“I crush blackjack 400$ per hour but got bored. So I decide to run business teaching instead”

Anyone who'd ask, "if you're so good at counting cards, why aren't you still doing it?", is only displaying how little they understand it. Eg, I would think many people who watch Steven Bridges' videos would conclude that the stress isn't worth it, regardless of the end result.

[@sslaw6]

Lol this is so absurd. Literally no specifics. Just surface level fluff that anyone could say

I lost a couple of hundred hours playing Apex Legends, and I still suck.

I have a friend who was a pro poker player and had to quit. His reason for quitting is because, in his words, he was making money but he wasn’t providing anything to anybody and had nothing to show for his work (other than money). That eventually wore him down. I imagine being a pro blackjack player is similar… fun for a while but not for a long term career.

If you are in the military, show you CAC card, they cant photo it or copy it.

Most Las Vegas casinos have bad deck penetration. They now hit soft 17. When I played, the Strip casinos stood on all 17s. The rules were great. Double on any 2 cards, double after splits, surrender and insurance even on single deck games. Single deck games were dealt more than half way down. Usually 2/3 to 3/4 depending on the dealer. And the dealers did peak in those days for blackjack.

#1 is a treasure. I’m so grateful for You Colin for your honesty, help and empathy in the last “reason” too. You’re 100% right, life is much more than just money

I remember playing when the dealer peeked at the hole card with a ten up.

Dude! So good to see you posting more content. You helped me get through quarantine.

Great video Colin. On #3, 100% agree protect your identity. To all new players. Don't use a "player's cards" if at all possible. You can flash your ID at the table (keep it in your hand), even cover your name with a finger just show the DOB, but say you don't want a player's card. Most of the time you are not considered a "Refusal" and you can keep playing.

Love the videos Colin, just started getting into it my mom is a blackjack dealer never really looked into her work and this is the first thing I stumbled upon find it pretty interesting. I guess she's never seen it from this type of perspective but love how you explained it. I've never really thought about anything like this before besides seeing it in movies etc. Pretty interesting and something i'd like to learn.
