    Hello Goatlife,

    I am confused by your posts. They seem genuine, but I also wonder how much, if any, sarcasm, exaggeration, humor, etc. Is involved.

    And you are also smallcapgrowth? And who is dalmatian?

    Anyway, your original post sounds to me like you are wanting a change. It reeks of defeat and the rawness of emotion that comes alongside surrender. As such, you may be teachable! (But for the life of me I cant understand why some are still praising your lifestyle and experiences when it sounds like to me you are on Death's doorstep.

    I have personal and professional experience with recovery from addictions. Let me know if you are wanting (not 'just' needing) help.

    I recall meeting you once many years ago in Vegas. You've traveled a long road since then obviously, but at the time I assessed you as a wide-eyed kid ready to take on the AP world by storm. Being a professional AP is to walk a tight rope. Walking that tight rope for me has meant following strict regimens and it's paid off, or perhaps not paid what it could have. When it comes to risk versus reward, I've always gone with the lowest possible risk while remaining profitable and retaining longevity. Remembering to squirrel some of that shit away for winter, not getting involved with narcotics (I've never seen anything good come to anyone using cocaine), not playing games I don't have a clear, predictable advantage at, etc. is why I've been able to take a few years off without it detracting from my quality of life, although I worked with much smaller numbers than I've seen you talk about. Much of what I've learned in terms of cautionary tales comes from observing the mistakes and mishaps of others closely, both recreational gamblers and APs alike, evaluating and making an assessment of the how and why of it to avoid making the same mistakes myself. It's all worked out for me, luckily. I always did my best to stay under the radar, knowing that the fattest and slowest are more easily picked off by the hunters. Don Johnson I wasn't, or at least not THAT Don Johnson... I was more like the other Don Johnson in "A Boy and His Dog". I always made money, I always survived, but I never racked up any astronomical numbers compared to what others speak of, even with a much more sophisticated set of tools over and above anyone else.

    Good to hear from Tarzan. Dear norm if your reading this can you bust all my post and drug use and escorts in this thread. I am at a different point in life I was 2 years ago. And since people know my name and are able to pull my osn I don’t want it getting back to my real name. I don’t gamble at all anymore except for family poker games where you can lose 10-30 dollars. Things are going very well for me in life right now and I am a different person and have moved on from
    All vices.

    No, you don't have to be a paid member. There may be a limit in how far you can go back.

    I met Zee, too. He sat down at my table, I recognized him from his OSN picture, but didn't say anything. Though I don't have a good story to go along with it. I mentioned it in a post once before.
    I am curious about if myself is in this OSN picture system. I have been backed off from blackjack a few times here and there, but I’ve been back to them to play again with no problems. I guess these casino didn’t care about me playing because I lost a lot of money to them after all. Where do I go see these OSN pictures?

    Why is it that I find the bolded part not surprising?
