so large compared to BR growth. Doing this BR growth is quite steady and downswings are light and infrequent. The entire use of what I do is having the same EV at smaller more tolerated spreads and not needing as big a max bet to generate the same CE. This makes my play much more tolerated without giving up EV.
