Like I said a worst case scenario that should be avoided when it is predictable. At certain places and times this is very predictable to almost certainly happen. You are better off just not playing. Trust your scouting.

    It is called controlling a table. Some teams won't let you join unless you can demonstrate this skill, because it is probably the most important and profitable AP skill. If you are good at it you can get most of the people to leave when you want them to leave or play longer when you want them to. You can get most people to wait for the shuffle or not depending on what you want. You can get a lot of ploppies to avoid your table altogether or lammer up spots until you tell them to play. You can even get dealers to cut deeper. The fact that you don't understand how important this skill is while apparently not possessing the skill shows you limit your advantage to just what a computer can get. Playing in a casino is totally different than a sim or playing on a computer. When you learn how to get extra EV from this difference then you will have taken a giant leap forward in getting the money more efficiently.

    Yes. A very successful team. I have been doing it for years. No offense, but just because what we do is over your head and beyond your abilities doesn't mean it isn't extremely effective. You have to understand we gather more information and use it differently than you do. The difference in the way we use information really tightens up the bell curves around decisions. That means lower risk (or higher bets at the same risk) and/or more EV and/or more certain BR growth. We get all three but primarily target the latter quite successfully.
    what! is not a response from one so long winded...how do you play more and lose MORE and miss the best playing opportunities???

    based on your long winded responses that amount to nothing but blab....my big toe is more articulate...here's "an idea, when you have a story make a point, it makes it so much more interesting to the listener"

    I can just imagine you "controlling a table"....LMFAO...when everyone has a noose around their necks and start pulling them tight...PLEASE STOP!!!!!
