OK, I hope this comes off right. I am relatively young I guess (30's), ambitious, good with math, numbers etc.
I have been doing this Blackjack thing for a short time (Basic strategy, counting, etc..) and just feel I am hitting a brick wall. Sure, I have read all the books, practiced, read the forums, and have immersed myself in it.
But there is only so far I can go with this type of learning. I guess I am basically asking you "old timers" if you would like a prot�g�' to take under your wing. Maybe you can't go into casinos anymore. Maybe you're burnt out. Who knows? This can be an opportunity for you to pass on what you have learned over the years to someone else and see the fruits of your labor. Like a father passing his knowledge to a son.
I don't know. I hope this doesn't sound too forceful or anything. I want to take this game to the most extreme advantage in can get to. After reading this forum for quite some time I have an enormous amount of respect and admiration, especially for you "old timers". And I say the term "Old timers" in the most respectable way you can imagine. The knowledge you possess is incredible.
Well, I guess the best way to sum this up or better yet, the best analogy I can think of is the movie Rocky (Part one). Rocky Balboa is an ambitious young boxer that wants to go the distance. Mickey is the "old timer" that shows him the way from all of his experience and knowledge. He passes this onto Rocky and together they make Rocky 2 and Rocky 3. :-)
Seriously though, I would like to take Blackjack to the level it can be. I would be honored if someone with your caliber would be willing to take me under your wing and together we can beat Apollo creed. Who knows, maybe I'm crazy. I do know though that we'll have nothing to lose and when I set my mind to something, It Gets Done. I respect you. I can do this. WE CAN DO THIS. I�m not being cocky, just confident. Let�s take this from right under their noses. Thank you.
