Just teasing you Fisher. Thanks for elaborating on a career that many of us wish we had.

Hey, whatever happened to Iceman? Is he still out in Vegas?

Ok, lol...…….and on that note, it's nothing special, MANY, MANY, MANY here have better and/or more rewarding careers than me, the vast majority in many great fields of work and even some from a gambling perspective.

Iceman still in Vegas, have not seen him for at least five years or so, good kid.

I have just a little idea of what it's like. I used to follow a pro around Vegas finding 3-card poker games where we had an advantage. Some waiting around. A lot of driving around. Some more waiting. Then playing.

Problem is the variance. That's what kills some advantage gamblers. They don't have a big enough bankroll. Some teams of gamblers bust out before they can turn the profit.

I remember sitting at Slots A Fun winning $1200 in one hour and most of that was just from the cards we had come our way, not our actual play. It was then I figured how much variance there can be. A couple weekends later I lose $1400 in one sitting at the Riviera across the street. At least I got a nice dinner for free at the Italian restaurant there. The waiter said he served all the big names of Vegas.
