Who are you, anyway? I haven't seen any posts by you until recently. Do you play blackjack? Where are you from? Where do you play? At what level? What do you know? Are you a pro or a rank amateur? Who are you? I have been on this board for some time and every so often someone pops up out of NOWHERE, and begins denigrating someone on this board. I have contributed to this board, and to Blackjack Forum and to Blackjack Review for many years.
I've been a member of Green Chip for over ten years (maybe even longer.... hell, I'm old and can't remember when I joined. Trust me when I tell you that it's been a long time). Actually, I don't take the time to read the posts here, and I suppose I should frequent the page more often.
I'm not a pro AP - I have a good job playing accordion in a cathouse. I also have a hobby of banging on an old set of drums, so that's where my handle comes from. It's good therapy for the times you can't win a single hand and complete frustration sets in - give it a try sometime. :-)
Perhaps you should give Green Chip a try. The dues are relatively cheap, and there is a wealth of information on the various pages.
If you didn't know what "Prior darksider" meant", it tells me that you haven't been backed off, trespassed, backroomed, followed by goons, physically threatened, etc, then you don't know how dangerous the "darkside" is to an AP's longevity, sir.
As some of the other longtime members who do post on this page - they will tell you the same thing.
I sensed no animosity in your reply, and take no offense whatsoever.
Thanks for the response, and I hope to see you posting on Green Chip someday.
Regards and respects,
