A 48 year old restaurant businessman from my home town committed suicide recently because he lost 126K playing BJ. I always wanted to have an in-depth conversation with him about the game especially because I new he was playing with big money. I never did in order to keep myself private as an AP. I guess I felt it would be like trying to catch a flight to the moon to convert him to AP status. It is still sad though. The poor man thought luck was in his favor.
The lesson being taught is that the game is brutal and nobody has any business playing it with any sizable $ if they are not an AP.
