    The best BJ player is unknown. Making money without earning a reputation is what being the best is all about. If you heard of him, he isn't the best.

    Depends how you define 'best'. Personally I tend to agree with Three on this but in terms of pure cash made in today's value, the best has probably already been and gone. One of those who were playing in the 70s, even 60s and had a big bank roll and could do what APs do now. There were also other techniques you could engage prior to multi-deck cut cards that hid the backcard. I tell ya the 70s were fantastic times to be playing BJ. I'm lucky enough to remember those days but annoyed I didn't take quite enough advantage of them. I made a lot but, like many others, assumed the good times would stay longer than they actually did. I made the same mistake when Betfair started and then started to decline when they introduced their Premium Charge. The one big lesson I took from those days was to make hay while the sun shines cos if you have an advantage today, it's most likely to disappear faster than you think.

    Maybe the best has a need to let people know he is damn good.

    If we stop hearing from someone on this listserv, we would believe he has become the best.

    The best probably doesn't even post on the forums. The same attributes that makes the best successfully anonymous everywhere else also manifests itself when posting.
