Confessions of a Card Counter

My Story

The movie '21' spawned a whole new generation of card counters of whom I am proud to be one.
However, the path to becoming a card counter was not as easy as I thought.

Where have you been?

Got a few mails asking me where I disappeared to. I stopped my card counting activities for a few months due to a death in the family and some heavy negative variances on the tables.

I also decided to relaunch my poker website, http://www.pokeradore.com/. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed doing a little web design every now and then.

So all in all I have kept away from the blackjack tables for a while. But I ventured out again to some local haunts tonight for a little card counting fun.

Unlike my first trips, I was feeling very relaxed and uninhibited. My skills are a little rusty, but I'm back to playing table minimum these days so I can't do too much damage. The stress is a lot less when you play low limits compared to the high limits I had reached a few months ago.

Glad to report that I made a quick 38 unit profit (about spot on for my EV) before retiring once again to my normal life.

Aim to post a little more regularly now for those of you who have started to follow this blog now. Don't worry, am very much alive, kicking and counting!
