Staying on point

I'm sorry, but like adhoc's most recent post that brought absolutely nothing new to this string, neither does your's above. Were it due solely to luck, yours or mine, the deviation dog would have nicked us both at least once by now.
After reading your last post to TMan's I remember now that you seem to carry a giant chip on your shoulder for the global casino community at large; one I have never understood. Thats' fine, I just think it clouds your thinking, if only in this discussion.
I've noticed you have never once stood up to defend DM, only to use his circumstance as an opportunity to challenge the process that convicted him.
Do you actually believe what he was doing should have been tolerated? If so, maybe reaching across, grabbing the stack, and riffling through it before placing the cut would be OK? I'm sure no NJ state legislature ever acted specifically on that point, so let's call it advantage play and start putting down some monster bets.
The court (as you say, I thought it was the NJCCC) ultimately actually acted against DM. You would probably like to say that the courts are not in the business of making law, and I agree they should not be. Unfortunatly, unlike 15 years ago when you got this insite from the one attorney in your state, they are now.
And maybe that should be focal point of the beef, the fact that courts (and appointed commissions) are making the law.
David Morse was a cheat by my standard and I don't blame the NJ casino for putting a stop to it. The great state of New Jersey, through all their myriad layers of courts and commissions, could have let him play on. They didn't. They made the law.
Not the casino.
That's how I see it, and I know we differ.
[ By the way, I have tried to be very decent in my posting of late; trying to stay on point. Your implying I prefer to live under tyranny, your implying I delude myself of being skillful, while only being lucky, is not helping matters much. I'm doing my best to remain civil. :) ]
