First and foremost is a huge Thank You to Don! I am forever grateful that you were so persistent in learning, that you did all the hard work. Now people like me just have to read the books, and of course put in the time learning a system we can implement in the casinos. I should have read this book before I played, I knew there was more to learn than just basic strategy, hi-lo count, deviations, and betting strategy.....what I didn't realize was just how much more there was/is to learn. I started playing at the end of last year and I don't even want to know how much I could've lost if it weren't for positive variance. I am excited to get back to the tables (when possible) and kick some ass!
