This might be true, but I don't see why it has to be. -Michael

I've put in 12+ hours in a day. I could probably keep it up for a while but I don't think it's a good idea if you want to play poker in any sort of semi-enjoyable manner. I don't mean to be condescending or insulting. I have a lot of respect for you but I can't imagine multitabling for that long is a good long term situation. What is playing blackjack like exactly? I can't find the allure. Krishan

"What is playing blackjack like exactly? I can't find the allure."
Haha, I should start a new thread, but it's extremely odd. When I first started gambling at 19, it was blackjack that attracted me. But I quickly got into poker and left blackjack behind completely as a -EV game. I went 200k hands at 6-max without ever having a 200 bet losing streak. Then I had a 500 bet losing streak and picked up blackjack. I started playing every time I would have a losing day. Unfortuantely, or fortunately, I am up $ in my life playing blackjack. I really don't know why I picked it up. I would start taking days off of poker, then it would be late, I would be upset with myself and thinking, hey, I need to make money today, but there's no time, let's play blackjack for $100 a hand. Anyways I should not be so honest I think. I can't play blackjack anymore because I owe jason_t $500 every time I play, and that's that. I don't plan on paying him a dime. -Michael

Re: AA
You characterize Blackjack as a -EV game. [Perhaps you meant just online blackjack).
But it is not. I've made $70,000+ over the years periodically cardcounting good blackjack games (brick and mortar)

That's awesome. I don't count cards. Maybe I should. But no, seriously, I just want to stay away from the game altogether. -Michael
