Gman, I agree with your overall assessment. Still, I feel that all the books in the blackjack library, most of which I have read, can only provide you the theoretical tools. After learning all that is presented and putting it into play, the practical side still needs analysis by an expert. So, even though one may be book smart, in practice s/he may still be an intermediate player. There are those who can translate the theoretical information successfully into practice and there are those who still need coaching to fine tune their abilities. I feel that I am in that second category. I should have been tested out a long time ago by an accomplished AP. That's how the bootcamp benefits many players.
On the other hand Gman and 21forme you've got me wondering how many players complete the bootcamp and still are unsuccessful?
